Well I've just arrived back to find all this, and as most of you are not aware of what has happened behind the scenes in the past few days with a couple of members, apparently from the same group, I'll just say that some of the comments in this thread are somewhat disingenuous to say the least. C...

Just a quick note about proper use of language: 50 years ago the discussion would have been exactly the same. And welcome back to our resident troll. Sometimes he's a business student, with textbook views on marketing; today he's an anthropologist. One day he might transmogrify into a real pers...

That's fair enough Karl, but it should never be destructive criticism. We don't want to discourage beginners unnecessarily, so when posting critique we should always say what we like about and image as well as what we think could be improved. There are very good guidlines to offering critique gi...

Phew! What a rant I've missed :shock: My forum is online 2moro and will have a very laid back friendly way with no insults at how people talk, speak. Just as it should be! Nice to know that Cloudhunter will be reserving the vitriol for just this forum and not his own :roll: :evil: @Don: thanks...

I too hope we can settle back into our usual good natured, helpful banter. I too went a bit far in this discussion, for which I too apologise. I hope it hasn't put too many people off the forum, especially newbies.

.....................and I appologise Martin if I went too far with my comments. Bob, there is absolutely no reason to apologize. So lets move on. As has been said before, WE are the forum, but no one should ever forget we are merely guests in somebody else's home.And therefore should behave acc...

On a personal note I would like to express my admiration and respect to John. Who..... as we all have witnessed, didn't have the most pleasurable job as moderator on this forum. Specially the last weeks..... It must be a difficult decision to take measures like you had to, and I can only imagine it...

A Fashion Shoot in One Day...The Process
Wow what a day, Just out of interest what camera and lens do you use on your photo shoots Ben doesn't always come back to his posts but I'm sure he won't mind me saying he uses a K20D and several Pentax lenses. He's one of the few photographers I know of who've actually made a convincing case for th...

Slide/negative out of a digital pic
When I had some made, admittedly a ouple of years or more back now, MicroQuiz did a special bulk rate of £1 per slide and Cavendish £2 per slide. We think the latter was worth the extra.

Why is Editing as Important as the Photo Shoot?
Why is Editing as Important as the Photo Shoot? I decided writing this essay after going through close to twelve hundred (1200) images this afternoon. Why? Because I want to share with you the importance of editing and how it defines what your style is and what your state of mind was at the ti...

Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax, Leica, Panasonic…or?
It will never be any different. Back in the 70's people argued over Pentax Canon and Nikon. Minolta did not seem to come into the issues? Aperture priority (Pentax ME) or Shutter priority (Canon AE 1). History repeats itself...... Regards

Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax, Leica, Panasonic…or?
I've recently bought a few books of photographers' work (Helen Levitt, Annie Leibovitz, collections from Magnum, LIFE and Reuters). It is obvious that it is artistic skill, and not equipment, that makes a great photograph. More than that, there are photographs which don't necessarily show great tech...

Checking sensor cleanliness
What is the best way to check my sensor for cleanliness, before taking my shots? Should I take photos of a blank sheet of paper etc? Do I focus on the paper, do I have aperture open or closed etc? Cheers!

Interesting BW conversion technique
C for me. There is more fine detail in the cliff faces, particularly the cliffs in the far distance. The 3rd picture looks smoother on my monitor than the other two. To get back to John's original image I think you have some lovely tones in the old stonework which would be worth looking at in a tig...

Interesting BW conversion technique
This may be a shot that's best left in colour, although the B/W versions are interesting. I honestly couldn't decide between A, B or C. Possibly some combination of A and C would work best. It's hard to say on an LCD monitor. Send me a three-foot-wide version of all of them on canvas and I'll let yo...
