Photographer! Do you want to avoid an overworked edit in order to obtain golden portraits with sunrays and lens flares?

Shooting against the sun is challenging, however three factors and a bit of practice can easily transform your backlit photography. Read More

You wouldn't like to apologise for completely misrepresenting a factual account, which wasn't even addressed to you.

I haven't misrepresented any factual accounts, I have no idea what you're talking about.

amjamjazz:

Or for making damaging implications about my working methods, which a cursory glance will show to be lies.
Not a pretty picture.

What have I said about your working methods? What lies? What have I said about anything you do that could be damaging?

You're the one who has criticized everything I do as well as my photos, not the other way around.

I actually complemented you on your photos.

Classic case of projection here, like most of the insults in your earlier posts.

amjamjazz:

Stick to taking pictures of cameras. They always do what you tell them. Unlike people.

I buy and sell cameras for profit as a way to pay for my film and developing. Camera photos make up a very small portion of my photostream, I have 4700 photos posted and a few hundred are cameras so I don't understand what that has to do with anything.

I don't tell people what to do when I take photographs, I guess you do?

I was hoping for a coherent response to things I actually said, not just another strange string of insults about yourself.

It's like you aren't even trying anymore. I'm disappointed.

Like to rephrase this over-hasty, derogatory response? Especially as it seems you were the one traumatised into submission by a bad experience.

Not at all. It wasn't hasty or derogatory.

I caused the bad experience I had by shooting a flash into a drunk woman's face at night. I wasn't traumatized at all, especially not into submission. I thought the whole episode was quite funny. We laughed about it for the rest of the evening.

I see you are ignoring everything else I said though. Right on.

You did say this though: "I think you should temper your outbursts before people start looking and comparing for themselves, don't you?"

I think plenty of people have looked at my photostream

You've been traumatized while taking "street" photos so that's why you have this opinion now. No matter what anyone has said you've told them they are wrong and they can expect to be screamed at, punched, kicked, stabbed, kidnapped or arrested.
Just because that's happened to you doesn't mean it will happen to everyone else. I really think you owe some people here an apology.

Show us some of your intrepid, fearless street photography as I asked before. I think you should temper your outbursts before people start looking and comparing for themselves, don't you?

I'm sure this isn't what you're looking for, but here are some photos I actually enjoyed taking.

Portland Pillow fight a few days ago.

I love the different reactions in this one

He totally caught me

These three people didn't even notice me

Filming the Real World

Probably the closest photo I have of a stranger, this was with a 38mm lens

Happy stranger

Troubled looking girl

I just like this one

Pirate (obviously)

Shooting the shooter

Beerfest

Not really street I guess

This woman was actually pretty unhappy with me after I took this, even threatened to call the cops, a simple conversation and she was pacified.
