Of course, you can't expect a detailed feedback from every Lugger - in any case you will immediately know if your photo is ok or not statistically - a yup is better than delte/ignore if you see what I mean- and among the answers you get, there's more often than not a hint or two to be decoded that will help you produce better or more acceptable pictures next time, or right now with a crop or an adjustment here or there. Well, this is my experience at least. I hope this will comfort your idea of posting pictures more frequently. Don't be shy ;-) Happy image hunting Doc Amities Philippe Tous vos emails en 1 clic avec l'application SFR Mail sur iPhone et Android - En savoir plus. ======================================== Message du : 08/02/2014 10:24 De : "Leon Pomeroy " <drleonpomeroy at verizon.net> A : lug at leica-users.org Copie ? : Sujet : [Leica] On Commentary Continued Sue: Thank you. At the moment I'm traveling about Florida with my M9, Fuji X-Pro1, GF2, Canon 40D, with long lenses, and spending time at Punta Gorda with a friend and co-author. I'm temporarily disconnected from the LUG for two weeks. I think what we have here is a stick of conceptual/aesthetic dynamite without a spark, and your expressed interest is just the spark we need. I want to learn what others, more proficient at the art and science of photography than I am. We're talking about the sort of feedback that would help me most. As you suggest, one's "intension" in the moment admits to degrees/levels ranging from fully unconscious (KISS Spontaneity) to fully conscious (PLANED Spontaneity), with degrees of ease when it comes to verbalizing and sharing that moment with ourselves and others. In any case, I suspect both KISS Spontaneity and PLANED Spontaneity can be enriched by soliciting feedback from others aware of both our intention and result. I'll be shooting in Florida and thinking more about all this. May I suggest you go first and thanks! Dr. Dr. Leon Pomeroy, Northern Virginia, USA _________ "I would welcome more information from photographers about their intent and feedback regarding how well they succeeded, suggestions for improving if they missed the mark, etc. I also realize some photos don't have a lot of intention behind them - people sometimes just record something interesting and share that. I so some of both. I'm willing to share some photos I made with intent and risk being vulnerable to feedback that I failed in order to improve my photographic communication skills. Dr. Pomeroy, do you want to go first, or shall I? :D Sue" _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group. See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
