This guys work blew me away

God bless the ignore list.

Ah finally, a nicer thread.

Yes but no more excitement either

I think you all need to take a breath and relax.
It's ok if someone disagrees with you. Really, it is.

yes your right... there is no problem disagreeing with someone if you make a considered and polite response.... unlike...

Why you gotta be a prick like that?

You, sir, can sit and spin.

Keep adressing people like this you will get banned... this is not the forum for personal insults.

What I did mean to infer is that a person who splashes a big "signature" across the side of their photo is not in fact attempting to protect their artistic or intellectual property. They are stroking their own ego.

Now to your point... this may be true of a minority of people, but for the majority, you are wrong. I design and sell logos for a living, all the proofs i show the client have 'property of...' at the bottom... this is stroking my own ego too?. It is to remind people who owns the artwork up untill its sold. Yes they could find ways of getting rid of it... but it is certainly there as a deterant, not an ego stroke.
Judging by this guys work.... not the best iv seen either... but he definatly should be using a signiture on it.

I screw up often enough without your help, thanks. :lmao:

For about 2 seconds, I thought I would make an account called JerryPH-Springer, but decided not to fuel the fire.

There are small things to crit on his work, but man, that guy's PPing is nicely thought out.

Yeah, this is true. It's also true though that those photographer's whose work is truly outstanding wouldn't let something as minor to fix as the flaws I pointed out earlier get by. Particularly when it's obvious that he puts a good deal of effort into his PP work. His work doesn't do too much for me... sorry. I have seen much, much better. I appreciate your thoughts though. :hug::

 

[JerryPH]

Just goes to show... no matter how good you are, there are always people that can do it better. I use that mentality as something to help me strive for better results over time.

WOW.......................................

I just asked a simple question and it seems I have started a storm. Some of you guys are real cut throats, give the guy a break. I like the guys stuff and many do. It's OK for you to not like it but there is no need to portray him as a sinner just because you don't like the techniques he uses. Every have your own darkroom? Every dodge a print, use a PC filter, same thing, it's called creativity, enhancement. There is nothing wrong with it and you don't have to do it if you don't want to.

I see nothing wrong with his signature on the prints and I can see no reason if someone creates a piece of art they shouldn't have their name on it and be proud of their work. When I see something I like I want to know who did it, compliment them and maybe talk about how they did it. ( I have since contacted the guy and know how he does it now, thanks to his name on the work) Where would we be today if none of the great painters had signed any of their work. You have the option to move on to someone elses work if you don't like it.

I’m new to this forum and I can’t believe the negative vibes some here are putting out. How about looking at his work with a positive view and if you don’t like it, unless you can be constructive, just move on to the next topic, OK?

I'm sure it's in response to cloudhand69 who seems to be a noob in every aspect of the term. (Nothing wrong with that till one starts spouting ignorant garbage about someone else's very nice work without so much as a hint of capability of one's own.

Not my cup of tea, they remind me of boring $10 art prints at the local mall. Great technical skill, but not a whole lot of imagination--I feel like I've seen every one of his photos a thousand times before.

Can we see your work?

 

[roadkill]

I don't see a link under your profile but you sound like a great shot... whatcha got there sport?

 

[ANDS!]

Can we see your work?

If I haven't seen your work, how on earth am I supposed to know if your opinion is worth listening to?

How many movies has Roger Ebert done?

Wow. This place never ceases to amaze with its mob mentality. Seriously.

As for the OP, the authors work is good, but I agree the watermark is tacky. I love Doyle's work and his watermark because it is wonderfully integrated into his photos and does not take away from the impact. That swirly text is just - blargh, takes a dump on a great body of work.

As for the Volunteer Mod Squad - get over yourselves.

Who says Roger Ebert is qualified to critique movies? He's an absolute moron with no taste whatsoever. (Sorry if he is of signifigance to you) Just because it's on T.V. doesn't make it real.

 

[roadkill]

Doyle does rock, by the way...
