Photography - You and your Camera

[DarrenToogood]

They are resized indeed. I think I would have a bandwidth issue if I tried to upload images 150cm in length!

No offense but your a "snapper"

[DarrenToogood]

I am not a snapper :s

A snapper is someone who takes quick images, does not use a high tech camera, no iso setting, no white balance etc etc. I have a professional camera kit, and I go out on photo shoots, have use of a studio and im a member of a club.

I am not a snapper. The only time I am a snapper is say if I am taking pictures of my family on holiday, but then again the other times I would be taking scenic pictures, and stock photos.

Ok high tech camera, I am using a quick snap camera for half my photos I mean look at the cat one that wasn't done with a high tech camera, just because you have a kit that is expensive doesn't mean you can use it or justify you can use it. ISO settings on so you know what they are, doesn't mean you know how to use them I was looking at your sunset images, you stood behind a tree lowered the ISO and then you took a pic, it's purely edited in photoshop and the trees are darkened via photoshop you can tell because the black is pure black there is no texture to it at all for example if you look at my horse one, you can see some texture still in it that was via ISO, white balance well that was just a patient example in it's self.

I would have to disagree with you there... iStock seem to like my photos.

If this is a 'snap'...http://www.darrentoogood.com/view.php?id=36 - then maybe you should go here www.specsavers.co.uk

I hope it helps by showing you the difference between a snapper and a photographer.

Or you should stop being so lary

Darren, how come you seem to think you are now a 'professional photographer' aswell as a very 'successful' business man. You seem to aim to top everyone else, and in all honesty, the majority of Dave's shots are a great deal better than yours in my opinion.

Im thinking of heading out tonight and doing some lighttrails...

For lighttrials, is flash needed?

Not exactly a good advanced photographer, are you :rolleyes: The whole point of light trails is to capture trails of life with long exposures and NO flash... Otherwise you'll get cars, no trails (because a flash would coincidently make the exposure fast) and you'll get reflections for the car headlights and metal work which won't share the headlight trails at all...

Let me explain the difference.

A snapper:

A Photographer:

I'm sorry, but that's the biggest loads of toot I've seen... ANYONE can be a photographer and if that is photography slang, I've not heard of it nor seen it anywhere. Your snapper photo is done by a photographer, he/she doesn't have to be professional or non-professional to take that photo, it's just a photo, nothing else...

You're no professional photographer, if you believe your photos are professional. Photography is an art form, which can be done by anyone on any sort of photo taking device, be it mobile or D-SLR.

I love these photographs:

At Dan: I honestly do not seeing anything particularly special about a picture of a flower with a small depth of field. I can see your photos being okay for iStockphoto or something but I don't really see them as particularly arty or creative, nor would I expect to see them on a higher class of stock photo site, such as www.veer.com

Darren shut up for god sake.

You think your the best at everything.. your probably talking a whole load of crap and you think your better at everything than anyone.

Don't say you don't, because you do. End of story.
