not even provoking.<<<<

Well, Ole, they were provoking enough for you to respond to, otherwise 
you would not have bothered!

>>>>Eric Goldstein wrote: the relationship between focus and the 
perception of depth if one exists....<<<<

>>>>OLE HANSEN wrote: It does indeed - read any tekstbook on 
stereophotography.<<<<

Well, we could do that for any of the topics presented for discussion 
here, couldn't we? Then we could just shut down the list and wouldn't 
have to worry about checking e-mail for the next exciting installation!

>>>>Eric Goldstein wrote: how sharp is sharp....<<<<

>>>>OLE HANSEN wrote: That depends on camera and film.<<<<

I thought sharpness and DOF were related in the particular topic we were 
discussing. We weren't discussing equipment (which will affect sharpness 
in a different way).

>>>>Eric Goldstein wrote: ...a selective focus image that shows depth 
and my answer is that is it irrelevant to me!<<<<

>>>>OLE HANSEN wrote: That is your way of looking at the problem, but 
why do you then take an interest in stereophotography?<<<<

Eric is entitled to express his opinion or preference (or lack of). That 
is what this forum is about. The exchange of ideas, facts, and opinions. 
He's here. He's discussing. Looks like he's interested to me!

bad.<<<<

of your nowledge.<<<<

You don't have to be impressed at all, but you also don't have to be 
rude.

>>>>Eric Goldstein wrote: We are, after all, all colleagues in our

endeavor....<<<<

>>>>OLE HANSEN wrote: I doubt that - You do not seem to have the chance 
to improve your skills as you now all the answers as a creative 
director, teacher and judge.<<<<

I have yet to meet anyone that knows it all, only those who think they 
do, and Eric has never come across as one of those.

respect in kind.<<<<

>>>>OLE HANSEN wrote: You have brought my patience and respect to an end 
by your posting.<<<<

Obviously, at least in the respect department. What is the problem, Ole? 
This is an open forum for discussion. You don't have to agree with 
everything said. You don't even have to participate in the discussions. 
But why do you insist on being so blunt and rude? I don't recall seeing 
this in your postings in the past. So skip the stuff you don't agree 
with, or the stuff that doesn't *provoke* you, or better yet, start a 
topic you have great interest in sharing or discussing.
