    Dont lose your camera, even in the ocean.

    Wonder how this one will fare out, I have a feeling the pictures may go NSFW.

    That's a bit odd, isn't it? He's asking people if they know anyone in the photos to get in touch so he can return them, but then he's making a big event out of it by posting one at a time and putting "funny" captions with them?


    :confused:

    Strange carry on alright, it will get a lot of hits though which is what the poster is probably after.

    seems a bit ghoulish touching up photos of war dead in that manner.

    Which, the guy with the camera being a príck or the security guards?
    That was just stupid to be honest, he had ample time to get his few pictures, but instead of doing so and moving on - he had an argument with the security staff and acted like a twát. He didn't have to stay there and argue.

    Stupid security folk. They had ample time to determine if any actual laws were being broken and explain to the guy if he really was doing wrong. They acted like twats. They didn't have to interact with him like that on spurious laws to re-enforce their power trip. They didn't have to stay there and argue. (read: the guy was doing nothing wrong. Why would he move on?).

    Interesting video. It made me LOL.

    I think the guy stayed there to prove a point and to get it all on video knowing he would gain a few YouTube hits for it.
    He was well within his rights to stay there and photograph whatever he wanted.
    Some parts of the UK have Anti-loitering laws as far as I know, I'm not sure if this would have been considered loitering or not.

    True, I just have very little patience with people like that, I'm not a people person :pac:

    Im not attacking you ...


    I think he should, continue writing and put the camera down....


    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/269/windowsbs.jpg/

    ^^^^^

    Who the hell claims to have 20 years experience and posts a poorly cropped picture, that is not even correctly or horizontally alined, yes Im being pedantic but if some one says:
    I've been taking photographs for international clients for two decades.

    should have the common respect for the industry to put in the effort in when processing images.
    and then
    I am the author and photographer of 5 photo books.
    Well any one with half an ounce of understanding can do that its nothing new... Doesn't mean he knows what he talking about maybe he's just a **** photographer with a good agent...

    Maybe thats why it look so gloomy :(

    Sorry folks :o

    What I'm saying if your going to waffle on about the doom of photography as a profession and post a picture at the top ( i.e. that dude blog). I would expect that the writer would have the pride considering he's got 20 years experence to correctly process there work to a Professional grade.. Not half ass it.

    A photographers work is defined bye his pictures, Ansal Adams said you don't take a picture, you make it... meaning its much bout the processing as it is about the picture it self.

    I never said anything about Camera club.

    What makes you feel that that picture isn't of a 'Professional grade' ? What defines a picture of 'Professional grade' ?

    Ok the crop is pretty poor, would you agree theres a lot of undesirable look lines that are different widths and heights which make it look some what messy and untidy to look at..

    perfect example and some what similar http://www.oneseason.de/ look at the crop it neat and tidy its symmetrical ... you don't just leave undesirables in a picture it doesn't make it look any better it show lack of for sight with in you photographic abilities thats my issue....

    what defines professional work... of the top of my head... couple

    it's a blog, for god's sake. not a portfolio.
    plus, some of the links you provided there link to work which is simply ****ing *hideous*. and they *are* portfolio sites.
