You know, Brendan, I think each & every blogger of the Brother’s Brick are involved with Builders Lounge to some degree, well done for providing me with a good laugh this morning!

I learned a new word today: “snide.” Yay

And I reserve the right to mock erroneous snide comments ;)

I’m hardly one to go criticising their existence. That said I don’t think this post is really the place for making them about Builder’s Lounge as neither I nor the commentators here have anything to do with its running. You do have your own blog where you can make a whole post about it. It’s not unprecedented.

That was the link I was referring to. For some reason the first time I posted the comment, with the correct link, it did not show. And I realized the error the second time, and posted a follow-up correcting it, which also apparently failed to show up, and when I think about it this isn’t the first time this has happened (must be a WordPress bug…)

And I reserve the right to make snide comments about private, elitist bullcrap as long as it exists in this community. :D

Yeah I knew that, Dan, but given the way he wrote it I wasn’t going to leave such a glaring mistake go uncommented. “The BL link is private” would have been more informative and covered up for the error.

The lighting is identical for the two photos as they were taken about 1min apart on a sunny day with minimal cloud. The camera, unfortunately, ‘corrects’ things and has no way to switch the ‘feature’ off that I’ve found.

I believe he was referring to the Builders Lounge link, which is the the Techniques & Ideas subforum, which is private.

I believe the main problem with your second picture is that you have so much light that the headlights and the white tile blend in with the background.

The Publishing forum on Classic-Castle.com has several threads that discuss lighting, photography, and photo editing techniques.

I believe everyone in the world can see the link you gave. Perhaps you meant some other link, possibly a photography thread that I didn’t realise wasn’t public. Try being right when you’re being snide and it will work out better for you.

What is exactly the point of posting a link that all of ~70 people can actually view?

If we ever change to Brothers Weave I’d use it.

Actually my camera has the crappiest colour balance in the world so the white background makes it mess the colours up. I’d usually edit it to restore the true colours but for the example I wanted to leave it.

I like the first picture better.
