Guest stnami Posted April 8, 2007 Share #44 Posted April 8, 2007 Karanski Sister the Elder was in ward 003........... ah she was was such fun doing tricks with ping pong balls, Mick and Ralene always brought a slab of cold ones and watched us play , those days are past now. Such dramatic changes in the wards of late, but I must say it is a honour to have such a worthy Knight of the Realm gracing our mere institution Sir Johannes of the Lovere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapp Posted April 8, 2007 Share #45 Posted April 8, 2007 Dear Steve and Andy, As my wife often says: "Learn f**ing German, why don't you!" but as I live in a German speaking country, she has a point... I visit occasionally but have not posted there (too embarrarssed by my bad German). But you are right - the photo is only half the story. Allan Brewer posts in both - wonder what he has to say about this? It is a problem with British education - IMHO. Foreign language teaching back in the 70's was as useful and as exciting as reading a book about it. Tschüss Ravi PS - and yes, I now visit the German forum whereas I never did before Well, I appreciate the English forum a lot more than the German counterpart. Even as a native speaker of German, I find a lot more information right here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be our sole mission to keep the imaginary state of such alive in the imaginary part of our brain-blob. Failure of doing so results in losing all imagination, the only thing oneself can ever trust and question, upon questioning, the answers maybe such that analysis of the initial content will not result in distrust for both the question and the answers were ours to begin with. Very much like photography actually Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NZDavid Posted April 10, 2007 Share #51 Posted April 10, 2007 Just catching up. Thanks Andy for the umlaut advice. Very useful!

rnocke Posted April 10, 2007 Share #52 Posted April 10, 2007 I don't really fancy a merger of the two sub-forums into one. Be it just because I'm not a fan of those "one size fits all" games. But predominatly I really don't feel a need for this. More interaction between the German-speaking and the international community is great. But this is already happening! Many of the Germans are already posting in the intl. section since long, without any hurdle. And so far each English posting in the German section has attracted friendly responses, too, as English is widely understood in Germany. As this is the official (well, at least the most official available) Leica Forum there should be a German section, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dist Posted April 10, 2007 Share #53 Posted April 10, 2007 I am not implying that the German site is "Unfriendly" ..... I am refering to the "over-friendlyness" of the intl. forum. A large percentage of postings here are the "great's" "thank-you's" "marvelously done" "thanks for sharing" etc..... Well, I don't know... often, in the German photo section the comments are downright insulting. You post a photo, you get " > /dev/nul" as a reply. Not only is this overly geeky ("Hey, Windows a**hole, I'm a Unix geek, I know what the rubbish bin is called in Unix lingo!") but unfriendly, and that's putting it mildly. While I agree that sometimes the intl. forum is overly friendly, I'll rather have that than the acrid, spiteful and sometimes downright insulting comments you find in the German forum. Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, What to say, of course you are right. But then I browse through the Intl. gallery and as in the German part there are loads of "awful" images to be found. Now I would much rather have my "awful" picture being insulted than having it praised as the best thing since sliced bread. The thing that strikes me that there are a number of (self called) Intl. Pro-Photogrpahers who produce images that.... well are not all that good, where as any German self called pro produces good images, I do think there is a difference of quality, maybe the Intl. pro's are not the pro's they set out to be.... apart from the "knowledge" they distribute at a rate of 6,71 posts a day on average over the past 3 years or so ..... (know what I mean) I would love to post some links but this might be "not done" I find if a German member "shouts from the top of the church tower" so to speak it is usually backed up back good information and a nice gallery of "professional" shots, shots I would like to actually make myself some day. .... Not so in the international forum. Maybe the standards in the US (oops) are set a trifle lower .... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stnami Posted April 10, 2007 Share #55 Posted April 10, 2007 Pretty much as in agreement with you Johannes , but on many occassions if you critique on the int. forum some gather up their cronies and a stream of great, fantastic comments appear about a very poor photo.Visually and more so conceptually the German photo forum presents far superior images. The worst offender of the feeble photo is in the Int. Digital forum........... ........................ many will disagree but sunsets, babies and trite nude shots belong in the lougeroom at home................. most images of car parks are more interesting than that lot. Still it is an improvement on the initial m8 shots of walls, feet and vases. ...........................Then again it is not hard to figure out who takes crap images and who actually cares about their craft beyond mediocrity whether be it as a pro or enthusiast Threads such as Timothy's, though not a fantastic image and fails to deliver the intent die as few are willing to go beyond the obvious. But there is heaps of potential there http://www.leica-camera-user.com/film-forum/21107-digital-negatives-silver-printing-alternative-processes.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
