Absolutely - is it just to briefly show others?

I remember loading my camera with a 24 exp slide film in NZ and when I tried to wind on past frame ~27 the camera 'jammed'.

Took ages before the penny dropped (I always usually use 36exp).

For some it;s the fact that they are doing it , it's their image/photo/vide o, in years to come they'll be more likely to lok back through them than di g out the professional version. You might as well ask peole why they take p hotos at sporting event, have you seen the number of flashes that go off i n stadiums where the 'photographer has little if any chance of even being a ble to recognise the players from such a long distance.

[Bill Wright]

Exactly.

Tell that to the parents of the children killed in the Manchester Arena bombing.

We can't deport lightning.

Because the news broadcasters don't censor the news just because it helps terrorists, and because that sort of news is the sort of news people "like" to be told, much like they will be told about a multi-car pileup, killing many people, but not the many single person road deaths.

[Java Jive]

Because you still haven't been able to give one. It really is that simple.

Totally oblivious to the Inverse Square Law of Light. Better to turn off the flash and use Automatic. The range of a flash is unlikey to have any effect beyond 20 feet - and it has limited or fixed the shutter speed to expect a flash.

[Bill Wright]

A non sequitur on your part. The fact that I haven't given a reason doesn't mean that I can't.

+1!

The very fact that he wants to hide information that affects every one of us is enough. There seems to be a plot by the establishment to deny that isalmic terrorism exists. Everything to be downplayed even if they can't totally hide it.

You have personally been effected by islamic terrorism?

Is the so called religion of every criminal always mentioned?

What you appear to want is what *you* already 'know' to be confirmed by others. If not, why post the same sort of thing time and time again?

[Tim Watts]

Yes, fairly significantly, short of actual injury:

1) Airports are a PITA now (especially liquids); 2) London looks as ugly as hell with barriers around parks and bridges; 3) I actually worry for my kids if they go on trips to certain places.

That is what happens when we act as a US proxy and knock 7 bells out of Middle Eastern countries and allow another to shoot unarmed protesters.

[Max Demian]

Arthur James Balfour, 1st Earl of Balfour deserves some blame, and he was one of ours.

[Al]

I'm guessing he got more than just 30 pieces of silver for his gutless act of surrender.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

You'd rather not have an attempt at protection against terrorists of any sort - or just plain nutcases? Or only want protection from islamic ones?

One would hope is was possible to provide some protection between cars etc and pedestrians without it looking as ugly as this temporary stuff.

Just what terrorists set out to achieve. A fear out of all proportion to the actual risk.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

But britain rules the waves, Fred. We have to keep those wogs in their place.

[DerbyBorn]

But they will loose their camera.
