Photography less about skill

Using the Race Card? When all logic is lost and you have no valid argument, use the Race Card. Your protest is frivolous and has absolutely no merit. There was no mention of race in any post, except yours. Again, you've taken a point and turned it in to a ludicrous argument. You are now beginning to sound ridiculous.

Ted, when someone plays the race card, it is the hallmark of someone who has no argument or substantiating facts. There was absolutely NOTHING racist about your comments. This guy is just a troll and is worthy of someone who should just be ignored.

If I were using this image to showcase my abilities as a photographer, I would be mightily embarrassed. The bear is in the dead center of the frame, with tons of wasted negative space on both sides. It is also taken from a viewpoint looking down on the subject. This looks like something my daughters take with their cell phone when they were in their early teens. Now compare and contrast this image I took of a common housefly. No auto exposure, not autofocus and multiple manual flash in a light tent using a reversed 50mm lens on a bellows. If you want to be able to compete with the big boys instead of talking nothing but trash, you better get a much better game. And get some humility too, becase no one likes a jerk.

Oh wow you have no idea what is going on this thread have you? That photo isn't mine why don't you start at page 1 and read from start to finish.

Typical troll, has no clue what is going on or what's being said. My photos are on a different page. I was asked to give an example of a photo with bad photographic quality but was lauded by Dave and that was photo I shared and even you agreed it was a bad photo.


lol totally back fired on you.

THAT is a quality photo of interest and good mechanics. Very nice work!

UmarPK could do that with a pinhole camera in his sleep.



And then he would wake up and realise it was all a dream.

You don't need many technical skills in photography, you just need to learn how to use the camera properly and effectively. Although I never boasted my technical skills--I'm a new photographer. We would hope you with your decades of experience would have technical skills to change ISO, time intervals. exposure, shutter speed, lens, and how to press the snap button.

It's apparent from the many posts here that you have a very simplistic view of a very complex art medium . . . photography. It's not clear why you started this thread except to rile other members. You are set in your ways and really do not want to hear other options without resorting to personal and professional attacks. Everyone is entitled to an opinion when respectfully presented. Since you really don't want any input on your opinion, you should perhaps in the future just write a blog instead of posting a thread.

Anyone with ANY experience in making and selling photos or related services understands that SKILL has everything to do with it.

I believe this thread has run its course and I am closing it. Some of you need to use the "ignore" feature of this forum, and future personal attacks will result in bans.
