Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / UK Photography / January 2007Photography - Top 10 Tips
Photography - Top 10 Tips If you ask the experts, they'll tell you that there are ten things you can do to make sure that your photos are as good a they can be. These are by no means the only things that will give you better photos but most of the pros agree that these are at the top of the list.

"Take the photo at eye level. If the subject is a child then stoop down to their level. This is called getting a bird's eye view and is very effective." Chicken's eye view perhaps! Seriously, some were OK but my top ten would be different.

You need to follow the link to the author to see the real joke of this. He's written 3000+ articles on all sorts of crap. In another one on photography he says: "Light is one of the most important aspects of this art, because it determines color, brightness and shutter speed." and "If you want to take a picture of an object that is 40 feet away then you will need a large focal length." (well, yes if it's an insect, no if it's a suspension bridge) In another he says of, what he calls, 'temperature filters': "One example of use would be on a photo taken on a very cold snowy winter day. A warming filter would be used to give the shot more of a warm effect in spite of the snow on the ground." Maybe if he used a really warm filter, it might melt the snow for him. And in another he claims to have known AA: "One of the best landscape photographers I ever knew was Ansel Adams." (maybe that should have been "knew of") and in the same one he claims to have known another photographer who: "photographed from the feel of the sun on his face to determine just the right moment as it were since he was totally blind" Who is this berk? (Oh, his name's Michael Russell and he lives in Australia - if you're interested). > > You actually read it??? That it was from an entity calling > > itself a "dude" was enough to make me skip it.

He's >written 3000+ articles on all sorts of crap. I can't get a handle on people like this. What do they get from this kind of useless self-promotion? Maybe someone with too much time on his hands and no need to earn money may do it as an alternative to playing with himself and going blind, but other than that I'm at a loss to understand the mentality required to produce this sort of drivel. >In another one on photography he says: > >"Light is one of the most important aspects of this art, because it >determines color, brightness and shutter speed." He missed out "And it lets you see the numbers on the shutter speed dial so you can set it properly." >and in the same one he claims to have known another photographer who: > >"photographed from the feel of the sun on his face to determine just the >right moment as it were since he was totally blind" Oddly enough I recall a blind photographer attempting to get a distinction from the RPS and making a lot of noise about "discrimination" in AP sometime last year. A spokesperson for the RPS said that the images submitted were cra... erm, not up to standard. End of story. >Who is this berk?

The last time I looked at the OP's site it carried advertising. He's getting paid by those people who fall for his spam in newsgroups and then follow the links to legitimate sites. It may only be 2? a click but, lets face it, he's not put enough effort into it to feel ripped off at that price!

It (just about) pays for my hosting and registration costs. Without advertising, in the case of the OP, quite discreet and easily ignored advertising, the web would be a much poorer (in the sense of less content rich).

I don't knock advertising, I know how much I spend each year putting pretty pictures and carefully crafted text onto millions of dead trees in an effort to get more people to buy from my company. If I had something against advertising I'd save a fortune... except I wouldn't be making any money. WRT the OP: He posts regularly (though maybe not frequently) here and in many other NGs on different subjects (always on-topic). However, he's posting to promote his site - which has very, very poor content - and the reason he's promoting his site is because he is making money from it. I'm all for people making a living; what I object to is people posting links to utter crap on a regular basis, knowing it's crap, but not caring because some muppet will follow the link, and (with a bit of luck) will click one of his links "sponsors" and he'll make a bit of money. Money for old rope is one thing; money for commercial posts to a non-commercial NG is not on - especially as he keeps doing it. Geez, look what you've done, I only came in here for some R&R and now you've got me all discombobbulated.

I don't disagree with you about that (although my sig includes one site with adverts, but it's not commercial, in that you personally can't spend any money there) >Geez, look what you've done, I only came in here for some R&R and now >you've got me all discombobbulated.
