So I tried x-processing some Ektachrome EPJ 160T, and came up with a shot a quite like here: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1843166 the tech details are on the page, but the thing I'm a bit annoyed with is that despite me loving the result, noone else seems to share the sentiment (judging by the measly ratings). I like the blown out highlights (dare I say bokeh..) and the saturated colours amongst other things. So what's wrong with it?
For a moment I thought maybe it was just a bad photograph and hours of staring at the screen and the photo had made it look better in my mind. Then in a conspiracy theory mode I thought it was Canon users snubbing a Pentax user, and I checked, and yes! all the bad ratings were done by damn Canoners! So I went to check one of my better pics: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1659027 and though the majority of non Canoners were more lenient, it so turned out that some Canon users gave good ratings too- but.. Canon users accounted for more than 95% of the names of people who even bothered to give a rating. We all know photonet's P.Greenspun doesn't have many good things to say about the Pentax camp, but could it be it's just one huge undercover Canon society? How do we curb this infestation! Rgds, Ryan PS. All in jest.. nothing against Canonites.. just a bit confused with my photo's rating that's all :( didn't think it was that bad..
