Atlanta SX Pictorial

Edited Date/Time 1/25/2012 7:40am
So I was looking over at Motonews at this little pictorial thread of Atlanta SX:

http://www.motonews.com/index.php?optio ... 94&catid=4

And While there are some good pictures in that thread, IMO most of them suck for a variety of reasons. Grainy, dark, overuse of the fisheye, out of focus, etc.

Not very characteristic of TOE, his stuff is usually really kick ass and typically look forward to his seeing his stuff. But being that its my opinion, I think most of those suck. He even jacked up the best one with the painted chick with all the color motion blur stuff.

But my point of this message isn't really to bag on his pics so much, but to ask why does everyone flat out LIE and tell him how great all those shots are? How is he going to get better if everyone just tells him everything he shoots is greatest stuff ever?

Maybe I am blind or my computer screen is messed up....I dunno.

Yeh yeh, I'm an asshole and if I can do better maybe I should be out there doing it....blah blah blah.

My guess is that the reason they seem "grainy" is more of the pyro smoke issue, not a "grain" issue. I'm sure Toe will correct me if I am wrong.

i 2nd that, RC did his laps right after the (imo) stupid firecracker rope. the haze\smoke hung in the air for a good 5 minutes. i love the fire, even the cheasy laser show on the ceiling but i could of done without all that smoke. it was cool the first time i saw it but im over it now.

At least someone agrees with me that they don't look right. Least I am not totally crazy.

What you say sucks, I think looks pretty good. If you have a legitimate critique of TOE's stuff, let him know, he may be pretty receptive. Otherwise you're just bitching and that won't help him "get better" either.
