Observations about displayed pics in Photo Gallery
This discussion is having a sad ending. We should remember for many, I don't know how many and who they are, that this forum is as much a place for connecting with others as it is for photographic discussion. Why would we talk to others via our responses in a manner that we never would to their faces?

We raised horses for many years and when someone showed me his new horse, thinking it had a fantastic gait for showing, BUT I thought its gait was not good, I'd simply say "That is one beautiful horse" and just not comment on the gait. If it was not beautiful (almost all horses are) I might say, "He's nice and healthy looking. Someone certainly too good care of this one" or "what a beautiful shiny coat he has".
Same thing with photos. If it's OOF you can still say "Sweet puppy" or "Beautiful flowers". That doesn't mean it's got either, sharp detail or blurry. Just means the subject is nice.
You can always find something nice to say about anything.

Jo, I would like to recommend that you go to Youtube and enter Red Steagall The Bay It is about how we all can see things through different eyes and how we can be wrong.

I tend to read all of your posts from a negative point of view. Sorry but that is because you come across with negatives in your replies to others. You point out people want an attaboy but I haven't seen anybody who is like that. Of course we all would like positive attention toward what we submit rather than negative but that is only natural. You like positive feedback yourself don't you?

For you to continue posting BS on people who make a mistake on what section the photos should go to I hate to think of you losing sleep contemplating on who might make a silly mistake in parts of the rest of your life taking place. God forbid you should go to a drugstore and find a bottle of 100 aspirin mixed in by mistake where the bottles of 500 aspirin should be. God forbid someone at the post office put a neighbor's mail in your box by mistake once a year or, GASP, maybe even twice. Oh the horror!!!!! People are human beings and as such they/we make mistakes. How unkind of you to make the biggest problem of all over such a simple and common error.

Wouldn't it be good if those of us who wore red caps would show the same consideration to those who wear blue caps and conversely they would show the same consideration back our way. The best way to change the world whether it is politics or photography is to start with ourselves and not the other fellow. I think that you and I both have basically a kindly outlook toward others, but there are others, who will remain unnamed, who could work on giving some other folks some slack.

We need to read the Admin's rules for the forum. If you want critique, ASK FOR IT. if you give critique, include your rationale. You can find guidelines on-line for judging photos. We had guidelines in our photo club. Knowing them is very helpful in judging your own photos.


I remember a few weeks ago that you expressed some frustration on your part that your photographic abilitity, as.
felt by you, was not improving as you would like. I wonder if your experience in that exchange informed your response in this discussion. I thought there were points made in that series of replies that would also apply to this discussion.

Is it just me?

I forgot to mention, I’m 75, and I have never had a cell phone. Have never seen the need. And I’m probably the last with a land line. My phone is to make and receive calls.


I have a land line as well and agree that the cell phone has become an intrusive part of modern culture. But when you are out and about, it is comforting and convenient to have a connection with the home base. Yeah, I know that we used to get along with out it, but we also walked and rode a horse.

So I found that missing canyon

Thanks for looking and I'm glad you liked them. I have wading shoes but when it's cold I try to stay dry, which doesn't usually work. Rock hopping is fraught with hazard. So I have old hiking boots that still have good soles and I wear warm socks underneath.

Generally I don't have phone service down in the canyons but I am sometimes surprised by a text coming in. Nothing I can count on!

When I get home from this trip to Florida I'll be back in those canyons and sharing photos.


Watch out for those gators.

Snow Draped Milk Can
You know, this is a great shot. I like the way that it somehow seems to show movement, like if you looked away and looked back, it would be closer.

One at the Table
Voss, this is a great image. I like the way the back ground forms a canvas and frame for your image. I also have a question for you and other people reading this. I think another potentially great image of this scene would have been from in front of the man but at the same angle of this shot. My question is, if you had approached him and told him what you wanted to do and asked his permission and also asked him to hold his same pose, then would the resulting image moved from being a "street image" to being a "portrait

AI Crucifixion
Perhaps the concern was not getting sidetracked into religious discussions and getting sidetracked seems to be a common occurence on this forum. Maybe the idea is that if there less back and forths about religion, politics and other social commentary, there would be a more concentrated discussion about the actual process of AI and even its implications. This should be stated clearly in the rules, but of course there are still those damnable "shades of gray"

Hey SW, another great series. I think my favorite image is # 4 of the big pool and little pool. On this forum it is natural for folks to ask photographic questions, but I',m wondering what boots or shoes you are wearing when you're out there clambering around all those wet boulders and navigating those cattle trails (watch your step there). I have also wondered about whether you have cell phone coverage down in those remote canyons. Thanks I enjoyed these.

Nice shots and story line.

Having hiked terrain like that long ago, at 78, I will leave it to you and others. Thes days, my idea of rugged is more like a crack in the sidewalk or graded path in a park.

Now if it had a trail my street legal mobility scooter could do, that is a different story. But first I would have to get out of the city into the countryside or the mountains surrounding the LA basin.


Whether seated or a foot, it is good for us to be outside, weather permitting.

You don't mention what type of film you want to develop. If it is B&W, for a modest investment in equipment, most that can be obtained cheaply on local craig's list you can process your own film and maintain control.
You also don't mention if you have ever shot film before and what you are intending to do with these images.

As I have been shooting and processing my own B&W and color film for well over 50 years, I'm loathe to give up the control of the image that I get from self processing.

Besides, half the fun of shooting film is getting home from a photo shoot, processing the film and seeing your images that day and not waiting around for a week or two for the film to get back from some iffy processor.

If you are serious about learning to shoot film, I'd suggest a great forum for photography..."Photrio" You can learn everything you need to know there.

You're are absolute corrected about processing and developing your own film. This same approach also appliles to many other areas such as changing your own oil or raising your chickens for both eggs and meat.
