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

I already have shown some improvement to myself and posted the work on this exact thread explaining it and was told boldly it was crap. That to me sounds like it is not liked and also not welcome here.

You are an *amateur*. Unless they're a prodigy all beginning artists are going are going to have weak skills for a while. You're taking critique too personally and will get nowhere unless you learn that a negative one is not an attack on you.

Well, I guess that means you'll just have to do better.
Doesn't it.

My offer stays open until you show quite a few other people that you have truly improved.

By that I guess you mean this whole damn board.

I think one of my problems is that my main area is a specialized photography that a lot of people don't have the knowledge or background in. I have a 3" 3-ring binder full of the info I utilize and need to know to do it and am succeeding. If I wasn't doing something right in that aspect, I wouldn't have even been published in a magazine or the paper 2 times this year. Now I want to expand to learn other areas and have used some of the advice already only to be accused of not listening to anything and not learning or willing to learn. Please, if that is what is wrong then correct me. Thank You

But how are they improvements?

And I would like to know where you were "boldly told" they were crap.

I saw "bad pix, underexposed, no composition...." Hmmmmm.....I think you have magical reading skills and can read things we can't.

They are a few pages up from the bottom

I was also told this in a PM today

Besides that, I don't have time to stalk you. I'm too busy BEING STALKED by about 4 women who are very good looking.

;P

One of my goals that I set myself was to get some nice night shots of the trucks at the scenes like shown on this thread but without having the headlights showing so much light that it drowns out the photo. I have had it happen a lot and I deceided to start playing with my setting when doing this and try to get a shot that I liked where I actually captured enought light to make out the details of all of the lights (where you can actually see them instead of just white on most of the photo) and believe that I actually succeed it this time as I think the trucks actually look nice this time. Now I have to work on getting them more centered next time when doing it. Photos like this were actually asked for by the chief and that is why I am trying to get these nice shots and since he has asked me if I would start to submit more in the trade magazines. Some of my photos are fine for this but there are some that I know need more work. That is why I try to post some here so I can get help but end up with nothing.

Could you post some of these? I'd be very interested in seeing them.

 

[photo guy]

do a google on it. I don't feel like uploading hundreds of pages to argue this again

That's pretty rude... he was going to offer advice on how to make them better (if I know tirediron!) and he is someone you should listen to! He KNOWS his stuff!

...I deceided to start playing with my setting when doing this and try to get a shot that I liked...

That says it all right there. If you're playing to get a result, you need to study more. A LOT more! Someone skilled to a level that most of us don't have the knowledge or background to understand would look at a scene and deliberately apply the appropriate settings.

I may have to go find some fire trucks!
