 p.3 #16 · New Sports Photographer needs Critique | |
I want to adress the Paul thing from my point of view and things that were said in this thread. Myself personally it dosent bother me on how he approached my thread with some of his comments as I have thick skin. But I can tell you why I see people responding to his comments. Its the way he came off sometimes, I felt its was with some attitude, like whatever, you removed that pic im outta here. He responded to that while I was still reworking my pictures to make them smaller, I wasnt finished yet when he wrote that, computer froze up, and I had comments on my thread before I was done with what I was doing. The other, when he saw my pricing, and to come after me about acting professional. Im new, to all this, in my area, we dont have any action sports photography, just T and I, and only one place does it, and I work with these people who print for me. I asked them what they thought about me doing this, and they are all for it, I told them the price I thought about charging, and they said its a good place to start, and they are supporting me and encouraging me. Like I said, I'm new Im getting all the information I can, it just seems I seen alot about people like me ruining the industry and all that, but I dont think people like us ruined the industry. Thats tecnology making things easier for people in all facets of life, not just photography. Things are changing everywhere, and its not gonna stop, in all levels of jobs and work. Ask a mailman how he feels about email. I do however think, when someone else that is new reads this, and maybe dosent have as thick as skin as me, or my attitutude where I can just let stuff roll off and it dosent bother me, it might discourage them from posting pics on here, trying to learn, and they might just quit photography all together. It is intimidating to some people to see a professional come off like that when I made some mistakes. Maybe in the future, try to be more positive when critiquing, this board is for everyone whether they are doing it for a hobby, or want to maybe start up a business and see where it goes. Like I said, myself I'm ok with it, beacuse I'm gonna learn one way or another, but you might be discourging someone else who is reading this and wants to get started also. On a positive note, this is a great forum, best I have seen so far, and Ive read alot of them.
