My dear Nightski, Indeed I did read your post and by now I should be applying my training in special education techniques and not reply replying beyond the minimum to your comments. My apologies for not recognizing the problems and replying more skillfully.

If you had read your own post you would have seen: "The light here is mesmerizing. I can't say I have the skill to do this, but it would be what I would want to shoot for." This quote implies or infers (slight difference in word meaning) that there was a hint of an inquiry by you regarding the techniques used in photographing glass bottles. Sorry for my misinterpretation of your, so I thought, clear statement. Additionally Nightski, it is not all about you, tho others consider you ego-centric, I never have. My comments on techniques were aimed to all reading this post and viewing the "Mesmerizing" photos. There are others who may read this post who would benefit from my comments or add to each others techniques and comments of their own. Clearly that would be a mistake if they were to read the OP correctly. Again sorry, but my interpretation of UHH is that we share techniques again, I must be mistaken or misshapen in my view. Rather it is to vitriolic, but I think not. I take a positive view of UHH people.

In the future if you only want kudos and admiration for your posting... add the phrase "positive admiration comments only .... please, no details" thus your ego will gain with out technical changeling. By now I should have learned, again I apologize for inserting technique in an OP that just was your comment and directions to view. A find you amazing indeed you will never change, a sign of strength of character. Nothing will change my degree of admiration for you.

May I mention that you did not reference :
http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-149340-1.html in the OP! only in your reply to my comment. Sorry I failed mind reading 101.

You may reply to this if you wish but you are on my not watch list....poof, gone. What a waste of time.. I apologize to you and myself.

At the risk of being long winded, I'd just like to add one more thing. As a new photographer, who is starting to get a good shot now and then, I am not sure if someone that gives me compliments is just doing it because they are scared not to, or if they really mean it. It's kind of like giving all the kids a trophy or a ribbon at an athletic event. It takes the great moment away from the child that really earned it. That doesn't mean we can't encourage the children who didn't earn it, but it's not right to tell them they "rocked it out" when they didn't. It robs the winner, and it discourages the drive to improve.

My post to Nightski was in response to her statement, which I quoted, and seems to be misinterpreted. It was an attempt to explain why some may not appear honest when commenting on photos, namely, because they have not been asked to critique the image, therefore do not.

Nowhere in my post did I refer to Brent nor to any critique Nightski did or did not give to him. So I have no issue with Ms Nighski, nor did I have.

So perhaps it is you, Up-To-It, who needs to tend to his own business and give some thought to what others have said prior to butting in. Have a fine day. 8-)
