| I agree. There are far too many images of pesky no good smallish type beasties from the nether regions of Hell. Far too many. And on the same theme, what about all those dogs, and cats, domesticated or feral - don't they just make you sick. And what about shots from Zoo's and safari's - so repetitive. Pass the bucket. And don't get me started on birds - quelle horreur!!!! Bridges? They make me bilious. Piers make me puke. Viaducts are vomit inducing and Sunsets are sick central. Lets all get together on this one and ban them all, and anything else anyone may have a slight aversion to. No one signs up to have their eyes assaulted by all this guff and stuff. We should all seek to expand our photographic horizons, perhaps in the manner of the author of this thread. With great technique he has shot an old car, quite static, in a nondescript urban setting and added a quirky title that implies a certain nostalgia. Many would say the shot has little merit - but what do they know? Its not so easy to take a shot of a parked car AND append a nostalgically apt title. So lets dispense entirely with the Macro Landscape and head out into the streets to shoots all those old photogenic rustbuckets and pretend to ourselves that our work has merit. Woo-Hoo.

Well I'm not sure why did you take my post so intimidating Glynn, but your pompous response assured me that this community is something else that I expected.
Too bad because the idea behind the site seemed to be quite interesting.

Glynn is just trying to have a little fun!!! . YOU THINK? Perhaps, I need to borrow your Rose Colored Glasses and give it another read... It seemed a little mean spirited my first time through. WE

Pompous is scoring Macros with a 2 and leaving "lacking interest" comments!
You ought to go out and try taking a few Macros to give you more of an appreciation for the difficulty involved in taking such shots then maybe you wouldn't be so quick at insulting peoples work.
Of course you are entitled to your opinion and to score as you see fit but neither is likely to be respected! Though you probably expected that too!
If you want the rainbow - you gotta put up with the rain.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel sooooo good!

| My response was not at all pompous or mean spirited. It was a response targeted at the author of this thread solely intended to demonstrate, albeit in a condescending and somewhat satirical way, what an obvious *** he was in making his ill thought out comments about the macro category. It seemed to me that he was saying that anyone indulging themselves in macro is wasting their time and energy because the end product has no real merit???? . Wright, I'm quite surprised that you choose to side with this Jackass. I'll take no lectures from anyone when it comes to supporting the integrity of any genre. The guy who began this thread is the mean spirited one, or else he's simply loco. Recall his words. . "I'm really sorry to say but it's really nauseating to go for a voting session just to get dozens of macro photos of insects and flowers and a few more insects again.
I've just joined this site, the idea seemed to be original and interesting, but this macro-photography pest seems to be taking over the whole site.
The horror, the horror.." |
. Is this description of a voting session correct, or is it a pile of manure? Whenever I vote my experience is very different - I see random images from all genres. Should I pull my punches for the sake of political correctness or whatever to allow a cretin to air his distorted views with impunity - I don't think so.
