  1. Paul...Sorry to see you go.I have checked your portfolio and there is only one photo showing.''STOP''...so your delete action must have worked!Salutations-Laurent

    Laurent: I hate to go too. I finally figured out how to delete my photos. I refuse to support bad customer service. AND, although once they are posted on their site,,,they can recover them. If they were to use them without my authorization, that would result in a legal issue that they would regret. I don't want photo.net to have them. I have still not had a reply to any of my messages. I have paid for another year. So, I'll still be around, but I had Chase Bank cancel the four overcharges. About 30 days from the renew date in 2020,,,I will send another message that the administrator will probably ignore, to NOT allow an automatic renewal of my Premium Membership in 2020. Then I will contact chase Bank again, and have all other charges from photo.net Blocked, and to inform me thereof. It's a shame that photo.net has deteriorated to such miserable customer service. There are other sites that offer better alternatives to photographers who want to post their work on line.

  2. Seems as though I have missed a very simple function. I thought I had deleted all of my photos. Then I signed out. I returned to find them still there. What did I do wrong, or not do at all? My intent is to pull all of my work from the site. The Administrator has been completely unresponsive to my requests for help regarding a multiple charge (five times), of the automatic renewal of my Premium Membership. It amounts to an overcharge of $119.88. I had Chase Bank, remove all but one of them. I will remain for one year, so that I can monitor the site as a paid Premium Member, but I want to remove all of my work. An administrator who has demonstrated a total lack of concern for problems of its' paid members,,,should not be trusted as the custodian of my work.

     

    So, I would like to know how to get my work deleted from photo.net.

     

    Thanks, in advance for your help.

  3. I have one photo that has collected 201,893 "Impressions" since it was posted 06/29/18.

    I would really like to know what the hell "Impressions" is based on. I suppose I should be happy with the high number, and just keep quiet about it.

  4. I just looked at my Chase for Business account charges. I became a Premium Member of photo.net on June 2, 2018. I am currently enjoying all of the benefits thereof. However, I have been charged Five Times at the Annual Rate of $29.95, on June 2, 2018 for One Membership. I don't need Five Memberships. This is an obvious mistake, for which I am confident you will be able to resolve quickly.

     

    Please call me at (832) 725-9577. That number is not answered, unless it comes in with a caller ID, or is from a number that I recognize. So, leave me a voice mail, and I will return your call very shortly thereafter. My e-mail address is paul.rollin@gmail.com

     

    I look forward to haring from you soon.

  5. I carry my Sony A6000 with the kit 18-50mm lens. Set to Shutter priority at about 1/400 sec - Continuous, with ISO set at Auto. I use the LED display/view finder a lot, because I can tilt it, so that it doesn't appear that I am shooting photos. Crops are important, in post processing. Sometimes I didn't realize how good a image might have been when I shot it. It comes to life when I begin to do my crops. Desaturating to Black and White saves many a bad photo, that otherwise would not make it as a color image.

    Perhaps if you had more than six photographs to illustrate your superior skills it would result in a bit more respect for your remarks. Your bio make makes reference to all of the publications that you have been published in. However, you have posted only six "Girlie" pix. That doesn't say much for your diversity as a photographer, regardless of the light source, or the method by which it is used.<br>

    If you know what you're doing, you can light a subject with a flashlight. <br>

    It Ain't the Gear. it's Where you Steer.</p>

  7. <p>I was personally fortunate to work with Ernst Hass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Haas for two weeks in the mid 1960's. I asked him what is the difference between Great photography, and mediocre photography. He was kind enough to give me his opinion:<br>

    <em>"Nearly anyone, with a camera, loaded with film, and the knowledge of how the camera operates, if brave enough to go to where the action is, can take a techincally good photograph of a thing, or an event. The Great Work, is that which shows the thing, or event, in such a manner that it has never been seen before.</em> <em>There are hundreds of thousands of photographs of bugs, flowers, sunsets, children, puppies, and kittens. Show me something that I have never seen before".</em><br>

    I don't always accomplish that goal, but it is my quest.<br>

    Regards,<br>

    " BTW, it's amusing how the A350 is regarded as beginner's or "step-up" camera. I've been beginning and stepping up for 4 decades now."

     

    Here...here. I could not agree more.

     

    It ain't the gear, it's where you steer. If you don't know what your doing, you will find yourself in the ditch regardless of what equipment you are driving.

     

    I have owned Leica, Nikon, Canon, and now ,Sony. Any wrench can get the nut off, if you know how to turn it.

     

    Some of my best work was done with the simplest, least expensive equipment.

  9. Although the Nudes have ruined the rating system,...There is Not One Heterosexual Man on this site that doesn't routinely check the Nudes catagory to see the hot babes that some lucky photographer has talked into getting naked in from of his camera. I would never vote to have the Nudes removed.

     

    I wonder what line they use to get the girls to strip off their clothes. Please tell the rest of us perverts. I doubt that they are telling the girls, "Look, If you take off all of your clothes, I can take your picture, and post it on the internet for the whole world to see your beautiful body." I already tried that one, and got punched in the mouth. So, tell us what the trick is. Is it Money? I suspect that many of these women are volunteering to strip off for nothing more than a compliment. The rest of us want to know.
