No problem. You just declare a tie between all entrants for first place.
Everyone gets a participation trophy because, hey...we're all winners here just for showing up, right??

Someone should call PETA... Poor elephants will need 'surfer protection' now.
(Sorry, this thread is about levity. What you typed is entirely true but I try to keep this light. Still your statement is a good obeservation.)

Yeah, it all boils down to that sweet spot between practice and learning. After thousands of hours of reading and doing, great gear becomes a bit helpful. But without knowledge and carefully honed skills, fancy tools are just fancy trinkets. It's a painful lesson for some to learn.

Now, please do not tell me you will shoot from an elephant rear end just to get the right stuff...
PETA sure has some work to do here.
(remember this thread is NOT serious).

Imagining somebody at PETA snapping their head asking, "Who SEZ we is not serious?!"
Side note about Elephants' rear end right (and left) stuff. The folks who actually got hurt with the shutting down of the circus were the gardeners who rushed to be early for the parade of the elephants from the railroad side tracks to the place of the three rings. They had their diverse bags ready to collect that wonderful and natural fertilizer, to disperse in their yards. (Though I've read about a few fights erupting throughout the years. And I think there was a reporter who wanted to find out why so little was ending in the dumps.) I had a couple opportunities to watch those parades. But I was not a land owner at the times.

Yes. Every one is a winner. It has lost its meaning. Children are being socially promoted to the next grade. The importance of achieving the academic background to be promoted no longer exists. When and in many cases if they finish high school. Their grade proficiency is at the 9th-grade level.
CUNY, City University of New York has to incorporate remedial classes for incoming freshman. This is applicable to 3/4 of the incoming freshman.

Cameras take good pictures now; who needs the future...I'm too busy with the present.
O is the best. Light, stable, mostly works (except when you need good lighting).
RAW RAW RAW for the home team. JPG is Just Pretending to be Good.
PP all the way. I don't have time to figure out the processing before I take the picture.
Take as much as you can on a trip. You can't take the picture if you don't have the gear. Is there any other point to travel? My memory has gone the way of my hair. Photos are the next best thing.
I do hope I get to see what photography has to offer in 20 years...but I'm not likely to be able to use it much or for long.

Let me be the heretic regarding the future and RAW... I think in-camera processing will get so good that even fewer users than today will bother with RAW. "Serious/professional photographers" may be diehards when it comes to RAW because they need that capability to do their work, but the majority of camera users today (counting DSLRs, bridge cameras, P&S consumer cameras, cell phones) are probably quite happy with their JPEGs, and I predict the JPEG quality will get much better over time. I believe the majority of "image snappers" would rather simply post and share their images digitally than waste their precious social networking time creating a great photo.

That is likely the sanest answer but who wants to be sane when most of us are approaching senility????
