First time HDR

[Buckster]

Get off your high horse talking down to me like a child. And keep your playground talk for the playground. Grow up. These discussions are for a general discussion thread. The OP was asking about his images. You turn it into a b1tchfest. Grow the hell up. I am not a buttercup and I know more about photography than you appear to give me credit for.

I see more discussion here than gallery images. So you are off topic. Grow up and learn some respect.

Stop acting like a child having a tantrum, and perhaps you'll stop being treated like one.

In other words, lighten up, Francis. :lmao:

You're the one directing the post at the poster rather than the issue.

No, I'm really not. Feel free to go back and read what I actually wrote before you decided to have your little tantrum.

I stand behind the truth of the matter: HDR and tonemapping are two different things, and it's not inappropriate to point that out

Neither is it inappropriate to have a discussion on a forum such as this, whether you think it is or not. Lots of threads start out with just a photo, and evolve into a discussion about that photo, then about the techniques or gear or thoughts behind that photo, then those techniques or gear or thoughts in more general terms.

You don't get to dictate to anyone here how those conversations develop and evolve, nor what we're allowed to say or talk about within the bounds of what the administration here deems acceptable. So far, the only thing that appears to be out of line with what's considered acceptable here is your ranting little baby-fit and the fact that you can't seem to move on from it. My advice is that you get over it.

Having done a fair amount of HDR with multiple images then tonemapped vs tonemapping of single images, I realize how difficult it is to do full HDR on images with waves or other large areas of things that can't line up from image to image over a span of 3 to 7 images, even with the anti-ghosting abilities of today's HDR software. That's why I guessed these were NOT actual HDR images, but were instead tonemapped from single images.

Please note that I never said I dislike tonemapped single images, nor that I think it's somehow "wrong" to do that. I don't care what people do to process their images. To me, all's fair in that department.

Now then... You don't have to agree with my educated guess, nor do you have to like my assessment in that regard, nor do you have to be happy when people decide to have conversations about things on a discussion forum without your permission. But as an adult, you DO have to live with all of it and are expected not to have baby fits over it, so chill out and move on.

here here...pretty much what i would have said if i could have been bothered to. Its not big or clever to rant at individuals online, especially when they have no idea who they are yet still demand respect.

"*shakes head in disbelief*
but there are way too many people on this forum who try too hard to appear too clever.
There is a whole section for debates like this where you can willy wave to your hearts content.
JEEZ"

There was no need for any of the above comments, they add nothing but hostility and for me that was the start of the so called "B1tchfest", I chose not to bite at many of your comments directed at me, but your online manner and the way you speak to people you know absolutely nothing about leaves a lot to be desired.

my apologies if you found my comments to be aggressive. That wasn't my intent. I was ill at the in between rushing into the bathroom to throw up so my apologies for being hasty in my tone.

the "suck it up, buttercup comment was both aggressive and personal. It was unnecessary and condescending. My objection to this is not a tantrum it's an objection to being talked to in that manner.

It was indeed a tantrum, and the "buttercup" comment was lighthearted, not aggressive, and no big deal until you decided to act like a toddler who got his sucker taken away over it, and that was because you didn't like being put in your place over the ORIGINAL comments that you've now strayed FAR FROM because you can't actually address them with any coherency.

Most intelligent people in your situation at this point would just STFU and let it go. Just sayin'...

Buck and Thereyougo - drop it now. If you wish to continue your private discussion continue it in private messages.

Good thing you stepped in when you did! A few more days of silence, and I might've forgotten the whole thing even happened!! :salute:
