Have to agree Steen , not sure what field that came from but made no sense to me at least.

Thank you Steen
Bruce Gilden - and after all, it's only my opinion, lots of people like him. My intention was only to congratulate Jorgen on his great photos. Tough to be slagged off for being complimentary!
grrrr!

Frankly I love what Jorgen has been shooting , just has a nice feel to it.

A couple of more "IR Street"
a couple of non IR (D200)
30/1.4 Sigma @f/1.4
Zeiss S-Planar 120/4 with tilt @ f/8 and 8 deg tilt
Though the number is small (at the moment), there are some excellent photogs here. And what Jono said about too much aggression is the world is gold.
Jorgen, You are good.
I appreciate your (and Jack's) forum Guy.

I definitely overreacted, and apologies for this to you Jono. But I do have something to say, and will try and do it more calmly. Jono, I've sent you a private message trying to explain myself, and in order to try and avoid creating a flame war (but if you want you can post it publicly).

I miss Mitch on this forum. He had a different way of seeing, and a different way of expressing himself. That made the streets of Bangkok look different from what I see through my eyes, and a great inspiration.
Focal length has always been a theme with regards to street photography. I've ended up with 85mm on DX, and would probably have used a 135mm on FX. That leaves enough distance for people to feel comfortable, and mostly to keep doing what they do. In Asia, people pose for photos ("You didn't say one, two, three!"), particularly if I get too close. The extra focal length also gives a bit of "compression" of the perspective, moving people and things closer together, something that I personally like, but obviously, others may think differently.
Too me, it's also a question of respect. During three days in Hanoi, I shot 1,700 individual photos, but that is nothing compared to all the photos that I did not take, mainly because it became apparent that the subject didn't want his or her photos taken.
Getting comments and criticism is obviously one of the reasons to post on a forum like this, and I'm very thankful for all the feedback here. Hopefully we'll all be here for quite a while, enjoying each other's work. Thank you everyone!
And Vivek, that b&w one with the girl over the shoulder is great
Here's another one. Don't ask, I didn't

That's nice. Thanks.
I have the following problem though:
"jonoslack has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space."
So I sent the message to the email on your website.

Jono has to clean out his inbox. I can't do that on the back end

Yes Indeed, and I've had a very graceful email discussion with Sizifo. I won't go into details, but we've certainly done much better than 'agreeing to differ'!
How civilised
Agreed, agreed, and I apologize again. Also, I realized today it may look like I was trying to attack Jorgen's photography, but this really wasn't the case. Well, the motivation for my ill-advised outburst is pretty well summarized byYes Indeed, and I've had a very graceful email discussion with Sizifo.

Well glad it all worked out instead of taking your ball and going to play somewhere else. Too many don't want to discuss anything and walk away. As far as Mitch looks like he took his ball and walked away. Jack and i have sent several PM's to him, his choice what can i say. The door has been open all along.

Yep, the door is open and that's what matters. Actually our friend does log in and visit us regularly, and I'm sure he will chime in whenever he wants to. I also take a break now and then, and then suddenly I'm inspired to participate again. That's how it's all so nice and relaxed here.

Hi Steen
Let's hope he does chip in soon - I'm sure that we all miss his contribution.

Well Vid
Let's hope it encourages Mitch back again, and then it's for the best all round.
I'm sure Jorgen didn't take it as an attack on his wonderful photography.
I'm not sure whether this is apocryphal or not, but it's certainly my motto in life: My father told me that he'd read an interview with Thelonious Monk from the 50's, the interviewer had said:
