It is.

I just wish there had been some basic tecnical info included about
what camera, lens, strobe, etcetera were being used.

Being an amateur, nothing too expensive:

*perhaps*, but this particular amateur lives with his wife and teenage son
in Jaroszow, a village in Poland around 30 miles from the city of Wroclaw.
His day job is being a physiotherapist.

HTH.

Which, like your previous answer, is very Holmesian. I.E. full of
what the author thinks are very clever deductions, but, like the
novels, reaching entirely fictional conclusions that leave readers no
wiser than they were before.

We still have no idea what equipment was used to take the photos *or*
how expensive it was, Sherlock.

And if you are indeed too lazy to do that:
FujiFilm FinePix S6500fd
Canon EOS 40D, Tamron SP 90mm/2.8 1:1 Macro
for starters.

Try reading MY post again, OK? I was referring to the info -or lack
of same- in *your* posts.

Giving a URL while not stating what might be found there in reference
to the question at hand is about as useful as puttings tits on a boar
hog.

Right. Where exactly is ther information lacking in this?
"Being an amateur, nothing too expensive:
http://photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=5928980 "

in response to your:
"I just wish there had been some basic tecnical info included about
what camera, lens, strobe, etcetera were being used."

>Giving a URL while not stating what might be found there in reference
>to the question at hand is about as useful as puttings tits on a boar

So, if I saw you respond to a query with a link, I should expect it to go
somewhere totally unrelated?!! WTF?

According to our hog sex fetishist, I should provide instructions to click
the links.
OK, specifically for Twibil (but also anyone else who wants to whine) :

1. When someone posts a link in response to your question;
1a) Click it. Good move, as someone you have probably never met before has
bothered to respond to your question. (Goto 2)
1b) Ignore it.... don't whine... go away.

2. Having clicked the link;
2a) Look around a bit. Good move, as someone who has the knowledge you seek
has bothered to put it up on the internet. You will find what you wanted and
be satisfied. (Goto 3)
2b) Look. See no flashing personalised neon sign saying "Here is the
information you seek"... don't whine... go away.

3. Having looked around the site;
3a) Leave comments for the photographer (in this particular case). Good
move, as he may actually appreciate the fact that his efforts are serving
some useful purpose. (Goto 4)
3b) Be satisfied.

4. Entirely optional;
4a) Respond to poster with a hint of appreciation. Perhaps invite
discussion. Good move
4b) Respond to poster with a terse "Thanks for that" (or similar). Good move
4c) Don't bother to respond. Good move, but others may do so, possibly
showing you to be a bit of an ingrate.
4d) Blame your stupidity on everyone else. It's NEVER your fault. Way to
go...

HTH.
Regards,
Sherlock (aka Richard)

as a P.S. The pics at the link I provided are not too shabby considering
that they were done by an amateur using not too expensive equipment. It
really is the skills which matter most of all.

Thanks George.
Good to see that you bothered to click through and actually meet the
specification of IQ>=100.

Stupidly, I did the decent thing by not directly linking to a specific
thing. It's one of those annoying habits I have, realising that some
websites exist solely through revenue from viewing stats. I always figure
it's best to post the link to the frontmost page. Often, I will post the
additional links to pages of specific interest.
However, in this particular case, Twibil asked a specific question. I
responded with a link to the photographer's pages (which I found using a
search after reading his pondering). I found pertinent information and
posted the link. I assumed any NORMAL person who had sought the information
would follow the link and explore.

Regards,
Richard (sometimes confusingly, aka Sherlock)
