today on my way for dinner I came across this man walking, I stopped the car and asked him for a picture (a first for me)

with the way he was dressed I presumed He was Scottish.... turns out he was a fairly well spoken Boltonian, just dresses like this as it's Different!

 

as for the picture I don't really use my HTC as a camera, but as they say the best camera is the one you have with you.

 

he wished me well and carried on walking..

WELL DONE LEON!

Even I wouldn't dare to get out of a driver's seat to request a portrait.......but I can see why you did.

No accounting for eccentrics, but most seem to love their picture being taken........this one is bandbox smart.......but, the yellow carrier bag doesn't go with his tee shirt ;-)

Again.....well done!

LION?........  thats one of these..... 

 

while we are on 'names' Leon anyone from Scotland is known as a Scot. A 'Scotchman' was someone employed by local inns and hotels to place a wedge under carriage wheels. Scotch is also a drink but not a person from Scotland.  ;)  :)

Leon, please don't get annoyed with me. I mean well. That photo is a poor snapshot. You just snapped the guy from a standing position? You didn't even get close in to him to isolate him from the background or blur the background. I don't understand why people would back you up, saying it's a nice shot when it's not?

You've got the whole world of digital post production to call on but you don't use it?

Your pictures could be so much better but you still knock out this crap?

Why?

In your time at TIPF we have seen just 4 examples of your work, all of which received positive constructive criticism. Everyone that posts here has the right to expect the same!

 

I'm sorry but your reply has overstepped the mark, I feel Leon deserves a full explanation and apology.

In (partial) defence of DarrenC, I don't like the shot either, so I simply didn't click 'Like' and didn't say anything. I would offer CC if I was asked, but Leon didn't here, so I just moved on.

 

Where I don't go along with him is use of language like 'crap' - who's going to learn to become a better photographer from that??

I'd love to see some more of the crap you post so I can slag it off, everyone here who knows me knows I rarely post crap this is as you said a snap shot.

 

oh and if you bother to take the time to look through my posts you will see that I prefer NOT to PP my images,

Darren - How can you say you mean well and then launch into an attack on Leon and his photo?

 

If you genuinely meant well, you'd have offered some constructive criticism and some encouragement instead of another spray of vitriol.

 

You need to apologise and you need to refrain from this kind of comment in future.

love the outfit hes wearing ..what a character !  have to say your braver than me to go ask for a photo lol 

 

only critic would have been to have asked him to put his bag down out of shot as it clashes awfully but i guess that may have been taking a bit of a liberty lol 

 

 

Darren, Leon explained the circumstances of the photo and its judged on that. quick snapshot or not ... you are out of order ... i sincerely hope you do realise and make a full apology :(
