Interesting Leica product announcements today ...

I never mentioned lighting at all in this thread before replying to your
statement about candle lit photos.

Where did I write that?

It often isn't in a large space. You'd have a daylight look within the
range of the flash and BG's lit by fluor. That can work for effect if
the time is taken to do so - but usually looks odd.

For fluo I'd rather do it upfront. While I haven't done this in several
years, the old trick of a light green gel over the strobes and a magenta
(fluo) over the lens makes the entire scene correct for post correction
as a fluo to daylight shot.

This would be painstaking to do in post over dozens or hundreds of
images where the key is daylight and the BG is fluo.

This is the same as the above IMO. I often leave incandescent as
accents in the room with flash or daylight exposure, but certainly not
for key or fill on skin.

That's true. I have many filters in a box. The only ones I carry are
ND's and pol.

Piss off, troll. You and the others from that german university server are more
than well known, dipshit.

 

I ought to call you mom and tell her to wash out your mouth with lots of soap.

PS: You still don't have a clue.

 

If you had kept your attributions right, you'd had seen that *I*
wrote that.

For a good reason. Look up the original post where it
appeared and look for the context.

Who said that where? So far, nonbody did, although it's easily
demonstrated for some filters like polarizers and graduated
ND filters and ND filters.

Even nukes don't light near and far areas evenly.

Nope. While you can do much in post if there is only a single
type of light source, as soon as you have different sources
(window and artifical comes immediately to mind) you're *much*
better off if you don't have to correct the mixed light in post,
but gel the lightsources to one common type before you shoot.
Yes, this isn't always feasible.

-Wolfgang

 

No, but that's the one easy to see without pixel peeping.

Does that invalidate what I said in any way?

Wrong. What matters is what the photographer wants. The
camera is just a tool.

And that means the photographer is not allowed to use low ISO,
proper light and noise reduction?

Again, that's technical limits, not "applying AA filters to
pointilist paintings".

At least that's your claim. You do need to provide proof, however.
The above wasn't even in the same continent.

And what does that have to do with pointilist paintings, where
the effect is used on purpose for artistic reasons?

Many a lot bigger than you have tried that.
I'd like to see you have a go, need a good laugh.

About your imbecile troll thought process?
You and the other trolls from that german uni site?
No, thanks!

 

They're all 2.6 meters, 500 pounds and have an IQ well
upwards of Mensa admission requirements? And they wouldn't
manage to call your mom?

Oh, *now* I get it! Your mom is an ugly, bearded woman who
yells at everyone all the time.

You still don't have a clue, do you?

Is using the WWW and maybe a google translater way too hard
for you? Don't worry, clueless trolls like you usually find that
the reality doesn't impinge their twisted little worlds ...

-Wolfgang

 

Wolfgang Weisselberg wrote,on my timestamp of 29/05/2012 2:50 AM:

They wouldn't. Unless they can talk to the next world, which I doubt.
Then again, anyone with 500 pounds needs to be in close contact with next world,
that's where they are heading soon...

Like I said: I'd like to see you have a go.

Yes, precisely. It's the hallmark of trolls like you to go through all those
machinations to use that kind of site.
I don't need to.

BWAHAHA! Get down to earth, idiot.

 

Done. Worked. She said she'd spank you, but due to circumstances
that would have to wait till you're in convenient reach, she'd
not play "haunted house".

The convenient reach can be arranged ...

Yep, you'd rather bum Usenet access from Wolfgang M. Weyand (who
--- tadaa --- happens to live in Germany, who's servers live in
Germany, ...) for free. Pray tell, can't you find a newsserver
in your own country any more? Been thrown off all of them?

You do speak German? You asked for your username and password
via gopher --- or did you use snail-mail?

The "idiot" told to tell you to fix
your Reply-To:, it's contrary to their TOS. Unless your email
address is indeed "alt.morons" --- with no domain specification.#

Which would make sense: you're the moron everywhere.

-Wolfgang

 

Wolfgang Weisselberg wrote,on my timestamp of 30/05/2012 12:16 AM:

Really? You and whose army?

Start making sense, moron. You can't even construct a phrase properly, much
less invent names and situations...

Er? Are you totally, insanely mad?
WTF is "gopher"? WTF is "snail-mail"?
By how many millenia is your mind retarded?

Really? I'm shaking already. Let me see: you'd only be the umpteenth utter
imbecile who attempts to "shut me up". Sad... Really sad...
So much effort of that single brain cell, and totally wasted...
What can I say other than:

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Looking at mirrors again? Seems a constant with you...
I'd consult a shrink, if I were you. That sort of crap can lead to suicide.
Guess what's coming, troll:

Gopher was the text-only somewhat-precursor to HTML.


WTF is "snail-mail"?

The United States Postal Service. Actually, its
now no longer snail-like.

Just to add some historical context - it originated at the University
of Minnesota (Home of the 'Golden Gophers') in the early days of the
World Wide Web, ca 1991. It was sort of a competitor.

there are indeed too many people who make nasty comments about others
without disclosing their true identity.

Bingo. About bloody time this happens!
I hope it gets approved and spreads out.
Enough is enough!

 

The army of grains of sand in the used, smelly sock.

No need for a solitary sniper in *your* case: you bark real loud
and proud, but you'd need to get dentures for a bite that might
threaten a fresh, very soft milk roll.

You cannot be *that* naive about your own usenet provider
when a moron can find out all and more that in 5 minutes.

See other posts. Obviously you have not been around for long
nor know much about the Internet. Anything *you* don't
grasp is madness ... which says lots about you.

BTW, if you run across vocabulary you don't grasp, asking
wikipedia or google is a good idea even you could implement
if you worked hard at it.

Obviously you're an asshole to everyone.

Well, *my* single brain cell can figure out --- all on it's own ---
that if you want to be nasty (i.e. just yourself) you need to use
"Followup-To:", not "Reply-To:". So what's wrong with *your*
brain? Drowned in alcohol? Happen to have 2 brain cells
(one's lost and the other's looking for it)? Brain amputee?

Not that "Followup-To:" will work against me, as I do have a
single brain cell --- which works.

Yep, if I was *you*, the thought that a one-braincell-moron
would outthink, outknow, outsmart and outfigure me every turn
would surely lead to suicide --- but then I, being you,
wouldn't have the mental power to even notice that.

Oh, I shivvvver in by very trousers. I really do. But ...
thinking about it, it's the sort of stupidity a Noons would commit,
and it's double stupid since Noons is not Noons real name.

However, there are many valid reasons one might want to speak anonymously.

1. job preservation.
2. Privacy protection to deter identity theft.

Narh, sorry. The need to do so is long gone.
There is absolutely no reason for anyone to post anonymously or through
remailers, in this day and age.

 

So says the "wizofoz2k".
Noons, I just love the new running gag!
Oh! The irony!

 

It's the other way around: anonymity is more important now than ever before.
