Hate speech.

Apparently tdekany has nothing better to think about than me.
Should I be flattered?

I like it too! I sure wouldn't discard it.
It has a really nice soft look. (If the rocks were sharp, it
would detract from the water motion blur, IMHO.)

I really think that's a good photo, mudhen. So far as I can
tell on this monitor, it has good contrast. It would make
a good print.

BINGO!!! IMHO, shooting film, especially with fully manual cameras, makes me a better photographer, because I have to really think about all aspects of the shot, including how I want to develop and print it, before I push the shutter release. Shooting digital, especially my Fuji X-T2 (or any MILC with EVF), I can get great images quickly and with far less thought (and work) as the WYSIWYG EVF has a histogram in it, so much of the manual process is just done for you. Sure, you still get to make the DOF/shutter speed decisions if you want, but you can also be lazy and still get great shots. Want great Wi-Fi-shareable shots, pick a film profile you like for the shot and, wala, it’s on your phone ready to share. Try that with film.

So, when Nat Geo required submissions to be chromes, they were shooting to low? They had some dang good pics in the rag.

Bipod

Was that before or after National Geographic was purchased by Rupert Murdoch's Fox media?

Of course, I don;t mean to imply that Rupert Murdoch isn't a scientist, a geographer or an explorer.
He's better than all three: he's an owner.

I heard that all animals pictured must now eat red meat.

Currently, Nat. Geo. does not accept any unsolicited photographs for publication.

If you've been comissioned as a freelancer,, then presumably you know what kinds of subjects and submissions are acceptable. Pray tell?

Yeah, like Ansel Adams, Paul Strand, and Edward Weston were reallly concerned about "having a shot on your phone and ready to share"
(with all your little Facebook followers).

You can mix KoolAid instant beverage and have it ready-to-drink at any time. Oh boy! That's soooo high-tech! And sooo convenient!

Get a life. If you were any lazier, you'd need an iron lung.

Dude, you are easy to wind up.

I never said I shot for Nat Geo. I listened to a podcast with a fellow who shot for them for a long time and he mentioned that back in the film days, he had to shoot & submit chromes.

Nat Geo, back in the day, certainly did their own processing, including cropping and color adjustments before any photo made it into print. At least I don’t remember getting any 2x2 slides inserted into my issues. It’s physically impossible to reproduce the range of a transparency in ink on a page.

As far as we can see, you don’t take any photos.

Which would make my snapshots superior to your nonexistent shots.

If you think, that your narcissistic behavior is anything special, I have news for you. You aren’t special.

You post so much bs, that you don’t even remember what you write. You indeed claimed several times that miniature formats can’t take sharp enough photos.

Go and crawl back under your rock. It is the end of 2018. People are taking award winners with Sony, canon, Nikon, Pentax, Olympus, Panasonic, Fuji gear. Using zoom lenses.

Lastly, we all know why you don’t have any photos posted. They have nothing to do with your ridiculous excuses. You are simply not a photographer.

You could have shot everyone up with one of your imaginary photos that is superior to what is being produced today with smaller sensors.

Here are 2 real photographers, with 3 Pulitzer price wins between them. Guess what they use? M4/3. Imagine that.

Now do you understand why all that your write on this photography forum equals COW MANURE? It’s a waste of time.

These 2 men go out and produce quality work. Their work is posted on line. And guess what? The photography world didn’t come to an end.

You are a wannabe armchair expert on a photography forum. Do you not see how pathetic you are? Compare yourself to these 2 real photographers.

They are letting their work do the talking. What do you do? You talk. 😂

I get that you are trying to be some sort of authority, that you crave attention, but like every other narcissistic before you, it will backfire. You will be gone soon.

Very typical. People with narcissistic personality are very easy to read. They are always right and we are always wrong.

Just read his reply to you. If I were to write that very same posts to him, he would be all up in arms about it. If I were to then point out to him, that he wrote that very same post, he would never address it.

They are very easy to read. What is funny is that they all think that they are special and unique. But it is the opposite. Unfortunately there is no cure for it.

And here I thought photography was fun.

Indeed it is, but once in awhile you get a bad Apple fall into UHH. It is temporary.

You are a funny guy.

What do you think this reply of yours is?
