A miller Posted December 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted December 18, 2015 I agree. You have some really interesting photos on your flickr stream. Bravo. I am not sure what the purpose of your flickr stream is. But if it is for you to showcase your best work as world-class "interesting" photography, I believe that it would deb possible to do this because many do exist in your collection. Having said this, there are also many photos that don't pass the test (at least in my humble opinion). So in this case I would suggest pruning your collection in a major way. There is no way that I (or most others) am going to flip through more than 50 or so photos (some interesting and some not so much), and you have well over a thousand. So as a result of having so many, I can't get through it all. My loss, for sure, but you might be missing the opportunity to let the world see your best work, which is one of the nice things about Flickr. I also am confused as to why you chose the photos for this thread, which aren't nearly as strong as many others in your collection. In any case, have fun, good luck, and I'd love for you to share more. Happy holidays, Adam Miller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Ricoh Posted December 19, 2015 Share #6 Posted December 19, 2015 I've had a look part way through your Flickr album and there's some excellent work for all to see, if they have the time to go through the entire collection, that is. I'm also impressed that a large number where taken using a film camera, and clearly you know how to use a RF effectively. If I was half as good technically and artistically I would be mightily pleased with myself!! I think Adam is correct, yet again, and I take it as a wake up call to cull my own Flickr album. In your case if you trimmed your album to say 50 to 100 of your finest photographs, you'd have a list of followers longer than your arm! I've liked and commented on a few, but ran out of time to have a look at everything available. Ive made a note to return and finish the job when I have more time. Cheers, Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be a bit pretentious to try that Leica waste time looking at my flick, I apologize for that, is cietto many pictures are made with TriX 400 and a Leica MP, the 500 is my main goal, it is my way of see and watch, the portrait is my first experience at the portrait and the portrait on location. Take photographs while walking on sidewalks and while the others are also walking, very few are standing. I just wanted to ask people their opinions of experts and see the way to finally send my humble work to Leica. For now I'll clean my flickr according to their advice, you know more than I photograph, honest advice is valuable, I appreciate this. When I polish my flickr shall ask them their opinion. Thank you very much for everything, I still hear ........ Happy year and happy life for all of you. Nice to hear your response (and efforts to write it in English, which was very clear). I would second the comment that Steve made above which is that you should take steps to review very carefully your large volume of photos and reduce it to no more than 50-75. How do you do this in the most objective way? I find that the best way to get the most objective input from the world at larger is to: 1. not follow anyone on flickr 2. not collect any "favorites" 3. not make any comments on other peoples' photos This may seem anti-social and counterintuitive in terms of marketing your collection and attracting positive attention and energy. But it is the only way to get peoples' honest and objective opinions about your photos. Anyone whom you follow or whose photos you "fav" or comment on will invariably feel obliged to do the same for you just for the sake of being nice. But this is not helpful information for you if you really want to know if and to what extent your photos have broad public appeal. If you establish yourself as someone who doesn't reciprocate, then receiving followers, favorites and comments from people will be as close to the truth as you can get to knowing how publicly "interesting" your photos are and which ones are the 'goals' and which are not as interesting as you might have thought. The next thing you should do is join as many photo groups as possible (and I mean hundreds) that contain photos and members of similar tastes as your photos, provided the groups have a sufficient number of members (I usually will look for over a thousand, but if the genre is specific enough (such as flash street photography) I will lower the threshold to, say 500). In your case, you would want to join all the groups relating to Leica (and the types of lens you use), B&W photography, street photography, contrast, portraiture, fashion, beauty, city life - provided they have sufficiently high number of members. I would then suggest that you submit your photos to these groups and wait for feedback - and in your case it should come in a big way. After about 3-4 weeks of having your photos in these groups, your strongest photos will clearly emerge above the rest. I would choose a threshold # of favorites (such as 30-50) and remove all photos that receive favorites less than this amount (after the 3-4 week period). It may take a good 3-4 weeks for the photos to be comprehensively viewed by the flickr community, so I wouldn't draw any conclusions regarding your photos until after this period of time. If you see that, after following the process outlined above, you have more than 75 photos that have more than 30-50, favorites, I would increase the threshold so that you are left with no more than 75. (And as you add more photos, you should look to remove photos from your existing collection that are relatively weak in terms of positive feedback) And no matter what do not give in to the temptation to return what might instinctively seem to be an act of kind by following someone who chooses to follow you or add someone's photos to your favorites collection who has done the same to you. What people are doing should not be viewed as an act of kindness, but rather a keen interest in keeping up with your work and showing off your photos to their friends and followers. You should embrace this and stick to your rule of not following anyone or collecting any favorites. An exception that I make is to respond to any favorable comments made on my photos with a short and simple "thank you." No need to explain how the shot was taken, or what the conditions were, or what you ate for breakfast and how that affected your mood that day. You get me? This entire process may take several months. But these are the secret ingredients that will get you what you want. I am happy to provide my comprehensive input on all of your photos if you would like to engage me on a consultation basis. I don't think this will be necessary if you follow the steps that I have outlined above. Feliz Navidad and best of luck, Adam Miller Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your advice is very much appreciated! I share your experience on Flickr. The algorithm and people's response is puzzling me all the time, but a few rules are certainly there and you outlined them very clearly. Many thanks!

the warrior Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share #16 Posted December 23, 2015 Of course, if a photographer does everything to please everyone more photographers are not necessary, only a photographer for the entire planet. Good photos. You use a 24mm ?? Thanks bro. Perhaps dramatize my photos and more are closer, I shot a 21mm 1 meter away ...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted December 23, 2015 Share #17 Posted December 23, 2015 I wouldn't go wider than 28mm. I used to use flash more but have realized that the pulsation effect was not satisfying enough for me; so I have moved on. An exception to this is extreme weather, such as snow blizzards. I LOVE the effect of flash in the street during snow blizzards (particularly with color film), and will continue to develop a body of "work" in this area...

the warrior Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share #18 Posted December 24, 2015 I recently sold my 28mm, now I have the 21mm ASPH, I feel more comfortable here.Greetings and happy holidays to all. I use my copies in paper-fabric Canvas 400g museum, I like the fabric.My printer is an Epson 3880, it is sufficient for this. Double exposure but .... with Leica MP.
