Funny things RICErs say (radically immature car enthusiasts)

My point was that even an uninflated tire has air in it. It isn't a vacuum, so it makes the whole nitrogen thing kind of pointless when there's already 78% nitrogen air in the tire either way. You can't get rid of air in the tire, just slightly improve the nitrogen to oxygen ratio. And whether or not that makes any sort of improvement in the driving is quite questionable.

Even if it made a difference, would anyone even notice? It's just a bit of a pointless activity really.
 
Yes, all of the on-lookers were highly impressed.. until I called the police about unsafe "stunt driving" which is actually illegal in Canada - people get a lot of tickets for it.

...but stopping in the middle of a public road to get a shaky-hand picture of your car is a prime example of road safety, naturally.

Unless it's closed, you live on the street and there's no traffic except for one car every like four hours...


I love construction season. All of the roads are closed, leading to one-way traffic flow open to only local traffic (I.e. people living on the street)

So what you're saying is...

Don't forget his perfect exposure.
 
It's not public road if it's closed, is it?

If you can drive on it without a special permit and other people can to get "local" access, including delivery drivers and such, it is a public road.

It also still a public road if it isn't on private land or operated privately.

Basically, you're wrong, on all accounts. Of course, this wouldn't matter if you weren't trying to play the "I'm a good guy because I called the cops on some people revving their engines." Your hypocrisy never fails to amaze.
 
If a store is closed, is it open to public?

Nope.

It is also a privately owned business, not a government operated property that multiple people rely on to get to their private property. Again, if a road is "closed" but has local access, it is still publicly accessible, and thus still public.

EDIT: Also, good job on changing your avatar to a low res helmet. It is better than the underexposed, blurry, "art we don't get" photo.
 
And you wouldn't take the opportunity to take a nice photo on the side of the road that no one was using because the road is also a one-way road because of the construction etc.?


Radically immature car enthusiast: [Azuremen]"Hi, I'm North Korean government. Photos are a terrible thing, you're not allowed to take them. Only I am allowed to take photos, because I'm a "professional photographer." Whatever that is. You are not worthy of taking photos, amateur. You take terrible photos because you're not a professional.[/azuremen]


And you're totally right. I am not allowed to take photos. Nope nope nope, I'm serving jail time right now for it. I love jail, the WiFi is great.



:lol:
 
I know, right? Azuremen patrolling the internet, telling people which photos and avatars they're not allowed to post. The definition of immature.
 
And you twisting what he said to fit your own weak insult suggesting he's comparable with dictator Kim Jong Un who starves his people (whom he also treats as Victorian era peasants), threatens military superpowers without thoughts for the actual consequences and has his country focus on military activities over helping the country prosper.
 
Have you heard about their policy on cameras? I'm specifically referring to their policy on cameras. They think cameras are evil - they bring photos from outside of their propaganda-sphere. Evil cameras.


Azuremen should just let people take the photos that they want to without shoving criticism down people's throats.
 
And you wouldn't take the opportunity to take a nice photo on the side of the road that no one was using because the road is also a one-way road because of the construction etc.?

You realize the only reason this started is because you cool storied us about calling the cops on some guys revving their engines, because "safety." If you weren't trying to boast about being a buzzkill, I doubt anyone would have mentioned your mediocre avatar and the fact you parked it on a public road to take it.

As for the rest of your rant, I love when people take pictures. I also love when they realize their short comings in doing so and don't try to justify poor work as "art" and then use technically terms incorrectly. Your use of the term overexposure is pretty much on par with some kid claiming his Civic was drifting because the front tires spun. Yeah.

I know, right? Azuremen patrolling the internet, telling people which photos and avatars they're not allowed to post. The definition of immature.

I don't care what images or avatars you post. I was being snarky about your claim of "the best photo of my car in a while" being a blurry, unexposed shot with little thought of the composition, stating that your time of purchase photos looked much better. You then went off defending it as art and a bunch of other terms you don't know the meaning of, ultimately ending with personal attacks.

Art isn't about rules and regulations. It's about capturing the creativity of the mind.

...and it is still better than your own avatar, which I'd say is over-exposed. Nice curtains. :rolleyes:

But by all means, invoke Godwin's Law 2.0 and compare me to a brutal dictator. While insulting my hair.

Azuremen should just let people take the photos that they want to without shoving criticism down people's throats.

You realize people come to me to learn about photography, right?

But instead you've decided to endless take everything as an attack, use horrible analogies to defend yourself, ultimately falling back to personal attacks and "I'm the victim" claims.
 
Go critique some other professionals... Leave the car enthusiasts to be car enthusiasts. I don't care about professional photography, I know what I like and I'm not trying to impress you.


And, yes, your my little pony hair is odd.


And, calling the police on a guy driving around, standing up in his sunroof is totally the wrong thing to do. I don't care about reving engines. I care about people driving around with their entire upper body hanging loosely out of the sunroof. Do you think that's acceptable?



And I know what "over-exposed" means - your avatar (meant to resemble a starry night) is actually a black and white curtain. If your photo weren't over-exposed, I wouldn't be able to tell that you're standing in front of Minnie the Mouse's skirt.

No, probably not trying to impress me. But going into the Infield to boast about the "best" shot of your car was certainly effort to impress someone. But someone hasn't come forward.

Also, pretty sure I'm a car enthusiast. Certainly more so if we go by history of vehicles owned, and modifications made to said vehicles.

Wot m8?

Was he on public roads? Was it the driver standing out the sunroof? If some yahoo wants to be the passenger and stand out the top, I don't see who it is gonna hurt but themselves when things go wrong.

Well, since it isn't a sheet and those are white dots, but rather a black matte and a LED lights, sure. Oh, and it wasn't going for the starry night look either. Oh, oh, the histogram has virtually no data loss in the highlights, and I was exposing for my face not the "curtain."

But good effort, Ansel.

The arguments make this thread even better IMO. Further proves the thread title's point.
Incorrect. It's petty and growing more and more tiresome.

Both parties are acting like pit bulls fighting over a bone and neither wants to give up.

My suggestion - give up. Post haste.

And to make sure they see this - @ITCC_Andrew @Azuremen
 
I'm not sure that this qualifies, but I did find a couple people in the video silly.


The Prius guy with the empty license plate holder :lol:. They looks so terrible when you are in a state like Kentucky that doesn't require front plates.
 
Idiot guys, braggers, yaps about cars they may or may not own, and full-of-themselves Prius drivers that taut how much money they save on fuel while destroying the environment more than the Ferrari he is putting down because he's a dick.

How I do not envy supercar owners for this.

There's actually a lot of truth to that; the Prius is being driven much more that the Ferrari so theoretically it's releasing more carbon.
