I got the comment "what is it" on this photo: http://www.onexposure.net/?viewpic=16059

Made me smile :)

Edit: which reminds me how fun it is to get questions in member screening comments, it is not very easy to reply.

Wow,

Is he falling or flying?

To this one: http://www.onexposure.net/?viewpic=13557 I just love that comment! :O)

Comment can be fun, i guess i have left som crazy comments to others, when english is not your "home language", crazy things can be written! :O))

I got so annoyed by one picture in screening that I decided to screen it finally so i don't have to see it anymore. And in that state of mind I just wrote what I thought of it, - in my (second) native language: Norwegian.
I felt pretty stupid when one of the screener contacted me and asked for a translation.

(I guess this comment never reach it's destination. A pity, because I meant it.)


(BTW It was nothing insulting in it, just how I felt about the pic.)

Mal, I'm very polite person. I believe so at least. ;)

(But when I have to stare over and over again at a *beep* of a *beep* I really get *beep* beep*)
(Ok, I may be had a bad day too.) ;)
But is was still essentially. That's important. He/she got a reason why i didn't vote for the image.

I received this comment to a recent rejected image- really mad me mad! :)

"I dont understand it at all.. I cant make anything out of it, im sorry"

This one was a real favorite of mine!
"Contrived?

That was all they said!

I also love it when they leave a comment like "I hate this and that and this and that and this and that, but I'm so sorry"
Why do they have to apologize? Lame.

I hate that too Angela! (the apologizing)

Can anyone tell me why people put "story" as a rejection reason for a still life? I don't get it (apparently neither do they!) but I see this on my still lifes quite a lot....

And then is you want to place the image for Critique, you need to explain the "story" before you can post.

Not really a comment but in screening my favourite is when I get colour as one of the reasons for rejection on a b/w image.

Either they have their screen calibrated very weirdly or they just don't like b/w.

No joke on that one. Whoever makes those comments must relay only on chance- I tend to make my chance happen. I bet they don't say stuff like that to landscape or portraits or nudes or stills but mine is contrived. Thank you, I will wear it proudly! lol

Actually- I do work by chance- oh heck- i work so many different ways I'm confusing myself.

I think a respond button is a good idea. It could still be anonymous (except for the responding person obviously). Then if any discussion ensues it could be dropped in to the critique section. Or something similar.

Not a comment on one of my photos, but I almost soaked my computer in green afternoon tea when I saw it during screening on this one:



"that is the gayest punch ever, please put this in humour"

This person voted for the image, so nothing against the image or photographer at all.

BTW to all of you who are irritated over "I'm sorry" remarks. Even I can write stuff like that. Not all the time off course, I'm not THAT sorry. But sometimes I want to express that I am sorry about not voting for an image. Usually when I'm uncertain. I don't think it's such a bad thing to write.

Don't worry about that. When you are dead you can't move your tail. I will bring some chimpanzees as new screeners. They are cleverer than monkeys.

I didn't get any funny comments in screening, but there were some which made me bite my keyboard from frustration. Actually it's canned comments - like "no story" in a still-life and FA nude, or "model is overexposed" written under an IR nude. Reading such stuff, I bang my head to the wall a few times and this helps to relax.

Posted 2 years ago
I tend to disagree with many of the remarks regarding the "I not like title" feedback on Barbara's photo. I think the person commenting was being quite serious with his remark, and - assuming he was - has the right to dismiss a photo if he thinks the (in his/her eyes) bad choice of a title seriously undermines the value of the picture. Often titles are given to pictures to steer viewers, to help the photo. And sometimes a good title can actually do just that. So you have to accept that a badly chosen title can also turn against you, that it can be the other way around just as well. Once you decide to include a title, that title becomes part of the photo, and just like any other part, the 'title' part can help the photo, or can ruin it (the viewing experience), and be ground for dismissal.

 
Posted 2 years ago
Posting in Screening is IMO like posting in Critique. If you don't leave your ego at the door and are open and reflective towards others opinions (ref. KoPi's example above), what's then the whole idea with posting?
To ridicule some of the comments given in screening is IMO tantamounth to saying, that some of the member screeners are idiots.
If that's the case, why do you post then?

Lars :-)

I disagree, with all due respect. We see many photos published with an awkwardly translated or less than inspiring title. Translation corrections or other suggestions to the title should be made in critique or, if published, in OEmail or comments. If we make titles another criteria in sceening, it will be messy. Even if this would be the case, assuming that a title seriously undermines the picture, this should be clearly explained in case of a contra vote. Which was not the case in barbara's photo.
Anyway: would you say Zottegem or Aarshot are bad places just because their name is... eh, funny? :)

Regardless of the vote Mal, would you like to receive such a comment - I mean any comment after which you only ask yourself, "OK, you think like this, but WHY???"

"I not like title"

Voted or not, IMO i consider this coment is at millions of kilometers of a serious and conscencious photographic apreciation for those who have the responsability of making a decision if a work of autor is good or not good. I think what we discuss here is much more deep than voting yes or no, Mal :)

I think some are taking this rather too seriously, especially in view of the whole point of this thread was trying to bring a little fun into the situation.

I don't understand why people focus on titles, just look at all HCB's images, all the titles don't add anything to his images, it's just to give a name to images instead of saying "you know the image where we can see children with bottles in their hands" for example.
http://www.nikohk.com/2006/09/23/henri-cartier-bresson/

But as I know titles could be a problem, I try to find basic titles with no story because unfortunately it can be a reason for rejection for some people.
Do you really think a title can detract an great image ?
As if you go to the cinema, you watch a great film but at the end of the film you say "it could have been good if the title was nice...". A bit stupid, isn't it ?

Just a clarification...

Moderators are not a part of the crew. They are normal members with special permissions in the forum and critique only.

Another clarification is that Lars is not on the moderator team at the moment.

Of course we (the screening team) can see the name of the person writing comments in member screening. We get a few rude ones, and if they were completely anonymous there would be no possibility to follow up on that.

oh excuse me, i thought the screening team can see the names of the photographer when screening. did understand this wrong.
i didnt get funny screening comments so far, only missplaced statements. most often its about story. if you uppload photos of architecture and get comments like "no story" its kind of strange. also got comments about political statements in some of my photos, the commenter did forget that a photographer is producing a document of what happens and is not an artist that makes statements.

but i have to say that 99% of comments i get are comprehensible or are just a matter of taste. but in the end its all about taste in photography.

It's a typical product of the technology and not a photographer.
Look how good pictures our Nikon ( Canon, Pentax, Olympus ???) is doing !


Aha, this makes me thinking.....
BTW, I have an auto rotating and zooming Canon, my one is always shooting at the right moment.
Normally I'm placing it somewhere in town, after a couple of hours I'm coming back for picking it up again.
Finally my camera is telling me, what pictures will be published on 1X - I have to do nothing, only uploading.

Good, isn't it ?

 
Posted 2 years ago
I'm pre-production testing a forthcoming Nikon D3.1x, they have specifically asked me to evaluate the 1X scene mode they intend to incorporate into every new model after Christmas 2009.
So far mixed results, it is only achieving around 40% publication rate so I'll be telling Nikon to go back to the drawing board as I believe it will be a valuable feature on upcoming models.

b-dum... ;-)

Guys/Gals,

once you make your art known to the public you are bound to receive all sorts of comments from all sorts of people with all sorts of background. So it makes little sense to take personally some idiotic comments.

The more your work is viewed and metabolised by its audience the more it will be subject to criticism, denigration and even vandalism (as well as appreciation).

It is part of the interaction author/audience and as such any comment is equally valuable and meaningless.

So what would Duchamp have said about that performance artist vandalizing his dadaistic "fountain" (which was not received very well by Duchamp's contemporaries anyway)?

Well, you have either a mouth-blown window-glass fixed focal lens, used some vaseline filter, have shot through something else, did it in post-processing or... Why should the viewer care, that it was made with a fixed focal lens? The viewer simply did not like the blurred effect on both side of the image. What is difficult in here, to accept this as a statement? And why is this comment not nice as you claim later?

I just took this as an example for many other comments shown here in this thread. So don't take it personal. On the one hand people complain about missing feedback, but if they receive one, it seems to be hard to accept it if it not matches the own photo standards and taste.

I have not written this comment and I like your image quite a lot. But I find the comment reasonable even if I don't share it.

:) Stephan, well, I was writing this because for me a zooming effect is quite different from what could be seen in my image...that's all...indeed it doesn't matter how it was obtained but this really don't look like a zooming on a peaceful scene, well, nevermind, and it's not difficult to accept, as I've wrote there probably soon I'll care not at all about them... :)

The last time I read the thread on funny comments it was quite some time ago. At first I felt relieved that I was not the only one receiving the comments, but then I realized that maybe I had made some terrible ones without knowing it. So, I simply stopped writing comments!

Reading these new comments, I have to admit I don't find them funny - oh okay maybe a little funny - but really what it mostly shows is that people are not looking at the pictures very carefully at all. Actually it makes me wonder just what they are looking at?

Of those above - the best example of this for me is Balazs's shot of the kids. The smiles on their faces tell me they are very happy children who are actually enjoying themselves. They look as happy as my own children once looked in photos when they were young. So, my thought is that the person writing what they did - did not look at the photograph. Maybe they saw foreign kids from ?? and immediately projected onto the image their own POV about taking pictures of poor kids.. But they never looked at those children - in his picture..not really. If they had written,
"I cannot vote for this photo because the children have big smiles and seem too happy" that I could accept. At least I would understand that they had looked at the photo!!!

I wish I could laugh like Faddoush....until then I will just keep shaking my head in disbelief.

If you assume that the ill informed comments are from people with perhaps a lesser understanding of photography, or to be more charitable, a lesser understanding of what is accepted on 1X, then it is probably safe to assume that they have very few, if any published pictures here. That being the case, their voice in screening has very little impact as the weight of a member's opinion is in relation to the amount of published pictures and to their ability to vote for or against pictures in line with the way the crew voted. ( obviously without knowing beforehand what the crew voted. . ) Which would indicate how 'in tune' they are with 1x's intentions. As I understand it anyway. Correct me if i am wrong.
So have a laugh and don't worry about it.

I had one that I found slightly amusing on a recent (rejected) submission. Not as amusing as some of the above, but I still had a chuckle. The comment was, in part, that there were noticeable sharpening artifacts. The image was never sharpened. Not even a little bit. I've strained my eyes to see anything that anyone could perceive as sharpening artifacts and come up with nothing. It does make me wonder if the person was commenting on the correct photograph.

Google translation: "I am not sensitive to clodhoppers, sorry .."

'Clodhoppers' hehe! I can't remember seeing or hearing that word since the early 1960's when my sister called her orthopedic 'saddle shoes' clodhoppers . Great word, btw. :-)))

Posted 6 months ago
true Rui, for landscape photography i'm completely fine with that....
but street photography does not ask for leveled horizon, its more dynamic.

i think lots of photographers do judge photos with a checklist:

- over or underexposed areas
- leveled hoizons
- ....

please note that i'm not unhappy with the screening result. i've been a member here for many years. i just think that water not being in level in a street shot is not that big of issue. :)

Agree Remo, but water canīt have much impact in the photo, or you must have a much more impact point in order observer donīt be affected by not leveled wather. Note i donīt talk about your photo where you received the coment, i donīt see it or i canīt remember if i see it :)
