Hi All
OK, before I start I know that I will get some flack from what I'm about to say, well so be it, but I would like to voice my opinion on the subject of responses to Deep Sky Images.
Images on Deep Sky, yep mine included, are the work of the individual, and, or the combined effort of a couple, partner, or the like.
To make a long story short, I, as most others encourage the contributer on their efforts, and rightly so, and to be honest, we look at these images and say, (well done) (fantastic) (great Effort) (nice) etc,etc, and they are.
It is true, as a beginner, like myself, to get something recorded that we can see is a mile stone of our efforts, and we should be proud of these small achievements as we progress.
So, would it not be better to respond to a new persons image with something like, OK, that is great, but if you did this, or did this, or processed like this, rather than, great image, nice, good effort,
OK guys, probably, what I'm saying is this, tell people if they need help, or advise where to go, or improve their images. rather than, Nice, Great Effort,
and then think to yourself, well i just did that to encourage.
Encouragement is great, but help is better.
OK, boy, am I in trouble.
Cheers Leon
