I think I'm going to stop re-editing pictures...
|
Up until now I've been going back and either further editing or completely redoing the post-processing some of the photographs I've posted here based on the criticism. I'm beginning to think it's counterproductive. I think I'm going to start just accepting the flaws and moving on. It just seems that at this point I have more to gain out of constantly working on a new piece than overworking a previous one...
Thoughts?
PS You all need to post more. I don't like seeing my name on the front page so much.

You can only go so far with editing. Take more pictures first. 
I took my 10,000th picture yesterday with my camera. (Around 4k with my old camera too though those are mostly family snapshot type pics.) I figure that means I have almost 50 semi-good pictures to work with now.

And I'm glad you post here, it used to be me appearing spammy.

I like you. Mostly because you keep the asshattery and trolling (as well as the legitimate differences in opinion) on some topics separate from other topics. Many either can't or don't...

I dunno you are probably a good guy and someone I would have a beer with, but we seem to rub each other the wrong ways most times. Regardless, of all of that, I still like your work and believe you have talent.

Thanks. Always good to get unbiased critiques, especially the positive kind.
Though I think a lot of the friction is exaggerated by me mostly trolling and arguing for the sake of arguing on ACF...

Pretty much as it is a damn cess pool but, alas, it is the only place left on VN that has a number of posters (VN is just dieing for a few years now only IGN will not pull its plug).

ACF aside (I'm pretty sure lurking there qualifies me as one of the real crazies  )
I have too short an attention span to over edit, thankfully, or I'd spend hours just on one photo. I'm very grateful that my lack of patience has a stronger hold on me than my OCD
I've FINALLY started editing and cataloguing all my photographs properly, it's going to take months, but it needed it. Just on my Canon I've got over 3k to go through, then I'm going to import and catalogue all my old snapshots from the last 10 years... uggg...
