Whitejon, get over it already dude. Your making it into a bigger deal than anyone here, the original poster included.
"Don't go running back now saying you weren't slamming the picture, knowing you could have done so much better. Some of the initial comments were way off context, and it was offensive to the poster"
I dont think anyones saying that. The shots were crap, are crap and will continue to be crap if you ask me. Im not chaning my opinon and I certainly hope no one else is either. The OP even stated later in the thread that it wasnt a very good shot. Other people posted some better shots, people realize that the kit lens works alright, though I still dont think many people here were saying that. DPR is the land of "if its not L, its not good" but here people are opening minded. We focus, pardon the pun on producing good photos, not the " I have more L's than you so I'm a better photog" club.
"I'll respond with my comments about this any time I am able, as the purity of the forum depends more on keeping snobbishness and offensiveness out than it does on censoring reactions to such"
Im sure we all need to give Jon a huge THANK YOU for protecting the purity of this forum. Sorry man but thats the dumbest thing Ive heard in this fhread.
Look man, you've been here long enough to hopefully know the general attitudes of this forum. If you think its snobbish or offensive then Id suggest you go find yourself a nicer forum.
If anyone new thinks its snobbish or offensive your welcome to go somewhere else too.
I'll tell you this though, this forum has one of the best, most supportive, honest and helpful user groups of any forums, anywhere, no doubt.
Seriously folks, if your intrested in IMPROVING your photography and getting some honest feedback, this is the place for you to be. I'm never going to sugar coat it for you, hold your hand like you were a little kid and say what you did was great, stroke your ego and tell you a bunch of lies if you dont deserve it. I expect everyone here to treat me the same way. If I post a shot that needs work, you all better tell me. I count on that feedback each game I shoot so that I can take those suggestions and tips into the next game and produce better shots.
If you do something nice though I'll be the first to congratulation you on it though and I'm confident thats how everyone else here feels as well.
I'll promise you all this, you may not like the constructive critisim right now, you might not like to hear that your DOF is wrong, you have a color cast, the compostion is bad, etc but down the road, when your producing some fine photographs and you look back on those shots, you will say "my god, did I really thing those shots were good ?"
I challenge any of you new shooters to do that. Make a folder, put your 10 best shots that you have in there and dont look at them for a few months. Then go back and look at them and see what you think.
