    So you have what?

    In any case those images don't show anything unless you provide the raw files so that anyone interested can look at them in RawDigger.

    my quote from another post

    i took the advice from another member and did some test shots with his in camera settings then i re calibrated the camera exposure settings and BOOOOOOM camera histogram and zebras match the raw file well as close as could be, took 500 posts. Im going out now to shoot some images and reset my camera back to what im used to as the original settings give 1/2 stop leeway.

    Oh dear, you still have no idea what a raw histogram is or how to use it.

    I didn't ask for a raw histogram so I don't know what you are rambling on about.

    What I posted is

    Hopefully one day you will understand the potential benefits of maximising the quality of the raw data allowing images of higher quality to be created compared to sooc jpegs.

    They will look good on a wall just about anywhere as long as they're not printed too big. The second image is distractingly a bit mushy in some places, especially around the eyes. The others probably are as well. I haven't looked.

    But all 3 have the annoying and distracting reflection of the camera or other equipment in their eyes. But that is easy to fix in post if you wanted to.

    This is going off topic and you know how i hate off topic topics 🤨

    thats exactly what the 5000 voters said on the DPR challengers when i got 1st place 🙄 you see a great image is when 50% like them and 50% hate them that means you hit the nail on the head. Im afraid its human society these days.

    I have to admire both your honesty and stamina regarding the 500th post in this thread!

    Generally claims of fame using just the DPR Challenges as a justification generally carries very little weight.

    If you look through the threads there for the last 5 years or so you will see it is littered with threads highlighting the cheating, sandbagging, vote rigging and the flaws in DPR voting system.

    Yes, the better images still tend to float up to anywhere in the top 10 notwithstanding the above issues with the challenges.

    Can you post the link to the challenge where you claim you won?

    I doubt there were anywhere near 5000 voters in your challenge. On average, historically the number of voters per challenge entry is a single digit.

    @DonaldB

    Maybe those were your entries and maybe they were not. Maybe they are the ones you posted and maybe they aren't.

    Your screenshot doesn’t even show who submitted those entries.

    Either way, you have not told the truth on too many occasions at least in this thread for me to not question your honesty and integrity. But that's just me :-)

    I would have thought if you make claims then it is on you to prove them if you want people to believe you.

    You haven't posted the link to that challenge and I suspect it's because those entries were not submitted by you.

    It is unreasonable to expect me to just take your word for it given you have not told the truth on too many occasions.

    Why are you scared to post the link to that challenge?
