I don't like it when Martin came on here and started to paint a negative picture of me not knowin' nothin' when he's already shown his ignorance in regard to the masters of this type of photography, and by jus' goin' through the motions, and attackin' me.

His first post was all over the place. Street photography doesn't have any borders, only those that surround the image.
Then all of you accusin' and assumin' me of not showin' any sympathy or concern for the subject, was so wide of the mark.
Maybe if you supported your image with what you were trying to achieve, like painting a picture for other people who aren't used to this type of work. This isn't having a go, just merely pointing something outHis first post was all over the place. Street photography doesn't have any borders, only those that surround the image.

You all seem to be completely happy only shootin' and viewin' flowers, birds and bees. But that is OK with me.
There are so many different aspects of photography and everyone has their own speciality. I for one love portraits and wildlife and like the content on this site, you though have a uniqueness where you are able to capture London (or any city for that matter) in it's "real" state.The image is paramount, and is a document.

Some people may not see what you see on a day to day basis, to some that can be quite shocking.
No you don't have to tell people what you do to get the shots, but it is obvious to me that you show respect to those on the street and you know how to treat them.
Keep up the good work as you do have a talent here

Now I am going to make a comment on your image and your website.
I grew up in West London, 28 years in fact, and although I really didn't like London (to crowded for my liking) I did in fact like the people and had a lot of respect for them.
It was very hard not to notice the homeless people and the downright rudeness of city folk ignoring and the general abuse that they gave both verbally and physically.
What I am trying to get at here is your photographs do, in fact, portray the lifestyles of those who live rough on the street. The image in question looks bad taste, but is in fact....Life.
Your website is very good and I will look more into it later.
Only thing I will say that might upset is that you have to take critisim of your photo's a little better than you do at the moment. I know it's hard, but that's how we all learn. Even the most experienced on this site are still learning from each other.
I am a professional and today I have learnt something from another forum.
Stopping here as I am rambling

I do agree with you on this, but sometimes things have to be pointed out there and then if someone finds a comment offensive...nip it in the bud.Seems to be getting a bit out of hand, I thought this site was about photography. Perhaps we need a new thread to discuss morality issues.

I would be interested to know why you find Mr Bugs opinions "pathetic"
Why are YOUR opinions so right and everyone else's so wrong, why is it so wrong or "pathetic" that Mr Bug should be offended by your comments when you yourself were so obviously offended by a bit of honest critisism, I think its time you apologised to everyone here for causing such a stir and getting everyones backs up, and think very carefully before you reply to this as you have already dug a very big hole for yourself, In fact I will now be very interested to see how many members continue to comment on any of your images.

Just to say that I did not want this to turn into a row Paulyrichard, I was merely saying that I found it offensive. Just for you to acknowledge that fact would have been fine.

I cannot possibly understand why somebody would shoot such a 'detail-thirsty' image with a format compression. It makes no sense at all.
Not to mention the noise in the Jpegs, which can be removed in the RAW files. The only reason the book says this is because when you open an image in ACR it will change the settings of the image to suit the best exposure. Jpegs will simplify the process, and the result altogether.
Ahhh Put like that hmmmm I take back what I saidI cannot possibly understand why somebody would shoot such a 'detail-thirsty' image with a format compression. It makes no sense at all.

I have not "attacked" anyone
If you do not realise what you have said then you are ignorant!

Not wanting to get into this arguement too much but I will say one thing. Jesus Christ, that is one hell of a 'holier than thou' attitude!
And Parker, I take offence from your statement.
Paulyrichard, I take GREAT offence by the blasphemy used above. One of the many, many things I like about this site is that there is no swearing. This is the first instance of blatant blasphemy I have seen and am quite appalled by it.
So before stating that you are offended by someones comment, think about what you say so you do not offend others.

Carl, just read that you shot the images for your HDR in RAW.
When I do HDR I always shoot in JPEGS
Also I don't alter the images at all, so they go straight from the camera into Photoshop to be merged.
To quote from one of the best books on HDR, The Complete Guide to HDR Digital Photography, (ISBN:9781600591969):
"as far as HDR Photography goes, the JPEG can be every "bit" as good as the RAW file. It doesn't matter if 8-bit or 12-bit does the capturing, as long as the full dynamic range is captured"
I can fully recommend this book to anyone, from those who are pro in HDR to those who are a total beginner and for those who don't like it, you may be surprised!
This is the only time I use JPEG's
It also means that you can get many more images on your memory card!

Maybe it's sheer luck but my images aren't noisy and I have always been happy with my results as have my clients.
Maybe I will try RAW on my next HDR image, thanks for the advice
