<p><strong>THIS IS FOR ALL</strong> <strong> ACADEMICS WHO ARE MORE INTERESTED IN THE SUPERFICIAL</strong> ,<strong>JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS,SARCASM,SHOWING THEIR IGNORANCE THEY MISTAKE FOR INTELLIGENCE,AND ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT PHOTOGRAPHS</strong> ...<strong>I HAD A LOOK AT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS GUYS...YOU DON'T HAVE ANY TIME TO WASTE...</strong></p><p>(Moderator removed gratuitous photo posting.)

<p>HELLO THERE,<br>

CAN ANYONE TELL ME OF ANY GALLERIES WHO ARE WILLING TO GIVE EMERGING PHOTOGRAPHERS A CHANCE? I AM DOING A COUPLE OF THINGS AT THE MOMENT..."OUTSIDE IT'S AMERICA" (AMERICAN INFLUENCE IN IRELAND)...THE FIELD...SINGLE LIFE...HOMETOWN...WILL INCLUDE A FEW EXAMPLES....<br>

<p>have you seen william egglestons' shots?</p>

<p>anyone know anything about this printing process?</p>

<p>i see there is a lot you can do...i will have to try layers,i was selecting each area and working on that...when i toned a shot,i would convert to grayscale,then use duotone...if i used dark colours,it would darken the whole scene too much...i would want that tone,but not the darkness....</p>

<p>do you think it's possible to get results like winston link/sally mann for example? i use photoshop...karen,when you tone,do you find it darkens the end-result,and if so,how do you get around that?</p>

<p>what was the speed and aprture joe?<br>

tommy</p>

<p>can anyone tell me a good way of converting to black and white? i am trying to get the best results....tommy</p>

<p>this is an xhbn that attracts a few thousand entries at 15 quid a pop...i entered a shot that was damaged in transit(the glass was broken),so they left it unwrapped...then they judged it unwrapped,looking at it through bubblewrap and tape...luckily,somebody up there inadvertantly told me...then the selection committee tried to lie...i know,because the photograph came back with the broken glass still inside the wrapping...so stay away from this one...the selection process is also supposedly done on the basis that the artist is unknown,but this is not true for those who are known to the judges personally...the art community in dublin is small,everybody knows everybody,hence the same names crop up every year...</p>

<p>are you interested in photography or philosophy?</p>

<p>any competitions going at the moment? free entry,good prizes,ones i might win....</p>

<p>well,i won't be allowing it...it is possible to do something here even if you don't go down the legal route because of money...keep making contact with them by email for example until it's resolved to your satisfaction...the amount of time they would have to spend on it would cost them a lot more than the price of using a photograph...the guy i will be dealing with is the county manager of a county council,so any time he spends on this will cost a lot..you could also go over there and chain yourself to his personal bathroom or personal secretary...i think you would have a good chance in court too...remember all those unfair contracts musicians signed in the 60's? some of those were rescinded...we can't let these bastards get away with it,otherwise they will keep doing it....<br>

tommy</p>

<p>could that be considered an unreasonable/unfair contract?</p>

<p>did anyone have trouble with businesses stealing use of your photographs through entering a competition? i did this where i entered shots for a calendar competition to a tourist forum who are now using some of those shots to promote festivals...the terms say they can use the photographs,but it does say "related to the particular event"...it's really open to 2 interpretations,but if it was in their favour,that would mean they can use my photographs forever more,free of charge,to promote tourism in the area...what do you think?<br>

tommy</p>

<p>thanks guys....tommy</p>

<p>if i stop down on this lens,it's almost impossible to get it sharp...i find the best aperture is f11...anyone know anything about this?</p>

<p>thanks guys....tommy</p>

<p>do movie cameras deal with the light range better than film cameras,and if so,why? sometimes it seems like like they do when you see a film</p>

i was toying with the idea of buying a digital hasselblad...i was wondering if they are as good as the 501cm....

does anyone know how the hasselblad digital cameras compare with the 501cm? are they as good?

can anyone tell me how the hallesblad digital cameras compare with the 501cm? are they as good?

this is what i wanted to know...thanks guys....

i know he used a lot of lights...what i want to know is how he did it...how did he light the trains in the background? was it with a stronger light,and if so,where was it positioned? how was it used so that it didn't overexpose the foreground? i want to know exactly how he did it...crates of flashbulbs tells me nothing....

does anyone know how link got his night shots? i know he used lighting,but what about the trains in the distance?

they were hardly lit...

can you tell me what n-prints are?

thanks
