They just can't believe that the plain Jane they've known all their lives could look that "amazing" in a photograph.<br /><br />On the other hand, photographers that use the amazing word have a limited view of the truely amazing photographs produced since the advent of photography.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033099579079928848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-57379466426594757882013-03-26T16:50:13.709-07:002013-03-26T16:50:13.709-07:00Lost in the "amazing" thing is that it&#...Lost in the "amazing" thing is that it's a very dynamic and eye-catchie shot! Earring in mid air, hair is flight, what's not to like?<br />Great shot! <br />Amazing, I dunno...<br />But isn't great realistic as a goal? "Amazing" besides being horribly overused (like "awesome") is supposed to be, just that, amazing! It ain't the Zapruder film. Nor is anything else.<br />Carry on.<br />And Great Shot!WestCoastJimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-46766394998534693192013-03-23T05:32:33.743-07:002013-03-23T05:32:33.743-07:00Yes, Jimmy, but aren't you forgetting somethin...Yes, Jimmy, but aren't you forgetting something in your rant?<br />Like the subjective experience a viewer can get when looking at a certain photo.<br />Knowing much about photographic techniques or not, some photos make a deeper impact on a person, and you just can't measure or explain these things.<br />I love many of your photos, and I understand you have great skills, but this one is something else anyway.<br />It surely is amazing to me!<br />And I really don't care what you think of that!<br />:-P<br />I think amazing is really an amazing word by the way, especially for people whom's English isn't so good, to make an understatement... <br />XXX<br /><br />Nadja https://www.blogger.com/profile/10051216127620105253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-71103680500239880142013-03-22T14:32:06.313-07:002013-03-22T14:32:06.313-07:00@Joe Rooney: Thanks,dude. :-)@Joe Rooney: Thanks,dude. :-)jimmydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250574229270573468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30664106.post-34356228428276329682013-03-22T14:09:45.165-07:002013-03-22T14:09:45.165-07:00In a world where marketing hype rules, I do think ...In a world where marketing hype rules, I do think we become saturated with overexaggeration about the qualities of this or that product, photos included. However, as photographers, we should also be cognizant that we are "in" on the trick of producing a quality photo. But from the perspective of someone who's knowledge on lighting extends no further than to push the button for the pop up flash, a well lit and composed photograph IS amazing, even if to those who are "in" on the magic trick it's nothing special. <br /><br />To your credit Jimmy, you've done a yeoman's job in trying to demystify the "magic" of photographic lighting with your blog and ebooks. And there is one profession whose work is always, unequivocally, AMAZING- "Teacher."
