Why did you post a picture that is sharp with a question about unsharp photos?

This was a follow up to a previous question(same question) in an earlier post. As far as Samuel is concerned, yes I have a MarkII N I shoot with, a 1DS, and a 5D...is there a problem with that? I am shooting this with my 70-2002.8IS lens that I am using for this. The 2.8 that you have a question mark next to is the f stop in regards to my lens. You seem to have a question about everything I said for some reason though...you talk about having questions for my post...am I supposed to make sense of what you replied to me with?? Anyway...thanks for nothing. I posted a picture of something sharp because that was one of the few that came out sharp and I wanted to see if someone had a comment on the photo in general. It does not make sense to me to post a blurry pic because there is nothing you can tell me other than "it is not sharp", which I already obviously am well aware of. It sometimes seems like people on here want to give others a hard time as opposed to just answering the question. I now know better and won't waste my time.

hey tort, me again.i never did see a picture and I guess it really doesn't matter. are you using spot metering,or evaulative? in that situation I would probably start with 400 iso and shutter priority at 1/1000 to start and go from there, and next drop to200 if they seemed a little overexposed. with spot metering, or center focus? the tip you got on your other post on panning, excellent. takes a little practice, but with an is lens you should get good results. by the way there is a little paranoia around here.myself included.i also tend to post with a slight character flaw I have been working on.apparently in the works? and I should have known the 2.8 was the speed of the lens. and you are so wrong about posting a blurry picture, so wrong. even rod stewart knew every picture tells a story, so will yours if you post it or put it in your gallery? don't sell this site short because of morons like me, the other members deserve better. yeah, sam

Sam, your not a moron! Tort, like Sam said, some of us are a little bit paranoid with new people because of our trouble maker. Also like Sam said, posting a sharp picture isn't going to help us help you at all. A blurry picture probably would have been able to help us a lot more.

Alright, sometimes this online stuff gets to me. Sorry for being short, but I have had a couple weird things on betterphoto happen to me this past week. I went out today and shot it again with my ISO at 1250 and my shutter speed at 1000/sec and usually @ f/11ish and 80% came out very sharp in comparison to the day before. So my conclusion is that 500 for the shutter speed was just too slow. Thanks for the suggestions and try to start fresh with the new day.

c'mon brendan please let me be a moron? i didn't even know 2.8 was an f-stop. and tort, you might even go with f8 with your lens and get good results, a little more isolation of the subject. sometimes I am such an idiot, sam
