You're getting more bizarre by the day. Yep, madness is just a short step away for Ryadia. The detail at full size doesn't prove anything; in fact it just muddies the waters still further. A major problem with evaluating digital shots is that you can never really know how much unsharp mask has been applied, and where, unless you are told. This was never a problem with 35mm/120 slides, a loupe and a lightbox. ;-) |

Why is it "Tony Polson" that when you get caught out with a totally wrong
call - right along with the other masterbaters in this thread - who chimed in on your queue - Just postulate and stamp around like a spoilt brat who didn't get his way when it becomes obvious you are clueless? You though you'd just join in with a bit the group sport of head kicking, didn't you? What a total loser you are. Instead of ask *IF* the picture is in focus, you make the outragious statement that it is and when I don't reply with a "yes Mr Polson, sorry sir" reply, you prod me like you and Chrlz are from the same school of dorks. You're out of line and wrong. Don't try and make excuses for yourself. -- Douglas. My name never changes... Just the name of the computer the messages are sent from sometimes does. As is my right to do as the owner of the computer. This one is called pixby. "Tony Polson" wrote in message ... "G.T." wrote: "Foto Ryadia's Studio" wrote in message ...

I stand by my comments on the original (small) shot you posted. The eyes look out of focus, the ears look sharp. Several people here agreed with me. Not surprising, because the effect seems clear. I asked the opinion of several photographer friends, including two with ARPS qualifications. They all agreed, and we enjoyed a laugh at your expense. Now you post an enlarged version which is inconclusive. You haven't told us how much unsharp mask was applied, and to which areas of the shot. It is impossible to draw any conclusion, one way or the other, from this enlarged portion. Typically, however, you feel that this enlarged portion entitles you to rant and rave about ... well about nothing of any importance. Well go ahead, and enjoy. g Perhaps, when you have both hands on the camera, or the keyboard, instead of one permanently working away inside your trousers, you might take better photos *and* make more sense. Until then, please feel free to continue to make a fool of yourself on here. Some more comparisons of your point and shoot and DSLR would be nice. ;-) |

"Chrlz" wrote in message ups.com... And just so i don't get accused of not 'walking the walk', if you want an example of (IMO) good sharpening and appropriate compression levels, here's an old one of mine that is by no means a perfect image, but sharpness-wise it is pretty close to the optimum - compare her eyes to Douglas' image... http://community.webshots.com/photo/...62783799qiQirO She has *eyes*? Where? ... ... No hard feelings! And if you *like* feuds, and you have a half hour to waste, check out some of the full story on Douglas over in the 'Enlarging Digital Images' thread, at: http://tinyurl.com/9wuwl Uh huh. Actually, I've been lurking long enough to catch at least the tail-end of much of the stuff you quote. Fun, actually. Feuds are much more fun than completely rational discussions. Sometimes the truth will out only when passions are inflamed. The focal length vs perspective debate actually taught me (*me*! a cranky old goat!) something. I'm trying very hard not to come across as a cranky, supercilious, know-it-all *******, as I usually do in other NGs. So far.... -- Jeff R. (batting .500 ?) |

I am sorry to disappoint you doug, I have not yet seen any single picture from you that is worth the trouble to "steal." Not impressed! Well of course, Leo. That's the whole idea. Thanks for your contribution the flip side is you haven't establish you're a pro but just a grumpy old man. Maybe the possibility I'm both has escaped you Leo? -- Douglas, Zero care factor for negative responses from anonymous posters. |

http://community.webshots.com/ photo/... (rest of link snipped)
(Before Douglas whinges, the image is posted for educational purposes only, his copyright message remains, and it will be removed after 2 days. Sorry if anyone is now chasing my versions of Douglas' images - as I promised I would, I have taken them down. It seems this thread has run it's course. I don't make a habit of pulling any of my *own* images down if they ever get a bad review, and all of my stuff is still there. |
