Thanks for posting my photos, and calling them "cooked" after getting caught with your pants down.

I guess the following pics were also posted tongue-in-cheek:

You even took his title.

Looks like you are an avid peruser of this thread in Red Flag Deals:

Seems that you were such a big fan that you decided to start a similar concept here.

I don't mind people reposting my photos, but a credit would be nice. I was going to let this slide until your lame "a tongue-in-cheek dig" defense came up.

Not sure how long you have been doing photography, Nothing wrong with post processing. If you shoot RAW, you have to post process as RAW is an unprocessed image. Just a new slant on dark room techniques. JPG is lossy format and don't give the quality image you would get from RAW or the latitude for exposure adjustment and Canon don't save as TIFF. It is hard to get a perfect image straight out of a DSLR due to the limited dynamic range sensitivity of sensors at present. I may get one or two, but not many in a high range scene. Even with full frame and 21mp sensor, colour saturation is good, but it still struggles with dynamic range on occasion and requires some adjustment.

With positives (slides) we used to sandwich, negatives and Cibachrome would be dodged and burned, cropped and all sorts of other techniques. The purpose, to make a pleasing image, for the photographer or client. We all have different ideas of what makes a good image, some look natural some don't.

In a previous post you said you use Photomatix, yet you don't like 'cooked' images, Photmatix is HDR software, to 'cook' images. This is post processing.

There are some inconsistencies and backtracking here me thinks.

Also read rule 7 about posting copyrighted material. You may also want to become familiar with copyright laws and photography. Just because it is on the Internet or no copyright assertion is made (which it was in this instance I believe) does not make it fair game.

I don't mind you keeping the photos intact, again I don't mind the reposting.




Thanks, a posted a hello message here:
