Hi Gareth Yip, the quote panel in white thanks

Hi Guys, I seem to have gathered a 'quote' panel on my comments window, how do I get shot of it? thanks Ron

Fair comment! you caught me at the point of throwing the laptop out the window..... with frustration! Best R's

Ron

I don't mind purchasing a prog. the problem is that it wont open up picture folders it seems to do it at Random and stops responding. I have tried re-installing the software and have down loaded the latest version but still the same problem. Cheers Ron

Does anybody know of a good raw processor for the Pentax raw files as the one that Pentax offer is just garbage. Ron

Hi guys, Doug, Pentaxophile, hardgravity, Anvh et seq, really like your shots and all the constructive chat! I think its opened up another world for creative pics thanks! with best possible regards Ron

PS I have even learned how to spell 'Lens' for the 100th time....

Well! I am surprised at the response and I am glad of the comments, at the risk of being a right bore, I have tried to explain my 'feelings' in wee bit more detail, so here goes;

Expressionism: Any method that stresses the artist's/photographers emotional and psychological expression, often with bold colours and distortions of form.

Impressionism: Any method which tries to reflect an interest in the experience of light and colour on objects, which made colour more importnant within the photo/canvas and its effect on the subject.

I can relate very closely with some of the B & W shots but havoing spent a lot of years developing and printing B & W prints cause I couldn't afford to print colour! they really have to catch my imagination.

Anyhow I hope I haven't upset any folks with my ramblings, and yes this is the best photo site by far!

Best Regards Ron

Hey guys I do love the site best one around, and I also enjoyed your comments regards Ron

Thanks HG and Terry I couldn't agree more, Oh! my education procedes me! however while I agree with people wanting to have the best quality pics technically, we need to back it up with the best ideas! and results. I do agree with your perspective on the B & W pictures Best Regards Ron

I can't understand the need to reflect on the lense type or quality used, In my mind stuff the lense or the fancy camera, lets see some origional expressionist/impressionist/ modern pictures/ black or colour, in focus or otherwise with some artistic flair. sorry for my rant but thats not what the photography platform is for its... a canvas like any other....Sorry and I'm no expert in anyway but lets have more origionality

Regards Ron

Now I'm done!
