You are being charitable to call my post business advice.

Badger, are you a moderator here? It's up to them to determine what is off topic. My understanding is this is a sub forum in the off topic area, which means the definition of off topic is relaxed.

off topic means look at the original question asked and focus on that, not the side chatter that has taken up 1/2 of the thread.
I didn't ask for peoples advice on if my work is deemed good in their opinions, I didn't ask if said work is worth me investing into a MF, and I didn't ask if I should buy a Nikon instead of an MF. I'm not picking on you personally, and my response with your quoted post above it was not meant to single you out. All I wanted here were some answers to questions I had about MF cameras - thats all. If someone here other than the guys who have already posted the info/knowledge they have on the matter has something relevant to say about that topic, great I am all ears. However, if we are going to go as far as critique my work, or say it's undeserved or not worth the cost having never used both formats - it's all side chit-chat that just clutters up the real info I am after so please excuse me for not entertaining it and trying to stay focused on answering the questions I originally asked. |

But you don't need to come off as douche on this forum; Its an off topic BMW thread in the photography section; Not everyone is going to be deemed a professional on these forums. If you want posts on your thread to be more relevant to what you're asking, why don't you just go to a photography forum??? Also, I never said you don't deserve better gear. Anyone can use whatever they want. You can do whatever you want with your money, it affects me in no way. I was just trying to be a supportive photographer trying to give advice to people. I've come across people wanting to switch to MF when they can get the work done with a DSLR. Jeremy Cowart Primary uses a a 5DII, & it works for him. Zach Arias loves his Phase One and that works for him. Joey L likes to mix and match between the two depending on what he wants. With what I saw earlier (before I saw your new website) was work you can do what a DSLR and I gave my 2 Cents in hopes that it would help you but you take it in such a negative way. What this industry needs to learn is some manners. Too many photographers hold their heads too high with their nose points up at the sky like the world revolves around their "sophisticated" choice of a career. Get off your high horse and learn some manners. People are only trying to help and you think you've learned it all. And just saying sorry for sounding overly defensive doesn't make anything better. If it sounds harsh, that how it sounds. If you didn't mean for it to sound that way, then rewrite it. Photographers today are two faced. Polite to their clients cause they are looking to pay the bills... Dicks to the rest of the world that doesn't know them. Its sad to see what the industry looks like. Quote:

and further more how the hell have you seen "my newer site"? I'm not putting any of this info out there. Are you stalking me? EDIT: nevermind, I see where your confusion is taking place. That is the studio I work for, not my work personally. What is on their site was there long before me however that is the caliber of stuff being shot daily. Quote:
But you are right, not everyone is a professional, I didn't think that it mattered if they were at this point. I was hoping that if they didn't have any info to weigh in on the question they would either read and become informed along the way with me or just keep on moving past the thread. Quote:
"being a supportive photographer" usually makes you look like the same snub nosed jerk you refer to below when it's not asked for. I have no issues saying I know I am not perfect. I hope I am able to get better every time I sit behind the camera, but I also know I've got a lot of recent experience this year and a piece of paper that says Bachelors of Fine Arts on it which means I'm good enough to some level at doing this so I am confident in my own skills thus far. I don't need validation on an internet forum of any kind to feel better about that. And again this is the problem, you offered your 2 cents subjectively on my situation as a whole (granted using some misinformation) instead of focusing on the question that was asked which was purely technical/informational at its roots. Even if you were properly informed, doesn't mean your advice on my purchase should have included what you think of my work. Quote:
WAY too often people on these and other forums display 2 horrible traits. 1. They can't take a critique when they are put in that position by showing their work or entering a contests or whatever. I am 110% all for defending your work because sometimes you can have a great image but not everyone gets it - a photographer should take from that and try to use it the next time they go out to convey a message more clearly. 2. They offer their advice/critique too much or at inappropriate times and try to pull someone else's work down, thinking it will then lift them up. I've been put through critiques 2-4 times a week for the last 3 1/2 years. When someone just plane old doesn't like my work, it honestly doesn't bother me. What it does is makes me think what can I do to get better. The is no snub nosing there, only a constant search for personal growth. However that being said, if someone tries to tell me they don't like something without being about to back up their claim, yes I think they are full of shit. Quote:
That being said, in the grand scheme of things, I don't really care who you are, what you do and if you like me or not because you're just another name among thousands of guys on a forum who's opinion probably doesn't mean much anyway. The ones that do, I will continue to rely on for help and offer mine to them when asked. Are we ready to lock this one up and move along now? Last edited by UdubBadger; 10-18-2012 at 10:15 AM.. |

Consider yourself lucky that I just came back from a one-week hiatus then. Time to catch up.
