Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / March 2007Picture of a fence
Clearly this group doesn't need a boost in traffic - or so the couple of vocal critics of my photos suggest so... I've stopped posting to here when posting to rec.photo.equipment.35mm. Maybe those who thought my presence was in itself unwanted and just encouraged the troll to come out from under their rocks, can express their views on this matter without interference from the kooks of the world who claim to be photographers. http://www.ryadia.com/Bush-fence.htm Douglas > Clearly this group doesn't need a boost in traffic - or so the couple of > vocal critics of my photos suggest so...

Nice composition, just very 'flat' looking. And as usual the Copyright thing just looks silly. But keep at it Douglas - one thing I have noticed is that you *finally* seem to have got the hang of avoiding JPG artefacting... If you keep this up there only about 5 more major faults to correct, and you will be good at it! > Clearly this group doesn't need a boost in traffic - or so the couple of > vocal critics of my photos suggest so...

Looks like you just re-posted what you had posted under Fred's signature. Did I miss something or did you forget to paste his comments? Just wondering. Like the fence shot, though. Reminds me of some of my trecking days. Draco Getting even isn't good enough. : > Excellent comment Fred. The most constructive post you've made. : [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] : : Getting even isn't good enough. Fred is one of those smart arsed dudes who thinks it's cool to be cool. A Troll. Despite me posting only to Aus.Photo he though it was cool to make sure the message attracted maximum troll comments by just adding a newsgroup to the header and re posting it without anything said... Absolutely his most constructive comment for 2007. Thanks for the comment, Douglas. > http://www.ryadia.com/Bush-fence.htm Oh master of image processing, I Love how you darkened the sky, but you forgot a triangle on the center left of the image. Oops? Or is this another image "designed" to bring out the evil critics?  SignatureMark Mostly photography... http://www.marklauter.com I was heavily armed and absent minded. You pay a high price for that in the Army. - Dom : > http://www.ryadia.com/Bush-fence.htm : : Oh master of image processing, I Love how you darkened the sky, but you : forgot a triangle on the center left of the image. Oops? Or is this : another image "designed" to bring out the evil critics? You've lost me there... That image was cropped. The 'highlight/shadow' tool applied to lift the close end of the fence out of obscurity and levels applied to it. Can you be specific about the bit you refer to? > You've lost me there... > That image was cropped.

Probably didn't get this triangle selected with the rest of the sky. I've made this mistake myself and had similar results.

Keep in mind Mark, That shot was about 15 minutes post dawn, after I took the lighthouse. No doubt you'll believe whatever you choose but I did absolutely nothing to the sky. Maybe it's a cloud or morning mist in the triangle area? A quirk of 20D's when set up to use Adobe RGB is to lower the overall colour saturation as the gamut widens but in that mode, they saturate blue a little more than when using sRGB. This could also be the reason. Normally, I would have taken these shots with a film camera. Had I not taken the digital specifically for a job I was doing, I would have but the Digitals were all I had with me that day. I'll send you the RAW file if you'd like to assure yourself of what I say!

I'd love to have it! Then maybe I can figure out why you're bitchin about saturation on a RAW file. That's kinda the point of RAW, if you don't like something, change it. Too bad that doesn't work on you. You must be JPG. Just a Paranoid Grump. > : > You've lost me there... > : > That image was cropped.

If you are using photoshop then the raw converter gives you the option of choosing sRGB output or aRGB output. I've been using my 20D only in raw since i've had it and it has never exhibited that quirk even though i have set the rgb levels and white point.

Of course, D-Mac is sought after kinda like the way that Osama Bin Laden is sought after. That's why he needs the boat ... for those quick getaways when the angry brides come calling. > Clearly this group doesn't need a boost in traffic - or so the couple of > vocal critics of my photos suggest so...
