I think the points that are being made are not intended to pick out any 'individuals' as such, just the overall general trend this thread has 'dumbed down' to, I mean over 11000 posts!!!!!
come on.
The OP has clearly stated all the points about preview size and regardless of internet speeds there is NO NEED whatsoever to post full size pics here....( or in any other thread actually ) Just see the quality of the early days' stuff compared to today.
The 'realism' thing is another bone of contention with most people who like to drop in here from time to time ..myself included... and I find that I'm picking out
1 or 2 posts per page worthy of being here. What you may consider an amazing photo doesn't necessarily maketh a "real" photo
Andrezz had a point ... and a good old rant lol...but I feel his frustration so please understand why members like bmxmitch felt the need to start up another thread ... credibilty here is low sadly. my 2 cents has well and truly been spent :/
