Pics of the 7 with my friends again (240SX and 300ZX)12 photos

[sidewaysS13]

even though you shot in RAW the white balance is still very off. look at the color of the 240 in 7/9/10. some look very orange and some look very blue.

also try to keep those minivans, 350Z's and broncos out your background. the over all location and how the white balance is off ruins the pictures.

sorry if i was "blunt"

cars look nice though. i really like the black z32, ive wanted one of those since the 90's LOL

Why are you saying the white balance is off? Are you Mr. Annoyingly Obvious? Why are you telling 87 Turbo II to look at the color of the 240? Do you actually think he didn't see what he was shooting and then posting? Are your eyes superior to his? Perhaps your arrogance and ego are, which are not equal to your level of intelligence or capacity to understand the situation.

I say this mostly because you yourself claim to be a photographer.

Also, obviously the background was not ideal. It was clearly just a casual night out. But the shots were still well done, and the disclaimer at the beginning of the post wasn't even necessary, nor was his response to your comment.

You weren't blunt. You were showing your ignorance and conceitedness.

I am being blunt.

But anyway, awesome cars guys.

shut the fuck up.

i was doing nothing but trying to help, its called constructive criticism. if nobody helps you get better and push yourself further at a hobby you have you will never progress. i wasnt bashing him, i was just trying to help.

good job at using big words though, made you look real smart and stuff.

I wasn't saying you were 'bashing' him. I'm sorry you missed the point. I was saying you weren't helping him. Your comment was completely useless. Did you honestly think what you were doing was constructive criticism? If so, then what I said about your arrogance still stands.

And yet you're still trying to give advice like an infomercial...

Also, I can't believe you think I was using 'big words'... and 'stuff'.

ok, let me try this again....

shooting in RAW allows you to set a custom white balance in post processing, but his white balance was still very off, so why did he not shoot in jpeg or why was he not able to get the WB right since he was shooting in RAW? it makes no sense.

as far as the background im sure he sees the minivans there but obviously he needs somebody to tell him he needs to have a cleaner background. if he was going out to just snap some pictures then minivans and other cars in the background are fine, but i know like me 87 Turbo II claims himself to be a photographer so he has no excuse, he should have picked a different location.

i pointed out the WB cause i didnt understand why it was like that when he shot in raw, and the point of raw is to keep that from happening. i pointed out the cars in the background cause it just doesnt look good, and i would assume he doesnt know that cause he still took the pictures in that location. if he knew it looked bad then why did he do it.

oh you used alot of big words there johnny boy, look at all your other posts on here and 240atl, theres not a word bigger than 5 letters but your busted into this thread with a dictionary and thesaurus in hand tossing 10+ letter words around talking shit about something you know nothing about. people critique photos here and on other forums allllll day long, it happens, get over it.

Obviously, as he has already said, the lighting was insanely mixed. I don't know why you are having such a hard time understanding this. Also, what part of 'with my friends' and 'casual' don't you understand?

I think it is redundant to keep bringing up the fact that you still can't grasp the situation. Maybe I should get a dictionary and thesaurus to help you understand.

Let me try without one though.

In the pictures, they are at a car wash. The cars got washed. Pictures were taken. There were minivans in the same parking lot. End of story.

This wasn't a photo shoot. As a photographer, you need to take a step back and be reminded of perspective. Not everything needs to be perfectly fake looking like in the magazines. Personally, I thought the minivans added contrast that I thought brought a little hilarity to the art.

Your assumptions are your mistake.

Including assuming a person doesn't know 'big words' because they have only used slang previously on a casual forum. And who are you to say I have no idea what I'm talking about? Your statement is laughable and it almost completely ruined your second attempt at a more useful critique.

I'm perfectly aware of the process of critiquing. I encourage it. What I was doing, in case you still don't understand, is critiquing your critique. Sorry if you can't handle it.

And I'm not talking 'shit'. You are. Your use of expletives were uncalled for, and thus, you really did try to engage in a flame war, intentionally or not. This, again, makes me wonder at your intelligence.

And if this was a flame war, I would definitely have to say that you are not a 'dick'. You are a pussy. Your last post was a complete cop out that not even you believe. You just said it because you are emotionally overwhelmed by the way the conversation is going. Don't worry, I hear that happens to all perfectionists.

I agree with 87 Turbo II all the way though. You do have to be harsh.

I don't know where to begin telling you that this is completely irrelevant and a sad attempt at saving face.

What you just said proves that you copped out of the discussion by changing the topic bitterly.

Of course it's obvious that I'm not John Pearson due to not just vocabulary, as you already pointed out, but rhetoric and syntax. And by the way, this does not invalidate anything I have said thus far. So try not to make an ass of yourself by trying to say it does. We share this account. This is the internet. Get over it.

Or are you going to cry and have a fit about this too?
