  • I'm a student ......

    Yeah yeah, if he didn't want feedback he wouldn't have posted etc etc and the artist/photographer in question hasn't complained (yet) but still...offering critique and suggestions is one thing, photoshopping someones image without being asked to is taking it a bit far imo.

    Mr.Vandal, I had never suggested that my idea was superior, but only a different take on his effort. He understood that. I understood that. Everybody understood that.....except you.

    You are right, it would be rude to tell someone that my own photographic experience is superior. I didn't do that. Please join in the complaints the OP may make, and then I would defer to you both. As it is, you are one your own on this one.

  • I'm a cock

    Oh look I can edit posts too, how fantastic am I.
    Whatever dude, I just think taking someones images and editing them for them is a bit cocky.
    You're free to disagree and think that what you do is right and it's hardly a surprising stance for you to take on your own actions.

  • Just sayin.
    That's someones art you're fucking with.

    he's not fucking with it he changed the colour to illustrate a point that people don't have to agree with. no 'art' was harmed in the making of that post.

    jake and dinos chapman 'changed' some Goya etchings

    that's fucking with art.

  • Just sayin.

    I don't see anywhere that he claim the photos as his own.

    Taking his photos, claiming them as his own and tried to make money out of it would be a bit cocky.

    You remind me of the bloke who's all fussed about having his photo linked in another website.

  • thanks for the advice guys, yer i never used the auto focus when i did have my previous camera body as it was broken and im more than happy to be fully manual and learn the actual skill involved with photography

    Ever heard of constructive criticism?

  • Ed has a point, there's no CC licence so it's theoretically open season. But to be honest I wouldn't like anyone actually applying a suggested change on my stuff either... just sayin';

  • ^ that.

  • (saying that, I'm OK to have this changed...)

  • Sorry , but it does seem invasive. And I know you did preface your amendment with "Hope you don't mind me illustrating the look I would lean towards." and absolutely fair enough. But to do it to two of 99wombats photos? And then what particularly got my goat, so to speak, was that you were rude and snobbish/sneering to mechanical vandal about his own photographs when he questioned you on it?

    I remember a couple of years ago you effectively told me to take some of my own photos down from the Photos from Mobile Phones thread in a PM. You gave an excuse about bandwidth but it was clear the underlying message was one of snobbery and not feeling that they were sufficient for the thread, that pedestal of sublime imagery... I was newish to the forum at the time and not wanting to step on toes, obliged.

    We're not Cartier-Bresson, we're not Adams, Bourke-White or Leibovitz. There's one thing for a bit of constructive criticism, but we don't all have your decades of experience, so go easy on us mere mortals.

    It's clearly perfect as it is.

  • storm in a teacup. a few peoples need to remove underwear and untwist them.

  • mug thread's that way :) >>>>>>

  • I'm a bit concerned about the guys representation of his member on the right hand one though - looks like two cut in half and stuck together

  • Just got back from holiday with my new toys - a yashica 124g and an epson v500.
    I'm quite happy with the scans from the v500 for 35mm, but the 6x6 seems soft and I am not sure if that is because of focus issues on the scanner or a problem with the yashica.
    Tis a huge job to scan in all the negatives though!

  • Tell me about it mate.

    It can sometimes take me days to finish scanning in film.
    I've got no end of the stuff backlogged as I've just moved into a new place and It's all packed up somewhere.

    Also them scans don't really appear to be soft to me (not that I'm an expert) do you apply sharpening when scanning them in?

  • An accomplished job.

    These are rad! :)

  • Thanks - I am really happy with them, especially compared to last years shots.
    Last year my light meter died and I had to start guessing exposure - about 50 percent of shot came out. This year I have less than 5% of shots that are too far off to use.
    The fireworks were the easiest to guess to be honest as I just opened it up at f11 and waited until enough fireworks burst to fill the shot.
    Now I would never go back to a camera with an internal light meter I really want a handheld one though - it would make indoor shots so much easier.

  • The more I look at this, the more it grows on me. Though for texture detail, I always go for black and white.
    Hope you don't mind me illustrating the look I would lean towards.

    I'm fine with constructive criticism :) like I said before, I was thinking in colour at the time, I find it quite hard to switch between B&W and colour in one shoot, especially as I only have one film back at the moment. But I'd probably have shot a completely different set of images if I'd had B&W film in the camera.. I guess what I'm saying is the colours were partly what made me take that picture in the first place.. also because it looked like a teeny tiny forest but that's not really relevant.

    The 6x6 is perfect IMO - there's too much emphasis on sharpness in some camps; you've produced an image there that's difficult to reproduce in digital (photochops and all).

    Lovely shots

  • Fun point and shoot 35mm cameras. Hit me. I've got a Yashica T5 (fucking loves it) so I'm thinking something a bit more 'fun' if that makes sense. Lomo, non-Lomo, I'm open to suggestions! x
