No "serious" critiques on Flickr? Sez you.

[lex_jenkins]

<p>Gotta admit, <a href=" one cracked me up</strong> </a> . It's the first time I've seen anything other than unfettered praise on Flickr. I'm assuming no special invitations to exclusive mutual admiration societies will be issued by anyone in that thread.</p>

<p>WARNING: RUDE LANGUAGE.</p>

[younes]

<p>Boy this things turns nasty faster than you can say it!</p>

[phyrpowr]

<p>thanx, Lecks, nau I kno what a prime lensse is</p>

Kids! What are you gonna do? The future is safe since we were all jerks like that but turned out okay.

[MichaelChang]

<p>Speak for yourself, James! I was the perfect teenage kid except for the long hair half-way down my back, and the time I... oh nevermind.</p>

[MichaelChang]

<p>More seriously, though, it brings to me more respect for the imperfect doer (photographer) willing to take a chance at throwing themselves to the wolves (talkers) for critique.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>much ado about soup.<br>

funny.</p>

[jackaldridge]

<p>All it did was make me hungry....</p>

[jay a. frew]

<p>Looks like they have crackers with their soup!</p>

<p>Cheers!<br>

<p>It looks almost like a real life version of this video:

<p>Remind me not to invite those guys over for pork skins and warm beer.</p>

<p>It's not serious until there's a discussion of the benefits of L-glass...</p>

[luis_g]

<p>For a minute I thought I was reading the PN philosophy forum.</p>

[shaloot]

<p>I think all the typos in most of the comments was the most annoying thing. I can't stand when text talk is done on forumns or where places you know the person is using a full proper keyboard!</p>

[seismiccwave]

<p>The Internet! Such a wonderful place it is. So warm and fuzzy. I wonder how many slaps these kids will get in person. Every school in this world needs to mandate a course in Internet etiquette!</p>

<p>Wow....thanks for the link Lex. Got my laugh for the day.<br /> <br /> Does anyone else see the irony in a group of people arguing over the technicalities of aperture and depth of field; yet not one of them makes any attempt to complete a sentence?</p>

<p>I am so glad I found PNET. A place where you can have an adult conversation....using.....WORDS! <em>(As opposed to texting lingo)</em></p>

[jill_bingham]

<p>LOL</p>

[KenPapai]

<p>I would bet some one those maroons in that thread are newly minted wedding photogs (including the Flicker OP) with their tyro dRebs and their kit lenses with awesome prime DOF's.... LOL.</p>

[philippacheco]

<p>ha...</p>

<p>prime=best</p>

<p>out of focus means you suck.</p>

<p>flickr really is a terrible place for crits.</p>

<p>thanks for that, made my day.</p>

[gordonjb]

Lex;

 

I am so glad you have way to much time on your hands, that was priceless.

 

" and "stack" the objects over each other with a telephoto lens, and shoot at f44. its by far the best aperture for every day use like this! "

 

After laughing through the entire thread this part made me laugh so hard my wife came downstairs to make sure I was alright.

[jay a. frew]

<p>Further proof that it is difficult to form an argument (or a sentence) when you communicate with your thumbs.</p>

<p>Cheers! Jay</p>

[wogears]

<p>But wat appature shud i relly use on my lense?</p>

[dangoldman]

<p>im is so lost....What an idot, obviously the smaller the number the smaller the apptrue and long the DOF.....<br>

In all seriousness though, that is still pretty civil compared to some of the other websites i post.</p>

[Tim_Lookingbill]

<p>Well I jiz wun -uh say dat I tink there are primes in life thank you very much you know it all throw back who thinks he knows what we were like when we were kids.</p>

<p>I wuz a kid to (insert the extra "o" I forgot too type write) and I do have a prime in my life where it was very sharp, so there, I am much wiser and less sharp at age 50mm because I am wider open in my mind.</p>

<p>Put dat in your pipe and smoke it out your arse. I'm going back to Flikr where prime minds are wide open and talk is gooder and more deeper and more smarter.</p>

<p>Lex, you duh! Man!</p>

<p> </p>

[lex_jenkins]

<p>Those comments got even better since I first read 'em. Now she's saying she's sick of the photo and plans to delete it! That whole thread is hilarious. I'm tempted to offer a comment saying I like the photo (which I do, it's not bad at all), but I fear a Flickr vs. Photo.net critique war might ensue. If that happens we'll all hafta dodge incoming glowinky animated GIFs. And I'll be forced to adopt a cute nickname before I can show my avatar on Flickr again.</p>

<p>Poor girl. I bet its the last time she'll ask : "Tell me what you think"... :)</p>
