stunsworth Posted November 1, 2007 Share #21 Posted November 1, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Six bottle of any Euro beer is enought to turn anyone off steve. Northern hemisphere just doesnt understand good beer. Normally it only takes one bottle to turn people off me, often none at all. Ahh, I see what you mean, perhaps that first sentence should begin with "Steve" followed by a comma rather than end with "Steve" <grin>. Don't forget I've been to Oz, I've drunk VB. I know about Australian beer! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest malland Posted November 1, 2007 Share #23 Posted November 1, 2007 Carsten, some ten years ago they started marketing Stella, one of the most common and cheapest Belgian beers, in chichi New York bars as a super-premium beer at $9-12 a glass — who would have thunk it? As for the original subject of this thread, my views are not worth the paper their written on and don't deserve any reply. —Mitch/Paris Flickr: Photos from Mitch Alland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speenth Posted November 1, 2007 Share #26 Posted November 1, 2007 Six bottle of any Euro beer is enought to turn anyone off steve. Northern hemisphere just doesnt understand good beer. Good God Rob, what are you on about!! In the bleak frozen north of Europe, when for half the year its dark at every hour except midday and the wind is howling around your bits, there is little else to do but take dramatic pictures of the gathering storm, or go to the pub. The discovery of hops preceded the discovery of silver halides, thus beer-making has advanced even further than photography. This is particularly the case in the far frozen north (i.e north of Frankfurt) because in the dark ages before photography there was nothing else to do but go to the pub. Down south (i.e. south of Frankfurt) they make stuff from grapes because they have long daylight hours to sit and watch the vines growing. The vineyards are pretty to photograph and the juice is pleasant to drink - but it doesn't do what a good porter, stout, ale or best bitter does. This is why the best photographers comes from up north - undisputable fact. Carsten's right - the Brits make the best beer and the north Germans and the Belgians are quickly getting the hang of it. ... and by the way, every opinion and every level of experience and skill should be able to post on this forum - we all have something to learn from everybody else.

tom0511 Posted November 1, 2007 Share #30 Posted November 1, 2007 I think one thing people often oversee is the following: If something is working fine and the way you expect it to work you dont need help. So normally in this case people dont post. You could post in this case but it would be more like"I love my M8","look at my great images", or " look what the lens yyy can do" But as soon as someone gets stuck somewhere with a problem he/she would typically ask others for help. Also, as we know from other grouos its allways easier to live with a problem if you know you are not alone. So for me its just logic that there are more "negative" threads than positive. If we keep the real trolls away, I also think that overall there is more stuff to learn from in those threads. I know that the M8 is a good camera.I dont need people who repeat to say how great it is. For me its just more helpfull to talk with people how to overcome/solve the few shortcomings. Personally I find it much worse if people want to discuss a problem (the reason might be to either find a solution or to put some pressure on Leica to find a solution , for example better quality check regarding focus adjustment of bodies and lenses), and other call them trolls, or ignore the problem (like saying "did you check your eyes", or callingh those people whiners or whatever). Sometimes it seems to me an attitude like "oh, this bad boy sad something wrong about my baby M8" instead of telling my how sweet my little baby is.

Speenth Posted November 1, 2007 Share #31 Posted November 1, 2007 ...............nahhh...we learnt nuthin about bears from you......... Hi Stnami, You're right - I wouldn't know a brown bear from a teddy bear. I don't know much about beer either - I just like drinking the stuff. The trouble is I live in central Europe now and it is quite difficult to find good northern European-style, dark, warm, thick, creamy, chewy, strong-smelling, glass-staining, bowel-activating real ale. For that one has to be north of Frankfurt and south of Hadrian's Wall (now I am really in trouble .... every Scot will feel obliged to disagree - bring em on) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea to hide it from the sheilas though. Of course this is about as OT as you can get, but when the subject turns to bear (aka beer) I can't resist.

Guest Bernd Banken Posted November 1, 2007 Share #36 Posted November 1, 2007 the secret of StreetPhotography is very simple: Relax, get a positive mood and load your camera and yourself. Exposure time not longer than 1/500 please, therefore a Noctilux is strongly recommended. Cheers Bernd Welcome, dear visitor!

Speenth Posted November 1, 2007 Share #38 Posted November 1, 2007 Ever tried Orkney Dark Island....? :) I knew it wouldn't take long! Can you get it in Vienna? I suspect it would need to come by packet steamer from Orkney, then via camel train across the beer-deserts of Western Europe to our little oasis in Osterreich (the Austrians do have a couple of decent brews). Either that, or I go to Orkney and take a few pictures while I'm there - I probably travel better than the beer. I visited an interesting micro-brewery on Arran once - three nice beers, dark, pale and blond, good, but not stunning - unlike the scenery on this tiny, but lovely island. This must stop - first all this talk of beer is making me pine for my homeland (which is certainly not Australia) and second we'll have the Topic Police after us ...

Speenth Posted November 1, 2007 Share #39 Posted November 1, 2007 Hi' Stnami, Brilliant! A well researched and timely justification of your proposition. Australians do indeed make good bears - shame about their beer though. The image needs a little post-processing - its lacking in tonal range - most noticeably the amber part of the spectrum.
