That's because you don't have a 3D monitor.

Fixed it...
They are very flat images, but I would attribute that to "I had left the ISO at 800 " instead of automatic...

I figured it was a reference to the image being flat, but the "normal" I had no idea. I wasn't even trying to take amazing photos anyway lol. I had my 50 1.8 on there, Auto WB, and yes, ISO at 800, Aperture Priority, no filter, no PP, etc.

a normal is a 50mm lens. i figured you'd know that since you get paid to take pics for a major aftermarket accessory company.

And the rest of us figured that the word 'normal' is an adjective when used with the indefinite article 'a', and as such would be followed by a noun.

Never heard that term...but had you said PRIME I'm sure many of us would have known what you were talking about. :twak:

primes are any type of lens that have a fixed focal length, whereas a normal is a lens that simulates the "normal" field of view of the eye.

depth isnt based on colors, its based on light. since he was shooting aperture priority with a PRIME 50mm lens with the ability to drop down to an aperture of f/1.8, there should be some sort of depth of field in the shots, and there isnt at all. more than likely he was shooting at a high f/stop which forced the camera into a slower shutter speed (and the 50mm normal lenses are not as good in the higher f/stop ranges- they excel, and even the purpose of a straight 50 is the extremely low f/stop), letting in too much light, and coupled with the auto white balance in the snow and the overcast skies makes for an very flat image. the ISO800 also doesnt help.
shooting at a lower f/stop and quicker shutter speed would let in less light, and define the shadows much better rather than turning them all to washed out darks.

I'm not confused, he was criticizing the technical value of the guy's snapshots.

Exactly.
that is all.
and the "normal" FOV of a DSLR depends on the unit, since some are full frame, and some are not
