kevin m. Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Make yourself useful, Bailey. <a href=http://www.natporter.com/>Here's</a?> a link to some work of mine. If you have criticism of either a destructive or constructive nature that I can make use of, then let me have it. (Most of the pics are under "our flavor.")

lachaine Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Sometimes, the content of the photo, the subject, or something about the subject, is what is important to the person who took the photo, not the technical quality. Who is to say what is technical quality anyway. That's something for school, not for the real world, and much of it can be in the eyes of the beholder, as someone else already stated. To me, being openly critical of other people's photos and their technical qualities is very much comparable to people who correct other people's spelling or grammar, or who criticize the colour coordination of their outfits. I don't know about you, but I can't stand people like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 amazing how people read into and distort the whole point of the post. i'd like to see poeple submitting the best possible work that technology allows here. not quality that, as Jamie said, you wouldn't even except from the photo finisher. i'm not intrested in seeing photos taken off the fridge and tossed onto the flatbed scanner and posted with dust and dog hair and a "Happy Birthday Al" thread started. it bugs me.

jack_lo_..._t_o Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 But what if you were, like, extremely artistic in the way you arranged your dog-hairs? Would that be OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travis1 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I would classify dust as a technical problem. Contrast, colour, exposure, well, these could be subjective IMO. I remembered when I posted a very contrasty shot of a man and a woman, a forumer basically said it had nothing going for him because he can't read the words on a signboard in the picture and that the tones were missing (DUH!). If I'd wanted a full gamut of tones, I'd present a full gamut tonal picture as best I could. But I doubt Jamie was riding a horse looking down. I just don't feel that way. The forum does need some humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin m. Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I post a link to dozens of pics, and I get html feedback? Some people on this forum are shooters, and they post pics; some people are gearheads and collectors, and they post useful information about cameras. You're rumored to be a knowledgeable critic, so why not share your skills with other members of the forum? That's what I meant by "make yourself useful." My pics are there, care to play?

michael_dimarzio Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Ok, I don't have a Leica, so what I am about to say is not worth fondling....(j/k). I was going to post to failed photos of Elephanta Island, India to show fellow PNers some film reccomendations. Do these photos have any value of posting? Probably if you are not anal retentive and would have liked to have been a tad better prepared for travel snapshots. I'll post them anyway, who cares if somebody thinks they have no technical merit, thats the point. If they give you a heads up on what not to do, isn't that of value? Anyway, I guess every b+w exposition prior to 1990 at the Leica Musuem in Prague were horrible photos, they didn't even have Photo Slop, I always thought Ansel Adams sucked, now I know why, he didn't have Photo Shop either. What a great thread to an extreme anal view. Jamie, your constructive comments to the posters of horrible photos would have been really appreciated, they would have learned from you instead of being looked down upon. Some of you guys may remmeber me, I posted a question a while back on the Leica Forum, which was better, vodka with Technidol or D-76, and asked about a starter Leica RF for my girlfriend. I never did get her the camera, I bought a few more Zeiss lenses for my C645 instead. She is getting in great shape carrying it, but in the spirit of friendship, I carry the tripod. But, there is an M6 in our future. Cheers, be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajpn Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 This thread is one of the reasons I find myself posting fewer and fewer pictures on this site.

claudia__ Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 are you saying the Z person ( i resist having to do whaterver that thing is in front of the Z) is a <i>Heather????</i> I kind of think of her/him as the fussy aunt in a Jane Austen novel. but it is fun reading Z posts. gets totally worked up about nothing of significance.
