So, There and many interesting posts wherein seemingly good questions are posed. Some are requests for technical help, troubleshooting problematic issues in an image, asking for advice on many aspects of photography. Then, the good, generous and helpful folks on UHH respond with a wide variety of answers- mostly logical, some are "spot on", some are debatable, a few maybe, putting it mildly, kinda inaccurate, and let's forget about the sarcastic and nasty responses because they are in the minority.
The helpful folks, then swing into action- they post advice, supply links, give examples of editing corrections when requested, supply diagrams, engage in arguments, review equipment, and collectively supply a pretty decent body of work for the OP to research, mull over, put into practice or just say thank you and go away.
I am not keeping statistics but I get the impression that many OPs never come back, a few say thanks and almost none of them report back to update us. It ain't mandatory but it would be nice! It would be hearing t read "I did what y'all suggested and it worked"! or NOT! The ones that tend to get my goat is " "Waht y'all suggested is too much work and I'll just keep doing stuff the wrong way" kinda thing. The worst ones are they deced to apply the worst suggestion of the lot. You know "I'll just take that idea from Mr. Mechanic about cleaning my camera with turpentine and lubricating it with axel grease- I have some in the garage"!
Well, it ain't really all that bad but y'all know what I mean!
Some folks will describe a problem, glitch, or defect in an image, in several paragraphs but do not post a (stored) file with EXIF data. Did the not ever hear the expression about one picture is work 1000 words- you'd think- on a photo forum!
The attached image could have been a typical but challenging question: "See, I was shooting my Cousin Matilda's wedding and all the pictures had a strange colour cast- what did do wrong and how can I fix it? The bride is launching a lawsuit"!
Well- there ought to be a law but there ain't gonna be one- anyone has any ideas?
I am not complaining and I am not disgrunteled or discouraged- just thinking about stuff in a perfect world. Just changed my brand of coffee- too much caffeine!
