Forgetting all the images in my wedding magazines, that makes over a 100 published photos for me so far this year. Add the magazine shots and seriously Bret... You are a babe in the woods. Don't worry matey... You won't ever catch up to me but if you keep at it, I'm sure you'll soon enough get to number 4 and then 5 and so it will go until you start to get paid for your effort in excess of the cost of your gear and can then claim to be a professional. Maybe then you'll know why it just isn't profitable to mess around with a single pic the way you do. Until then, stick to minding your own business because when you interfer with mine, you are going to get more unwanted attention than a bloke in your line of business really wants to have. The eyes of the world are on you now son, let's see you apply yourself to getting out of the **** hole you live in and make something of yourself for a change. |

Douglas MacDonald CAUGHT LYING AGAIN, was Big cat really quiteboring
Firstly, may I observe that the image Douglas posted is up to his usual
standards - boring, pointless and uninteresting, insipid colours, uninspiring composition (although the chopped off mast head is probably a master stroke I am incapable of understanding) and inexplicably poor choice of time of day - why on earth shoot in such flat, horrid light? And one would have to question a 'pro's' use of a lens that is allegedly so bad the CA had to be processed out of what is a greatly reduced image, shot in circumstances that shouldn't elicit much CA at all. This is not exactly a challenging scene, altho for Doug perhaps it would be... Now, going a little off-topic and to pick up on Douglas and his usual pack of LIES. Alienjones wrote: The truth is: I did in fact respond to the challenge and as Gordon confirmed... Could do exactly what I claimed to be able to do. Idiots like Charlie Stevens and Bret Douglas are so jealous of anyone who can do something they can't, they set about to create a load of lies and defamation rather than accept a package of truth. An oft-repeated falsehood from Douglas. Here is the link where Gordon Moat, very tactfully, corrects Douglas' assertions: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.p...c2af22e84217b/ Douglas has NEVER proven what he claims (namely that he can "add real detail" and that he can enlarge a 6x4 print up to 36x24 and actually INCREASE the detail level to 720 ppi (yes, his words!) in the process.. He has been caught out lying on numerous occasions, using falsified images. Here's just one example: http://www.photokb.com/Uwe/Forum.asp...mages-examples Note how Doug is IMMEDIATELY busted for posting a reduction, not an enlargement, and the page is then pulled after he tries to bluster his way out of his own quagmire of lies.. The web is littered with similar examples of Doug's lies and bull**** enlarging claims. He rapidly pulls any pages as soon as he is busted, but I have several saved pages showing his falsehoods - if anyone wants a copy, just let me know... No one is suggesting he can't make big prints (frankly, anyone can!). I've seen them - they are positively mediocre, and barely scrape together 70-120 ppi detail level. Which is ok from a distance. So goodonya dougie. But what we ARE pointing out is that his claims of a super-duper enlarging algorithm are bull****, he constantly lies and cheats to promote his (very hard to find!) 'businesses'.. and his quality standards are obviously crap. That's the same enlarging algorithm he sold to Samsung, by the way. Are you still claiming that, Dougie? Or was 'Graham Hunt' lying? I told ColinD the image I sent him was from a composite... That is easily proven as an absolute BLATANT LIE. Here's what Colin actually said when he found out he had been duped: Newsgroups: rec.photo.equipment.35mm, aus.photo From: Colin_D Date: Sat, 05 Jan 2008 23:21:29 +1300 Subject: Panorama software (Which do you use) Declaration to all readers of this thread: At no time did Douglas send, nor did I receive, a RAW file of the print he sent me. By his own statement, he made a 24x72 inch panorama from twenty stitched images. He now wants us to believe that the 24x36 print he sent me, the right-hand half of the pano, was from a single frame? Like, 19 frames used in the other half? Douglas appears to have serious reality problems. His word is not to be trusted. Colin D. And here's the link for incontrovertible proof of Douglas MacDonald's LIES: http://groups.google.com.au/group/re...2ea8368e5fd9be To clarify Colin's words, he had earlier been sent a 24x36 print after a conversation in a different thread. The print was *supposed* to prove that Doug could make enlargements as he claimed (ie from a small file and with "real added detail"). Colin remained somewhat unimpressed. Then, many months later - in the thread above - Douglas accidentally let it slip that the image was in fact a COMPOSITE of 20 images!! Douglas started madly backpedalling - read the thread if interested... So, Douglas MacDonald, you are a, yet again, proven as a FILTHY LIAR. Your reputation here is thoroughly deserved. Note, as usual, Doug, that I post links and proof that you are a liar. You should try it - posting your own demented website doesn't count - especially now that you have been proven as a hopeless, incorrigible liar *many* times over and not just by me.. Keep at it, Doug. You amuse me. And we are still waiting, with baited breath, for you to return, victorious (grin), to the famous 'stepped out panorama' thread/debacle, he http://phorums.com.au/archive/index.php/t-263937.html This topic will be revisited by me shortly. (I'd get in first if I was you, Doug - what's stopping you? Too much wedding/portrait work?) (O: If anyone still wants to utilise Douglas MacDonald's services after checking out the links above, here is that link again: http://www.douglasjames.com.au/ I won't point you to weddingsnportraits - he seems to be winding that one down - another in a long list of casualties. Whatever happened to clocksnprints (due in March 08)? Technoaussie? His other unnamed 'photo lab franchises'? The list of failures continues (Doug can easily correct me if I'm wrong, simply by posting a shopfront address..) (O |

Douglas' definition of honesty?
Alienjones wrote:
To keep him honest in his appraisal of the enlargement... And not that I would ever rub it in, but seeing Douglas is referring to 'honesty', here's *more* (refer to my other post on this thread) of what Colin_D said when Douglas attempted to pass off a stitched composite as a 'genuine' enlargement. Colin D: I remember commenting at the time that I could not match the smoothness and foreground definition with my setup here, and attributed that to your magic algorithm. Little did I realize that it was stitched, and I guess you could say that you stitched me up as well. To keep it more or less seemly here, all I will say is that I am sorely ****ed off at being used to support your 'algorithm' with a misrepresented print. If there had been money involved I would have you for fraud. In utter disgust, Colin D. Yes, folks, that is the typical modus operandi of Douglas MacDonald - a fraudster, a liar and cheat of the highest order. Link he http://groups.google.com.au/group/re...2ea8368e5fd9be The post referred to is on Jan 5. Cheers, Doug. You lowlife slimebag. |

It seems the Stalker, the wanna be, the neverwillbe and the fossil from Arlington all have one thing in common. The ability to invent a story regardless of the facts or the truth of the matter. For one thing... Gordon Moat (in 2005) was the second person in these groups to see one of my enlargements first hand. The only other person to see one was Alan Browne. Gordon is the only person with any printing or photographic qualification. This makes his assessment the only one with any substance to it. Everything said by the stalker from Australia and the jackass from Chattanooga is just sour grapes. The fosil from Arlington? To be pitied for being fooled by the jackass but none toe less spreading lies. Gordon Moat's review of my enlargement and his comments about the printing industry (as it was in 2005) are here, unedited and unaltered. http://www.annika1980.com/evidence/moats-comments.htm As for the honesty of the stalker from AU, no one should ever forget he high tailed it out of South Australia under an assumed name to hide out in Queensland. Never bothering to keep his Electoral enrollment address updated, not bothering to notify the police of his whereabouts or obtain a Queensland driver's license and comes on here as some sort of shinning angel... A nice example of a mongrel swine indeed. There's some really nice (NOT) people inhabiting Usenet and he is one of the un-nicest I've ever come across. Right next to the jackass from Chattanooga and his puppet in Arlington. |

Idiot. For a backwood jackass, you sure are an insult to the (in) breed. When someone distributes a 48 page magazine City wide, it actually qualify the owner of the magazine to be called a MAGAZINE PUBLISHER. maybe 2 years ago it was a flyer. A year ago it was still a multi page brochure. Today it's a full fledged magazine with a client base that reads like a who's who of the restaurant and wedding industry. While you were busy making an idiot out of yourself, I was quietly chiseling away at a publishing business than now produces 3 magazines and 10 regional calendars with some serious plans and prospects for when my grand children eventually take it over. Sort of makes your miserable life and disgusting efforts to gain a few scored points look like the childish stupidity you've never grown out of. In the words of Gordon Moat: "I originally did not want to believe that Douglas MacDonald could get anything other than a mess with his large prints. While I agree with him that his lenses were a limit, his samples show the potential of digital prints, though only in controlled post processing and printing conditions. His results are not easy for just anyone to repeat. Skill, experience, and very good equipment allow higher limits." This from a world recognized printing and photography specialist. Who do we believe? Him or the bunch of idiot rabble you managed to fool with the suggestion bull**** beats brains - well it does in your neck of the woods, that's for sure. You bunch of losers couldn't organize a chook raffle in a hen house, much less a coherent argument. http://www.annika1980.com describes the criminal acts of Bret Douglas. |

Alienjones wrote:
Gordon is the only person with any printing or photographic qualification. This makes his assessment the only one with any substance to it. And here's what Gordon said about Douglas, to correct his falsehoods - even gentle, tactful Gordon has outed Douglas.. Gordon Moat: "I should point out that the original requests for me to view image samples did NOT come directly from Douglas." (Douglas claimed he had made the request. He LIED.) "I should also point out that the original claim that Douglas had was that his algorithm did not LOSE any detail information. I am not sure how or when that changed in the last year to a claim of adding or increasing detail information; it is simply not possible regardless of technology." (Douglas claimed he could add "real detail", which of course Gordon flatly and correctly refuted.) Gordon then repeated: "..I did NOT write the article for Douglas.." and to clarify his point about Douglas not being able to do what he said, he reinforced the salient point: "Q: Did Douglas's images contain more detail information than the original?" "A: NO, ONLY MORE PIXELS." The emphasis is mine, but those are direct quotes, and the whole thread may be found he http://groups.google.com/group/rec.p...c2af22e84217b/ ...so you can decide for yourself about Douglas and his lies. .. not bothering to notify the police of his whereabouts or obtain a Queensland driver's license and comes on here as some sort of shinning angel... A nice example of a mongrel swine indeed. Just curious, why would such stuff, even if true, somehow invalidate the links and references and blatant lies that Douglas has been caught out with? That sort of comment will come back to bite you very soon, Doug. It also shows what an incompetent 'investigator' you are. Anyone else who wants to find me just emails me - and I'll happily give out my address - so why doesn't your solicitor/legal rep just do that? My web domain has a perfectly valid postal address too, and I can easily prove that, so why don't you post me something - registered mail, please. But you just go very quiet when asked to put up or shut up, don't you, Douglas. We ALL know why. Pity your sockpuppets get noticed and busted within seconds nowadays.. Anyway, why not just start up a new enlarging thread, with proof of what you have claimed.. or maybe some tips on perspective, or using spot-metering.. perhaps a linear panorama? By showing your true measure as a photographer, surely you can drive off any criticism.. and maybe get forgiven for your past lies. (O: |
