RE: In A Monochrome World

in The Pub3 months ago

When viewing B&W photos, we don't get distracted by the colours, we have more focus to - again - whatever is in the image.

Exactly!

I used to play around with self-developing photos back in the days.

We never had that, but I'd have loved to try it out.

You're right about the art of taking quality photos is lost. As you say, we have a bunch of software to help us, but misusing them is also so easy and you get the opposite of what you should.

Another issue I see is the majority of people have no intention of improving. None, whatsoever. I see this in the photo community I'm managing. So many times I'm trying to reason with them, to not post low quality photos and instead of seeing some improvement, what I get is a fight, they trying to convince me that those photos are ok. Life is a learning curve, whatever you do, your goal should be to be better every day, but unfortunately so many are not thinking like that.

Hahaha I saw one of those this morning, you muted one from a Venezuelan lady.
Not too bad posts, she done one in Collectors community which was ok.
But yeah, here photographs much below par, at least not close to amateur level, let alone to professional level.
Users are complaining when they get muted, I have all the experience with that in one of the communities I manage.
Even with same clear community rules, muted posts/users usually started to fight, or to twist the rules in their favour.
Some even continues to post whatever was muted.

I see they don't spare you either. I could write a book about this and most likely it would be entertaining, if it wouldn't be sad. Really sad. Even though I'm used to it, still can't understand their mentality. Probably never will. Maybe I will write a post 😬 What do you think, would anyone read it?

Some will read such a post, perhaps even those who agree with you.
Some may become angry and write associated comments to such post. But perhaps that will not happen, since they make themselves known more to others, they do not have an objective view and pick up fights for the wrong reasons and not in their right, whatever 'right' is here in HIVE 😉
