Some of my last photos taken in 2011 (Non Christmas)

[LightSpeed]

Why do you keep posting then????? you are RIGHTThe people here are MORONS!!!!!! I honestly just stay here because I feel sorry for them. They are are useless piles of garbage with no sense, and the camera work is a joke!!!!! I've never seen such drivel in my life!!!! My 4 year old sister could take better photos then the unsightly work of Cgipson or LightSpeed. They do not know photographic prodigies when they see it!!!!

They NEED people like us.... it gives them hope one day.... something to strive for.....

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........PG put a like on this. lol
I nearly fell out of my chair when I red this.

Did you read PG's post to my chastisement of Naptime? You should!

wow, your finally seeing the light cgipson1, what a miracle. I am trying but no one wants to read what I have to say and just skip to the photos. Descriptions help with photos but too many people don't care.

oh dear.
PG you finally opened Gipsons eyes. I never thought I'd live long enough to see the day.
Thank you for this. By golly you're right. IT'S A MIRACLE !

I am now thinking about just posting some of my photos below in a gallery under a thread with no C&C asked for just so people can see the work and I can move on without all of the circus.

It gets better!
The only thing missing are the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders.
I for one want to see these photos.

Ballistics, I tried that already way back when and this circus keeps happening so now I am doing something about it by just going to do a gallery and quit asking for help here since so many people want to call me dumb, inexperienced on All subject, not wanting to learn, etc. Then I will read the books I have and seek help from a pro photographer that I know.

i love that my 16 year old daughter read a few of the threads, and then asked... "wait.... this guy is REALLY 31?!?!?!? and.... he's for real?!?!?"

later, while driving down the road, out of the blue she says "so... seriously, that photo guy, that's forreal? that's not just someone joking around?"

and she's sixteen !!!

her first day on the board, her first pictures posted, someone flat told her they SUCKED. her response.... "thank you for the honesty"


16 vs 31 really????


PG every person you claim is so mean, has offered you help and advice.

you are right you haven't learned anything... because YOU have no desire to learn.

you want to be cuddled.


you want HONEST c&c.... here you are... this is 100% true story from this evening....

i opened this thread. i saw the pictures. i spent 20 minutes trying to figure out what was wrong with my monitor. i couldn't get the brightness or contrast correct, the trucks were so dark i couldn't see anything. i went into my device manager to check my video card driver. i downloaded the latest driver. installed it. rebooted. came back to the board, and they still looked the same. i was about to go into my color management, when i realized i had to make a doody. so i grabbed my touchpad and went to my office. i hopped on the board, and holy crap (no pun intended since i was don the business at the time) the pictures looked the same on my touchpad. so, once the corporate meeting was over, i came back to the desktop and checked, yep, still cant see anything but red circles. left the thread and proceeded to check 4 other threads. yup, all photos look fine. yay!! so my driver/card/monitor aren't screwed up afterall.

THEN i started to read the thread....

Almost 3am eastern time and your thread has 10 members viewing, and has a continuous flow of negative posts. It's safe to say that you are the hot topic of the week photoguy. Do yourself a favor and just take a couple days of from posting. This way the heat will be off of you, and the animosity against you will die.

we know you are not inexperienced. you've been doing this 20 years.
no one has called you dumb. that would be mean. please point me in the direction of the post where ANYONE called you dumb.
accused you of not wanting to learn... DING DING DING winner winner chicken dinner !!!

Well, PG has certainly started 2012 on a very entertaining note...

Ballistic's ... I told him that several times weeks back, a week back, days back.... no dice! But I am sure he appreciates your concern... I know I do!

At least one person has already told him that, twice. I doubt that he will listen.

 

[photo guy]

I plan to seeing as I just posted the pics somewhere else on the board and not on this thread anylonger. Now at least I can say I can show off my work and be proud of myself at least that I like what I am doing and for whom. If no one likes it, I don't really care anymore as this has gone on far too long.

 

[photo guy]

hay naptime, i got it in a pm

 

[cgipson1]

wow.. 176 posts in this one! I am amazed!

EDIT: 179 at this time!

 

[LightSpeed]

I thought he ment about the subject being the book of information I have explaining the subject of fire photography. I am sorry if I took that wrong. I thought the book of info and not the photos to compare. Again I am sorry.

you should probably read that book. a few times.

when you finish, here are a few more you should read.

how to win friends and influence people. - dale carnegie
the greatest salesman in the world. - og mandino
think and grow rich. - napoleon hill
the prophet. - kahlil gibran
illusions. - richard bach
johnathan livingstun seagull. - richard bach
stranger in a strange land. - robet heinlein


that's a just a few on my shelf. you NEED to read these books.

not only will they do YOU a great service...

but they will also tie up a bit of your time, and the rest of us will really enjoy that.

DUDE... you got some GOOD books there.. not bad for a Former Wannabe Marine! ......................................................................................................(running really fast and ducking!)

:thumbup:

Gipson, you might want to take a look at his picture on this avatar.
He's big, bald, looks like he benches about 450lbs, has a menacing goatee and a look that says , " I wreck shyt when I'm pissed" and probably runs about a 5 second 40.
You have no chance of escape.

The only thing missing as I imagine this,,,,,,,,is he Official Fire photographer capturing and under exposing all the action as Naptime lights your ass up.

lololol
