Niepce - 1826
An ultimately doomed attempt to interest the Royal Society in his process -- which he called "Heliography" ...

So to all of you I gave 1's and 2's my comment is "throw away your camera, give it to someone as a gift, sell it, whatever". |
Kiwiness, jacko, jmsetzler, heida, and yes, frumoaznicul... you have all received a 1 vote on your photos at some point. Good thing you didn't follow this sort of advice. ;-) |

Your right. It was unnecessary to name calling. I appologize.
But I don't agree with unnecessary, unhelpful comments like that. I became a member of this site with hope of expressing my own creative views.
So far i've learned that in a free study, my creativy will be critised unfairly. If you dont like the picture, you dont have to rate it. |
Why not vote if you don't like it? If I don't like something I give it a 1. I have given many 1's on DPC and many 10's

Perhaps, we should post a challenge asking for submissions of classic photographs which are not our own, just to see what the voter does with them and to read the comments?

I wish I had done that. I really intended to. I wanted to enter a photo that truly expressed my own asthetic and yet somehow I wound up entering a very nice photo of a hard to dislike subject. The irony is it isn't doing so well anyway and has only engendered two comments so far (of course, I've only commented on two of the Free Studies myself so far, so I can't complain).
I like my entry, it just isn't representative of any kind of personal style which this challenge should be for. I feel like I cheated myself. Next time, I enter what I really like, not what I think will score better.
Some have already seen this posted on another thread but here are is the one I first entered, then withdrew. My fear was comments like, "who ya gonna call?" and "okay, it's a phone..." or one of the "show me something interesting" rants I've recently read on photos with mundane subject matter.

I've actually wanted to see something like this. Favorite works of master photographers on DPC. |

PS since you checked my profile I checked yours too, and I noticed on your images that almost any negative comments no matter how constructive they are are unhelpfull. For example in your "walking away from the light" a shot that scored really low, someone tried to explain what he saw wrong with it, "Just too blown out to really get a feel for the shot." It's curious why you didn't find that helpful since you said you are here to learn. |
To be fair to Kev, I left a fairly negative comment on this shot and he marked helpful. I think the difference was I went into some depth with a few sentences. |

Thanks Melissa,
The comment that frumoaznicul was talking about i hadn't read (i Don't think). I mark most comments as helpfull wither i agree or not. It is good to get feedback about what other people like.
I hate getting into arguments about comments. I think this should just be one big happy community.
