Almost everyone at any photographic level can relate to lenses and cameras, but talking subjectively about images and art is difficult. Most amateur photographers are not as interested in creating original art as they are duplicating what they have seen done by other photogs in magazines and on websites. Therefore, the topics about equipment and techniques are perfectly understandable...if not somewhat disappointing.<BR/><BR/>I appreciate the photo blogs, such as yours, George, that are what one blogger called the "thinking photographer blogs".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-87627515040399593172007-05-07T04:42:00.000-06:002007-05-07T04:42:00.000-06:00Hi George,That's what I enjoy about visiting your ...Hi George,<BR/>That's what I enjoy about visiting your site: it's more about artistic exploration than just pixels and zoom lenses. I found your series on the Luminous Landscape helpful and thought-provoking. I actually joined our local camera club as a result. Keep the the artistic stuff coming!<BR/><BR/>--- jerry grassoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-70758982392340349312007-05-07T02:50:00.000-06:002007-05-07T02:50:00.000-06:00It might also be a question of fact over opinion. ...It might also be a question of fact over opinion. Technical mattes tend (not always) to deal in right/wrong answers. Your example of diffraction limits just shows that there are many ill-informed or unknowledgeable who respond despite not knowing the answers.<BR/>As to non-technical: this has a lot to do with opinion and sense of aesthetics. For me, unless a poster actual invites particular comments, I'd tend to leave well enough alone - there is no point havign an argument on mattes of personal taste; live & let live.doonsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558926453149764893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-16829758803360163562007-05-07T01:41:00.000-06:002007-05-07T01:41:00.000-06:00Keep the non-technical articles coming.

I (and others) may not always agree with your conclusions, but it's hard to make a proper opposing argument to these subjects without getting down to personal beliefs and attacks to the value of the authors work. But I certainly enjoy reading your articles/blog and getting my thoughts provoked.Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11012344762714691838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557058.post-51522111329612516202007-05-07T00:53:00.000-06:002007-05-07T00:53:00.000-06:00It's because of medium - the Internet.Browsing the...It's because of medium - the Internet.<BR/>Browsing the net, there is much better chance to meet technicians then artists, I think.Rudolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711527404730553676noreply@blogger.com
