Lean on me.. (bit blurred)

For all you Munster fans out there ...

Dimy

No offence intended... but...

Maybe you should post this on the sports forum.... it's not really great photography imho :rolleyes:

melekalikimaka

ditto

fatboypee

ooooohhhhhhh... sorry to have offended such obvious purists of the noble art of photography !!!!

So what you're really saying to all those who try and take pictures and offer them for interest of others is something akin to " Don't bother yer ar$se posting here , we take GREAT photos and all yours are bound to be CRAP"...?????

melekalikimaka

no, maybe show us a few more then, its just that picture there, as you said is very blurry so i get the impression you put it up as its an image of the trophy, not as a picture your techincally proud of , so I just think maybe the rugger forum would be more suited, if you want C&C....

its quite blurry and its very cluttered, maybe blur the background a bit and reduce darken it bit and convert it to b&w and use some selective colouring around the munster flag for effect

Just one quick point?

If your skills at photography are equal to your clearly demonstrable abillities in the art of sarcasm (or dare I mention the term Wit), I would honestly give up now if I were you and take up something more appropriate.

melekalikimaka

ah now i wasn't being sarcastic, i think if that was done to the image it'd look very good.

I'm with melekalikimaka on this one - if you posted it on its photographic merits what he said holds up - if it was posted for the sporting achievment it should go to the sports forums.imo.

I would agree with you that there can be an unfortunate sense of elitism from regular users on photo forums/sites where people decide their photographs are art and those of others are snapshots and therefore not worth while. This was the case on this forum but I have to say that there has been an improvement recently and a reduction in snobbishness.
My advice is to keep on posting and ignore the begrudgers.

Sorry, but what part of the no offence intended did you not get?

I think Dimy made a perfectly valid point and he put it in a perfectly inoffensive, non-inflammatory kind of way and that was a bit rude of you to respond like that as if we're all snobbish elitist pretentious nasty people. An awful lot of people have found this a useful place to learn about photography, and to pick up ideas and get meaningful comments on their pictures. You posted a picture without asking for critique and it seemed an awful lot like your intention was to show it for the sporting value than the aesthetic. Try not to take something so personally, and in the wrong way too... otherwise it's your loss.

Its a "photography forum", for discussing photography, shockingly enough. If I post a picture of some pretty flowers, we'll discuss the merits of the photo.

If I arrive and say "Oooh, for all you flower lovers out there, heres some ForgetMeNots!" then its not really about photography is it?

Then imagine that its not even a very good photo of forgetmenots, its actually a badly composed and completely uninteresting photo.

Then, imagine I had the audacity to get narky with someone who mentioned any of the above, regardless of how polite they were in pointing out my obvious confusion.

I'd be a right ass then wouldn't I?


(Hows that for sarcasm...)

Fionn

at the end of the day it's a photograph!
a bit blurry
but like still a photo

perhaps he should have just said "here's a shot I took recently!"

peace
