I'm sorry to interrupt...but I'm in Kent here. Could someone please tell me the direction I should be watching the sky tonight in order to spot his mother ship?
Ta very much.
We need to identify the species first.
This is the greatest thread ever....
Ok I have a composition I want to consider.
Imagine a middle-aged man with a brand new camera standing in the middle of a reasonably busy public park. He's wearing sunglasses and screwing up his eyes as he looks in various directions through a black cardboard frame that he made himself. As he does so, he is humming a kraftwerk classic to himself -- "We Are The Robots" -- in a bid to empty his mind of all thought.
In the background a police car has pulled up near the entrance to the park. A policeman is talking to an innocent bystander who, with a concerned expression, is pointing towards our middle-aged photographer.
If anyone thinks that's anything other than pure art, they shouldn't be fiddling around with cameras.
Thanks Damien. Welcome aboard. I tend to do the more serious academic stuff in the afternoons so feel free to visit tomorrow when we will be moving on to look closely at one or two examples of good and bad composition.
Oh but he is...just imagine his posts in the voice of HAL 9000 and it all makes perfect sense.Best thread this month. Gorch is a very naughty boy. Certainly not any sort of photography messiah

im just not sure which previously banned member to check first....
..please folks, ignore function for now, and David, dont get sucked in, i know you like a good debate and all but dont get wound up
You guys do know that a Gortch is a boil that Klingons develop!
I intended to make a statement to the community of readers that I thought was both important to myself and that would have been important to others.
I regret to inform you that I will not be doing so. I am considering my options and leaning towards withdrawing from my responsibilities here for good.

Something has been niggling away at me. There's a nagging familiarity about Gordon's style; a distinct similarity with a style I've encountered before.
Then it hit me -
Has anyone here heard of Pincho Paxton?
...truth and reality and what really is.
No more chameleons nailed to logs in countries they have no godly right being in, no blurry plants being celebrated, no cheating in photoshop, no fake wildlife shots from zoos, and no snobbery. Just innocent child-like excitement about the truth and reality and what really is.
Welcome to the world.
Without proof I dismiss this.
There's something wrong with teh way you write. Bad acting comes through in writing as well as voice and body language. I know bad acting when I see it, and I'm looking at it right now.
You're all free. Free to be you. That's right. Free to be different, to be honest and real.
Crap shots of woodpeckers? Not going to include that?
Show us your work. You're very quick to dismiss other styles of work... so am I if truth be told, but at least I put my money where my mouth is.
I'm utterly convinced you're a troll, and as such have earned my disdain, ridicule and utterly deserve the assumption that you are completely devoid of talent and experience, and are in no position to be suggesting anything to anyone in this forum.

You are not a worthy debate opponent. It would be like kicking a kitten.
Have a good evening.
Dismiss cg girl's full stops but don't dismiss her photography. She's one of the few people who stand out on here and I mean that absolutely in all seriousness. I'd actually put one or two of her pictures on my wall and I don't even like English countryside pictures.
DAMN right - and that is why I will continue with my little snap shots, soft or out of focus or badly composed or whatever else people think of them!
My truth may not be your truth or anyone elses truth, but I will embrace it for what it is!
I love blurry plants and I love the fact that no-one but you would consider nailing a chameleon to a log and I love the fact that you consider a little banter to be some all consuming flirtation. I love your silly little comments because I LOVE TO LAUGH.

. If you can do it naked without laughing for five minutes you enter the hall of fame.
Thank you!

See Sam now he wants you to dance naked - I did warn you about his motivations yesterday
Has anyone here heard of Pincho Paxton?
If that were true it would be a perfectly reasonable and natural motivation. Oh, you're so sophisticated that you defy gravity now. Where's the humanity in that pre-fab excuse for a personality you ended up with?
She is indeed a talented photographer - and you've just confirmed my suspicion of who you really are
Troll step six - realise that you are on a loser and everyone is laughing at you , resort to personal insults (step 7 is get unmasked by the mods and banned)
As it happens I save my humanity for those that deserve it - trolls are beneath contempt
