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

You all want info here it is.

HAHA FUNNY VERY FUNNY

I did go out this fall with the park photos and when I did post the retakes most of if not all of you said I didn't listen. When I even listened to the advise as to label photos and list what I did with each, no one was satisfied. When I answer a specific question once, that should be enough and not have it kept being asked. I should not have my skill level bashed for what I know but instead be kindly guided (some of you don't know what that means by the way I feel I am being treated) (I guess since I was raised to believe being nice and treat those how you want to be treated doesn't apply here that goes against me too) These are some of the issues that I feel have gone on here and have kept dragging on and that is why I am so sick of many of you. When I do my dept scene photos, I have certain regulations that I have to follow and certain guidelines as far as what photos to take or are asked to take and I am trying to learn how to do some of them better with what I have due to my limitations but no one here seems to get that. If this doesn't help you with what you want for answers then I don't think you want to help me and please let someone else on here try. Thank You

1. If you're sick of many of us, don't let the door hit you on your way out.

2. Stop making excuses. People have been telling you over and over on how to get better.

3. P&S doesn't change composition, angles, rule of thirds, etc. You have control over that.

4. Feel free to report this as being rude and bashing. What a hypocrite. You reap what you sow.

Oh for crying out loud, please everyone stop showing this guy attention! He is a drama queen who is seeking attention and nothing more. And here everyone is stil giving him the attention, I once had a girlfriend who did the same, she was a drama queen who would do anything to get attention be it negative or positive attention. You know what I did... I ended our relationship and ceased contact with her! Time to end all contact with photo guy as he is thoroughly enjoying all this attention being heaped in his direction.

I mean for crying out loud, he is posting photos that are poor and then is claiming to have done photography for twenty years. Am I really the only one who smells a RAT????

Sorry but your retakes had mostly the issue that your originals had.

That's why you got the same advice. You gave previous advice little consideration judging from your posted results. A number of us myself included have told you again and again to go and read then practise and then show us your progress. You again have ignored that advice. Your choice. It's my belief that you appear incapable of listening to people and heeding their freely given advice. This advice from experienced photographers would cost you $000's if you did even a weekend course. My 11 year old nephew with aspergers shows more restraint and politeness than you. He also listens better. That's really a big endictment on someone of your age. Hell, his 7 year old brother is going the same way if not worse but can show appreciation.

You are spoiling the atmosphere on here and are hogging assistance that might go to people who will listen and act on advice. It's put up or shut up time. You have had many kind offers many of them shown little or no gratitude. I really shouldn't have to speak to a 31 year old like a child. My belief? You don't want to learn because you can't take the knocks and bumps that learning requires. Stop concentrating on the bumps and knocks and work through them if photography really is a passion for you, you'll find a path. Please stop C&C other people's work until you have at least a basic grasp of composition and exposure. You put yourself into negative equity on the credibility scale by doing so. Yes I'm being firm and I won't apologise for it. Honesty is nearly always the best policy and that honesty sometimes has to be brutal.

I know! I soooo want in!

Ditto!! I'd LOVE this have I told you I love you and those damn spiders lately rofl ::sexy wink::

How frickin rude! Lightspeed like black rose like mtvision have been rooting for you trying to help! Lightspeeds offer was super super nice! And you totally ignored. For Christ sakes get over yourself and stop posting crap til you have improved and applied what WE all said! I'm done. Tried to keep my mouth shut but didn't feel like it anymore.

Well I know of at least 10 that won't help because of all of this going on. Too bad to. Here I am wanting to learn and even DID follow some of the advice to start with so I can take it in steps and end up getting shot down by the majority for doing so. Thank you for time wasted. Thank you for not really teaching me anything since it just really how to be rude as that is what I have seen the majority of not only on this thread but on most of my threads. How hard is it to be polite and try to help as compared to rude and not help? This site is far from perfect then and it's no wonder why so many leave having learned nothing instead of staying and helping after learning something.

I think you have learned more than you think you have.
For instance......let us go back in time. Let us go back to the time you went to the zoo.

You came back here and posted an image of a cougars butt , through an acrylic pane.
I'll never forget that " thread of the year candidate."
Most memorable was the member who posted something to the effect of " I stopped reading after I read the part about Cougar butt."

I bet you won't do that again. See what I mean, you learned something there.

And then there was the illustrious thread where you couldn't figure out how to post images, that went on for several pages.
About 10 members tried to point you in the right direction, who you all claimed were bashing you. On about the 3rd page you finally figured out how to post images.
So you see, you learned something again.

You're learning more than you think you are, here.

I do find it sad too that there are real photos for CC from people really trying to learn on here that have 4 or 5 replies and this has 84. I posted some beach photos earlier and got a grand total of 4 replies. Not bitchin' how no one replied, just making a point how unfair all the attention these threads are getting.

 

[LightSpeed]

Will you offer it to me?
I do love you!
Even more now because I love that printer and no longer have access to it since schools done! ;-)

I want you to love me for my mind, and my stunning good looks. Not my printer!

I know! I soooo want in!

Oh boy..............another one.
I thought you were married?

hahaha

The advice here in the forums and any other forum, with no offense to all the great advisers in here, can't and never will replace the guidelines of the books. Here's my suggestion:
Go grab a book about photography. Read it ALL and when I say read it I mean take your time to understand what you're reading. Follow the exercises, with camera on hand duh. Compare your photos with the ones in the book or the experts in here and see if yours can have a chance. Once you achieve ALL OF THAT come back and impress us.

5+ pages ... dude attracts a crowd, you can't deny it.

photo... go search for posts by me with the words "night photography"... there's one with a skyline that has some good overall tips for these night situations.

You can also cheat a bit and just try exposure compensation if your camera has that.

You may recall my advice was to fade into the shadows for a while.

See what happens when you don't? 6 pages of responses, 75% of which are picking on you in one way or another. Until you go dormant and quiet, this won't change. Less posting, more reading. Less showing, more looking. It's the only way out of this.

But hey, why listen to me? I've only been here for 6 years and have nearly 7,000 posts. I'm clearly making **** up.
