The point, Joe, is that Jason is arrogant, rude, and considers everyone who is not him to be a fauxtog. His stuff is OK – I’ve seen better, I’ve seen lots worse – but his work does not justify his attitude. Hell, nothing could justify his attitude.
OK, I’ll pony up a few . . . . . http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artists/jetpix Have fun.
jetpixParticipantOne blind, delusional wannabe doesn’t change anything either . . . .
jetpixParticipantThere’s the pot calling the kettle black . . . . .
jetpixParticipantSo, Jason – looks like you are outnumbered on the WB issue. Quit being a jackass – then maybe someone will take you seriously.
jetpixParticipantToo warm? Jason – have you calibrated your monitor lately? Nothing there is too warm. The colors are pretty good – if anything, I’d like to see a few of them pumped up a bit – but that is personal preference. Overall, Id’ say they are pretty good . . . . . .
jetpixParticipantWhat?
jetpixParticipantLike the original baby basket photo MUCH better . . . . .
jetpixParticipantJason –
I disagree. The mockery is the domaine of the web owners. Rudeness is never correct in a forum such as this. If you can’t be civil, don’t post.
jetpixParticipantFor the photo linked (and several others on the maternity page) A little washed out for me. I would drop the exposure comp -.03 to -.05 and/or saturate the colors a bit more . . . . . With that big sky, you are backlit – the sky is washed out, but so is everything else. It’s almost as though you overcomensated for the backlighting.
jetpixParticipantI have no problem with the space at the top. It’s not necessary to fill every pixel with subject – perspective is just as important. I would just like to see it pulled back a bit, and panned down to show a little more of the stuffed animals . . . . .
jetpixParticipantCute –
The yellowing does make it look a bit retro (and is softer and more acceptable in this shot) – like the little kid shots my dad took of me in the ’60;s. Almost kodachromish . . . . If you are going to have the stuffed animals in the shot, don’t cut off the head – either have it and show it, or get rid of it . . . . .
and, BTS, FYI, IMHO, if you are asking, then no, you are not a fauxtog. Fauxtogs don’t ask – they don’t care. They don’t want to know, or learn anything, or do anything decent . . . . . .
jetpixParticipantTryig to be constructive here . . . . .
I see 4 things.
1. Colors. Did you intend the yellow cast? Gives baby a jaundiced look . . . .
2. Some of the highlights are a little blown out.
3. Can you clean up the drool on the chin?
4. The blade of grass cutting through baby’s face is a little distracting.
I otherwise like the composition –
jetpixParticipantJoe –
that’s rude – not a good start to the forum . . . . .
jetpixParticipantHi –
I’ve been a professional for 30+ years, and am a former college photography instructor. Switched to digital in 2010 – so still learning the nuances involved – but happy to help with any questions . . . . .
