Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / January 2008My Kookaburra (my turn to post a bird shot)
Keeping up with the Jones' and all of their birds shots, here is one of our famous Aussie songbirds, the Kookaburra. It was a bit out of my outfit's usable range (whatever that means lol) so I have included an arrow in the picture to point it out.... http://www.potd.com.au/gallery/albums/userpics/10002/KookaAndRailShed.jpg On a side note.... I saw on tellie that they have now proven that all of the 4500 species of the worlds songbirds originated from Australia. .Aussie Aussie Aussie.... oi oi oi !!! > Keeping up with the Jones' and all of their birds shots, here is one > of our famous Aussie songbirds, the Kookaburra.

That's a really interesting method you used to sharpen the image and (almost) remove the chromatic abberations around the frontal lobe of the balloon. Phone camera, was it? Most definitely if you took it with an "L" series lens you need to consider replacing it with some decent glass.

It was a bit out of [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > ...if it helps. (just fixing typo) In all seriousness Russell... If you can't see the purple fringe on the left edge of the balloon, just under the beak (between the beak and the first line of feather mark is where it is most prominent), and on the crown of the thing, you probably ought to downgrade to a camera phone because you don't have the skills to warrant all that expensive equipment you tell us you have. I can see it in your web image. It's clearly visible at 2000 pixels and quite alarming at 4000 pixels wide. At first I thought you'd used software to remove green fringe from the right side of the thing but on closer examination the white 'halo' on that side is more likely just from poorly done sharpening. You got to see the original. It must have stood out like a beacon and you missed it? Some of your images are very pleasant, many have technical flaws like this one that would see them in my waste bin if I were considering them for stock photos. With all the experience you claim to have and indeed all the time you claim you've had expensive gear to play with, of all people who post here, you should have seen such obvious flaws and either junked the shot or just kept it until you got enough skill to fix it. I can understand a wannabe like Mark/Charles (spiderman LOL) posting crap and not knowing it was. He couldn't take a decent photo if he tried but you can. What happened with this one? You get stuck into people you take a dislike to over trivial issues and then line up for a dose of criticism yourself for faults way more noticeable than those in the pics of who you target. I'm starting to think you are one nasty bastard when you can't have it all your own way.

I can't see it, but then we all know about my colour perception problems.... (O: Funny thing is, my *eyedropper* can't seem to spot it either.... So just give us those coordinates, OK? If you can't, that would be an admission of error. > you don't > have the skills to warrant all that expensive equipment you tell us > you have. It's good to see how you take the high ground and avoid personal attacks. > I can see it in your web image. It's clearly visible at 2000 pixels > and quite alarming at 4000 pixels wide. Fascinating. On my screen (must be broken I guess) the image is about 420 pixels wide, and yet Douglas is looking at 2000 pixels and 4000 pixels. That's magnifying it 5-10x!!! And seeing stuff that no-one else has commented about.. Wait.. perhaps he is not just zooming - maybe he is using a faulty enlarging algorithm? > At first I thought you'd used > software to remove green fringe from the right side of the thing but > on closer examination the white 'halo' on that side is more likely > just from poorly done sharpening. There is indeed a small LIGHT (not "white") halo along some areas of the image, but it is barely visible unless you foolishly zoom it up. As anyone with a bit of imaging nouse knows, you can *only* evaluate sharpening at the intended size. Given that this is just a small web- sized 'funny' image, I think the sharpening is pretty close to optimum. Perhaps a fraction overdone, but it seems only Doug (and now me!) has a problem with it. > It must > have stood out like a beacon and you missed it? More applicable might be a retort: Your monitor is badly adjusted and you missed it? You are doing exactly what you criticise others for? (I quote: "You get stuck into people you take a dislike to over trivial issues".. or in your case, you do it over issues that don't even exist..) > Some of your images are very pleasant Yet a moment ago you were abusively telling him he didn't deserve expensive equipment. What a hypocrite. > I can understand a wannabe like Mark/Charles (spiderman LOL) posting > crap and not knowing it was. He couldn't take a decent photo if he > tried but you can. So, D-Mac, can you explain why both you and rita keep referring to 'fun' images, that were clearly not posted with even a trace of egotism (please post quotes if you claim otherwise), and yet you somehow fail to critique them and therefore be constructive in your criticism? Surely by specifying exactly what is wrong with them, you will help others. And then you can post *better examples*. And why have you avoided referring to other images I have posted recently? Were the spider ones the onyl ones you thought worthy of criticism (unspecified, of course)? If you offer serious genuine criticism of my images, I will happily respond, and post better versions. That way everyone learns. Why can't you join in and try to be constructive for a change? Haven't you wondered why nobody is agreeing with you??? And now completely offtopic: Why didn't you return to that thread where you posted false information about the Australian rail network? Just a reminder - the Trans Australia rail link was completed on Oct 17, 1917. You got your WRONG info from a hobbyist site. You were wrong (go on, try and say it!) even though you claimed otherwise, and then ran away. Just admit it like a man, you big sook. I can post about 30 sites which give the correct date, if you want, including timelines... > You get stuck into people you take a dislike to over trivial issues Like I said - you're a hypocrite. > and then line up for a dose of criticism yourself But don't you get it, D-Mac? haven't you noticed? Here's a big clue - the only one criticising is.. YOU. And nobody takes you seriously any more, except to pick on your mistakes. So getting bad reviews from you is a mark of honour! Keep it up. The thing is, you could turn that around if you wanted to. But it seems you don't want to, so do carry on as you are. (At least Rita knows she is just an entertainer..)

Not just this, but all your photos demonstrate you are a nothing more than loud mouthed wannbe who attacks those who are successful at what you claim you once were but again, can't offer any evidence to support the claims.Eventually, you'll either learn enough by the cut and paste method you enjoy or simply confess you are a fraud. Either way, you need some serious medical help with your problem before it becomes more of a problem than you can handle. > On Jan 17, 8:11 pm, mark.thoma...@gmail.com wrote:> Possibly off > topic, but I'm just trying to make DMac's comments into> something [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > fraud.

I have been posting mine without a worry. You'll get some critique if you ask for it. I want that for my photos. You won't cop those sort of attacks. There is an ongoing "war of words" between a couple of regulars. Lurk a little and you'll see who the main protagonists are. They will be nice to you on their own.

The only issue people like yourself have to bother with is when you ask for help, get it from a knowledgeable (often qualified) professional and some jerk still in nappies decides (with their 2 days and 3 hours experience using a Kodak digicam) reckon they know better and starts a flame war. It's way to common around here for it to be a safe place for a female looking to learn something. Personally, I'd highly recommend you head for a controlled or moderated "forum" where idiots are banned. I subscribe to several where the principal idiots who inhabit these uncontrolled photo groups - the ones who have plenty to say but nothing about photography are either removed quickly by the moderator, been banned because of their behavior or they simply don't go there because they can't have any "fun" when they have to behave themselves. Try the Yahoo groups for starters. D-Mac > Personally, I'd highly recommend you head for a controlled or > moderated "forum" where idiots are banned. I subscribe to several [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > behavior or they simply don't go there because they can't have any > "fun" when they have to behave themselves. Did Bret get banned from that "other" group or did he simply lose interest? Rita > Did Bret get banned from that "other" group or did he simply lose interest? I usually try to avoid moderated forums because I abhor censorship. I'm a big boy and can decide for myself which posts to read and which ones are just spam or trolls. I've been banned recently from one moderated forum just for ragging the moderator in private e-mails. I did join APUG, however, at Ken's insistence. I hardly ever read it, though, and I tread lightly since anything mentioned about digital has the same effect on those film luddites as sunlight has on Dracula. Moderated forums are boring and usually die quickly. You end up with a small group of people who think exactly alike. I don't want to live in a world like that. As they say, "If both of us always agree on everything, then only one of us is doing any thinking." >> Did Bret get banned from that "other" group or did he simply lose >> interest? [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > in a world like that. As they say, "If both of us always agree on > everything, then only one of us is doing any thinking." Sounds reasonable.

As they say, "If both of us always agree on > everything, then only one of us is doing any thinking." There you go having a "Look-at-me" opinion (yet again). Moderated groups are not about YOU being able to choose who's messages to read but about everyone else having the freedom to participate without fuckwits like YOU interfering with the rest of the participants. Far from dying, Moderated forums are flourishing, free from thieving swine like you, people can get on with discussions about photography. You should try it ...or figure out why that group of your name has no posts to it. Got it yet? Do the rest of us a favor and see if you can hold your breath for as long as you keep hold your dick while you're on Usenet. > There you go having a "Look-at-me" opinion (yet again). All of my opinions are "look-at-me" opinions, fuckwit. Did you just join here today? > You should try it ...or figure out why that group of your name has no > posts to it. Got it yet?

I was banned as well for simply stating my opinion in a very polite and placid way, so it's not just Bret. The administrator has a problem with people who disagree with his point of view. All you're left with is robot-like individuals who only function using one brain, one mouth, one opinion, always being afraid to state their opinions for fear of being banned.

You are left with people who want to discuss subjects without interjection and interference from a pair of idiots. You didn't get thrown off the forum for having an opinion, you got kicked out for trying to argue someone else down. Here's a tip. Never argue with an idiot from Tennessee. They'll drag you down to their level every time. It goes like this: It's OK to hold a different opinion. It's OK too, to reply to a post with your different opinion. It's not OK to engage someone else in an argument just because you don't agree with them. It's not OK to steal other people's pictures and announce what you did with them when you don't agree with someone else. It's not OK to forge my identity and make out I advertised a wedding package in a news group that was listed on E-bay after you filed a complaint that my wedding photography package was listed in the wrong category. And what is the interest from a Canadian bitch in an Australian listing? None. You were just being a plain old fashioned nasty bitch. Your fraud is detailed here:http://www.annika1980.com/ silverberg_commits_fraud.htm No lies, all verified truth anyone can substantiate with 5 minutes searching on Google. It's not OK either to try and steal someone's password to there seller account on eBay... These are exactly the disgusting behavior you and your idiot mate got up to instead of just being satisfied to post your opinion. All the evidence about the both of you, over a substantial period of time, behaving in the most obnoxious and disgusting way any person could imagine is all detailed on http://www.annika1980.com for anyone to see. No lies, not opinions, just facts that can be verified by searching Google. The kindest thing you could do for the rest of the Internet community is simply dump your PC in the trash can and take up knitting - anything that didn't involve communicating with other people because yours and Bret's idea of "do as I say, not as I do" simply doesn't work. Never has, never will. Learn some social skills or don't they teach 'em in the gene pool you pair were hatched from? (the usual) So.. getting back on topic, does this mean you won't post the coordinates to prove your claim of the purple and green fringing? And you therefore admit you were wrong?

Yes I would just love to know the names that Douggie has used that I have apparently adored, I have made comment on pictures by a few posters, I dont recall making any that were particularly full of adulation. Though I suspect my positive constructive praise far outweighs your in these groups, probably because your such a failure that you have to try and bring everyone down to your poisonous level :-) >> That makes you a despicable troll of the worst kind.

Doug is really turning out to be aus.photo's very own Cookie Cutter Shark..... he comes out of nowhere, takes a chunk out of someone and then bugger's off without ever explaining his actions. There are multiple threads where he makes claims, then fails to back them up with any evidence when questioned. These threads are left dormant with only the sound of crickets occupying the space. Of course Doug will find the time to respond to THIS post though and I am sure that it will no more than insults and lies as always (and he will prob ramble on about how he is the victim and I am the bad guy/ bully... LOL!!!!), but at least it might be legible this time, as it seems that Doug must have fixed his "radio link" and "self made decoder" as his last post's formatting was OK.

Right beside > the old line. You seem to have (conveniently, as usual) forgotten your comments over here: http://groups.google.com.au/group/aus.photo/browse_frm/thread/df1edd8f17dd0cd9 When, after I corrected your alter-ego Prisilla about the date of completion of the TARL, YOU said, and I quote: > Not only has he got the date wrong by 5 years but for someone claiming to > have lived in the area the line passes through, he hasn't a clue about it. > "The Trans Australian Railway was started in 1910 and took two years to > construct" As I pointed out then, you were quoting a hobby website that was WRONG. So you were WRONG too. The Trans Australia rail line was finally linked up on October 17, 1917. Five years after you said it was. Verifiable at many, many websites, history books, etc.. Trust you to find the single wrong site on the 'net. Born loser. During that thread, you also said: > Exactly what is it about you "Mark" that has you making such a total idiot > out of yourself all the time? Embarrassing, hey Doug? Given I was right and it was you (and 'Prisilla') who was the idiot. Then you said: > Are you so obsessed with me that you can't think straight? > Come on teach... Get it right I did get it right, dunce. And you just can't bring yourself to admit it. Senile? ...or just puerile?

It is based on religion. Some have stated they believe the physical laws of the universe are GOD. However, we still don't know all those. Maybe one day we will. I don't believe or think God is in our own image. So on one level I'm an atheist and on another perhaps not. Looking at the world and God it doesn't seen to mix. Lot of squabbling and bloodshed.

Whether or not God ever existed is another matter altogether. The movie "Chariots of the Gods" produced some compelling images suggesting God may have been a space traveler who seeded a female and this is how Jesus was born with his (then) super natural powers. I got extensively into the old testament a few years ago looking for descriptions of wild grasses whose seeds I could use to make traditional bread and understand the Kosher food laws. I can't comprehend how such ancient literature can describe in great detail "God" without ever producing any evidence of his existence. The Jews are said to have uncovered more scrolls they are not releasing to the world. Perhaps when scholars around the world get access to them, it may shed some light on the subject. Until then I subscribe to the theory that atheists are as radical as the religious crackpots they poke fun at. > On Jan 23, 3:33 pm, raglan...@gmail.com wrote: >> [quoted text clipped - 57 lines] > subscribe to the theory that atheists are as radical as the religious > crackpots they poke fun at. but there you go Douggie, I don't poke fun at religious zealots, I believe in live and let live, if God floats your boat, then that fine by me, if you believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, then again, more power to you, my choice to not believe in a divine power is mine alone, I don't force it down your throat, because lets face it, not many people have been turned to either camp by someone yelling at them and telling them they are wrong :-) I have a friend who I would consider a Fundamentalist Atheist, he will take every opportunity to tell a Christian they are wrong, so far he is 0 for 100 in the convert stakes and very likely to stay that way, I find it is better to let people come to their own conclusions either way and leave it at that.

Besides, where is the reward? - Christians get brownie points that get them into their Heaven if they convert enough people over to their beliefs. But we atheists have nothing to gain. so why should we bother? This is why I stopped posting to the religious Usenet groups.....I was just wasting my time. If they want to believe in those ridiculous myths, it's no skin off of my nose.....I just wish they wouldn't kill each other (and people like me) over it. > I just joined this group but after reading this I'm almost afraid to > post anything especially any photos in fear of fierce feedback...Is > this the norm. here? It depends on your objectives. If you just want to join the "click" and be part of the daily pissing match or be an individual and stimulate the idiots with creative outtakes this is the place to be. This is a good place to use your 10-minutes for unwinding from the daily stress and stir the pot (sh.t) and have fun with the indigenous populous. If you are serious about photography you are in the wrong place. If you should stay, here are a few guidelines (10 Golden Rules) to make this enjoyable for you. 1) Never post technical correct or good images. 2) Never size them larger than 1024x768. 3) Always strip EXIF data to keep em guessing. 4) Always try to blow the highlights and keep just enough motion blur to attract the critics. 5) Always use catchy titles that "hook" your audience. It's best to include the type of equipment used. 6) Always give your equipment creative pet names and include this in the title. 7) Always use a hosting site such as Geocities with limited bandwidth. This keeps your targeted audience in suspense and provides more enjoyment for them. 8) Always stimulate your critics by being extremely combative and obnoxious as possible, they love it. Critics love nothing more than being shitted upon an abused to the max! 9) Optional methods are to take an extremely crappy image and crop and Photoshop the sh.t out of it to create a composite. This method is trademarked by another resident poster and can't be used without exclusive permission from him. 10) Always cross post your images to three groups as the Australians love this. Anyway, welcome aboard take nothing seriously and have as much fun as humanly possible. We are all like family and enjoy new blood. Rita |
