Do you have to make jist of everything?

E.L.. Shapiro Loc: Ottawa, Ontario Canada

It is said that much truth is said in jest. U suppose to met "jest" not "jist" or "gist"???

What some find funny, others do not. What some find important, others may find to be trivial. Not everyone has the same perception of any given image. People can have different opinions, debate, discuss, and possibly come to some amicable conclusion or compromise or agree to disagree and still remain friends. This is a FORUM where folks can sit around a virtual table and exchange ideas and opinions and hopefully, not an arena for mortal verbal combat.

You don't seem to go along with some of these concepts and prefer instead to take to task everyone and anyone who does not agree with your point of view or opinion on anything. You are certainly entitled to your opinions and should be free to express them. You just seem to stimulate protracted, unpleasant, nasty arguments, engage folks in cussing competitions, and use character assassinations and name-calling when your arguments lose traction. You tend to pick apart every post and find picayune details to argue about.

I do not consider myself any kida privileged character around here- just a garden variety ordinary member. I have been on the forum for a long time and have seen some unpleasant posts and arguments in the past but never with such frequency and intensity. Perhaps some folks find this somewhat entertaining. I find it detrimental to the forum.

I apologize for any sarcasm or perhaps my droll sense of humour. It's just my coping mechanism that I employ instead of cursing, yelling, and insulting people. I will try harder to avoid your threads and posts and leave it to others to engage with you.

_____________________________
SO IF YOUR REMARKS ARE NOT DROLL HUMOR, and you are going to correct the photo and send it to Facebook, kindly show us your improved result Shapiro. I am anxious to see it and many others more serious here are likewise---those who actually answer the OP's original question--here on a technical photo site.-------

______________________________
And furthermore Shapiro---I resent your crack---assuming it was aimed at me---that I have been "cursing, yelling, and insulting people." Yet I REFUSE TO TAKE SOME SNARKY TROLL's taking my photo---re processing it, reducing the file from 3000kb to 9kb and saying it is full of defects. Maybe you just smile and say there are more opinions than one and take it. But I highly don't think so. So I will call out those who need calling out and not simply by passing by such underhanded snarkiness. As for you---you keep threatening to avoid any threads I make comments in--yet here you are again. Have I insulted you? Have I cursed at you? have I yelled at you. All the above have been leveled thus far on UHH at me as well as putting up my personal information in replies and suggesting a psychological defect. Should I level such back at you? I have not done any of that. But I will not take the late night snarky trolls without a reply. Or your "holier than though attitudes."------------

OldSchool, put down the shovel and take a deep breath.

OldSchool-WI Loc: Brandon, Wisconsin 53919

So, srt101fan, would you merely take a deep breath of Shapiro call you out as "cursing, yelling, and insulting people." Would you?-------huh, I bet not.------

Like yourself - I find I learn something almost every day. If not, it's because I slept through it.

Your comments are both noted and most appreciated

________________________________
Correct:----This is a site for analysis. And the image regardless of how dear the message is a very poor example of the photographic technical art. That is fact. Questions of camera and venue restrictions have not been specified and should not be guessed at. One UHH wrote ["User ID wrote:
Altho I can see all the pointless nit picky issues Hogsters love to point out, there’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with ANY of those pix. Such Hogsters have no eye at all for photography, only a foolish hang up on tech issues. Many of the best photos I’ve ever seen exhibit noise, distortion, and color shifts. I’m not overlooking your “issues” due to journalistic constraints. I am referring only to aesthetics."]------So---go to an artist's blog UserID. ---This is a photo blog and photography is a craft with tools and hopefully a more perfect "product" after learning to become a photogapher like a craftsman. The topic, once again is what is wrong with this photo.

A photo doesn’t need to be perfectly flawless to be really perfect.

Wide angle lens and they could have dialed back the fill flash a little. Nothing terrible though.

Bridges Loc: Memphis, Charleston SC, now Nazareth PA

Yes, but it makes her smile nice and wide!

None intended, guess you are just one of those sensitive type of people we all love. Hope you didn't lose any sleep over my reply? Have yourself a very wonderful day.....

BigDaddy Loc: Pittsburgh, PA

Yeahbut the OP "asked what's wrong with this picture?" Doesn't matter if his camera fell off the tripod and accidently fired in a wind storm, or it was the first picture the photographer ever took or he just didn't care. The answer to what's wrong with the picture is a lot, not nothing. The circumstances and purpose under which it was taken was never the issue, nor even mentioned.

I find it amusing people are falling all over themselves trying to explain why this far less than "perfect" picture is perfect.

BigDaddy Loc: Pittsburgh, PA

Purpose and intended use never entered the OP question, which is in the title of this thread.

You want to make up intended use and purpose, go ahead. Can I make up intended use before answering the question?

Perhaps he intended to present the picture in a photography class for students to analyze everything that's wrong, or maybe enter it in a photography contest because he thought it was "perfect?" I don't have a clue what the intended purpose was, but I know there is a LOT wrong with that picture.

BigDaddy Loc: Pittsburgh, PA

By participating in the "nonsense" you are part of the audience.
Yes the success of this forum depends entirely on volume of "clicks."
This specific forum is for anything related to photography, and it would seem "what's wrong with this picture?" is photography related.

Well yes a 90mm lens would be great if you happened upon this scene with know one else in the foreground and you were standing 30-40 feet away. But this picture was most likely taken up close with a wide angle because there were tons of people within a few feet of the group. It also appears another photographer had their attention to the right. You use the best focal length you have for the given situation.
