& typically are in more HDR than Instagram Photo's many of u are sharing/ have been known to share on here.
Some of them are also too large that they don't go over well on Smaller Computers or Laptops/ Tablets.
IMO even Photobucket is only just barely passable, Flickr Images of Skyline's
always look by far the best because their typically taken by Professional Photographer's.
So, you post other people's pictures and thought "I know, I think it would help everyone else if I told them how crappy many of their pictures are." What exactly made you think your insulting of others would be of interest to the rest of us? Maybe its another case, like racial dating, in which you should think your private thoughts, and beyond that, shut up.

Sigh I don't even know what to say to that, I just think people
need to put more thought in the things they share, that's my oppinion
it is what it is, I was complimenting him because he obviously
DID because he looked @ the "Quality" of the Photo's before sharing them as well as the size.
I'm entitled to my own opinion stop being so butthurt. If u think that the "Quality" of Photo's don't matter @ all, then you obviously have NEVER had friends that have worked in Photography. (Unlike me that knows at least 4 Different people that work in Photography). & let me say "Quality" does MATTER. It's not just for the topics/ threads we have here.
But then again it's just my opinion right? It's not as though this is a Photography Thread/ Page, this is about Skyline's more than it's about the "Quality" of the images that are shared. But I still think some people should put a little more thought behind what they share.
(Just like I do & a few other's on here do also).
Typically the ONLY ones Sharing lower Quality Photo's on here for the Most part are Montrealer's & Hamiltonian's anyways. The vast Majority of Canadians share Flickr Images/ Photo's from REAL ACTUAL Proffessional Canadian Photographer's. (& for the most part I have np or complaints). It's when a few people behave like they can share the lower quality photo's & that this is ok or BETTER, that I have a problem with that.
How am I wrong? If anything the highest Quality Photo's DESERVE more exposure/ recognition. NOT the lower "Quality"
Ameture Photo's. You do realize that this Country of our has awards for things like "Best Photographer"
within a Municipality. One of my friends in Calgary Rob Moses was a runner up. Go to the Skyline Threads of US Cities
u RARELY if ever see low "Quality" Images. So why am I somehow NOT allowed to complain about it here? It's
just bs if u ask me.

Actually that one is pretty good, the Quality is decent & the size is good too,
it's not too large.
When I mean "Crappy" I mean Photo's that either don't show a very good angle of the
Skyline, or Photo's that only show a Handful of Buildings &/or the Quality is so poor that the Buildings/ Skyline looks like the Color's or lights are off.
I could show u an example but we'll see.

Ok here's an Example of Low Quality vs. High Quality.


^Low Quality.


^& Now High Quality.
Fair right?

Really loving the blue lighting on 'PVM', when was this added?
Now here's another Exmaple. Their's nothing particularly bad about this Photo sure, but it's fairly LARGE. & Unless ur using a Home PC & not a Tablet or Laptop then this is going to look fairly large on ur computer screen right?
On top of that the Picture Quality doesn't look anywhere near as crisp as this one!


You can see that their's also a pretty big difference in the way the lights look in both images/ photo's right?

He's always been alive, he just doesn't like me so much, but I don't blame him seeing as how lots of people on here seem to hate me lately. It's really discouraging because I thought my contribution on here was valued.
& I don't deliberately try to get people on here to hate me, but they just do for w/e reason.

I swear I don't know what you're talking about. The Instagram pictures that I post are always small in size and very light to load. Stop it please.

Tosin007, I'm not going to blame you for not getting it and going off with your stupid examples. You are one of the denser ones: opaquely child-like. My opinion, and by education (yes its obvious) its much more informed than yours could ever be.

Look man, over the past year or so you've really built yourself a well deserved reputation as a grade-A dumbass. Not only dumb, but obnoxiously, arrogantly dumb. You've burned a lot of bridges with people who tried to direct you into a more enlightened path. If you think people are just going to forgive and forget and allow you to say whatever you want, you can forget it.

From now on, try to make all of your future posts as semi-intelligent as possible, because you've got your work cut out for you and it will take a long time before people tolerate or take you seriously again. The honeymoon period is over champ and insensitive off the cuff posts like that are apparently not doing you any favours.

Well if that's the way u feel about it then u got what u wanted I'm never posting on these boards EVER again & that is because I HATE
the fact that I have to police my actions or how I feel about a subject or TOPIC Simply because it's not politically correct or it makes people feel too "butt-hurt".
Deal with it! In Life people are going to say things u don't agree with, your the one that needs to grow up, honestly I am ashamed by everyone on these boards.
@ first I thought u could take constructive criticism but I guess u guys can't goodbye & good riddance!
