AVB,
The thing is, there are many phases one needs to go through to
become a better photographer. In his example about water, that is
how many photographers learn about exposure and movement.
Challenge yourself there, and you become a better photographer.
Although jacques probably means well, and sometimes has difficulty
expressing himself in English, I still found his comment to be
condescending, and it annoyed the he!! out of me. This is a forum
for growth and learning photography, and that is not the kind of
feedback we need. No one has a problem with critique, but only of
the photographs, not one's ideas.
Agreed but I take no offense at all since I deal with people being
like this all the time. I noticed that Jacques is from the
Netherlands which may be why it doesn't bother me. My family is
dutch and we often speak this way to one another and the tone isn't
meant to be offensive in any way. In any case, the meaning behind
the words is more important than the tone but I can see where
people might not like it (I got busted for a similar thing way back
when)
Regarding your plans, I'm sure you have interesting things planned,
and I look forward to seeing them.
You know, Bella Attacks is going to turn into you nemisis (that's
not quite the word I'm looking for, any help?). You will be known
for that photo forever. Of all the photos I've seen on stf, that
is the one I wish I had taken the most (of course, sub one of my
dogs ;-) )
I am a little worried about that now that you mention it. It is my
favorite shot of all time and I have taken many similar shots but
never one that had had such a mood with it. Hopefully I haven't set
everyone's expectations too high so that everything that I do from
now on will be a disappointment!
