I was helping to organize papers during a placement exam at BCIT last night. It was one of those civil-service tasks of matching names on a list to numbers on the papers. I really struggled. I've always known this sort of work isn't my forte. The speed by which my colleagues accomplished the task, however, drove the point home. I'm assuredly a big-picture type of guy. I've taken enough pop psychology tests to know that I work better dealing with tasks involving synthesis. Speaking of pop tests, I've devised a new question to help me with personality assessment. Unfortunately it does require an interest in photography. If I know you, email me your response so I can check the validity of my new theory.
If you were given the choice between a macro lens that allowed you to take close-ups or a wide-angle which offered excellent panoramas, which would you pick?
