Constructive Critique Requested •2 replies•122 views
Uwe Deutermann avatar
It is always hard to read some criticism, and usually one avoids to write them when you see something that is not quite right. BUT … with a place like this everybody who will post something here expects it, and that is for the critic good to know! So I will take my time here to look at every post, if it does not go ballistic 😊😊😊. And I will post as well 😊😊.

I LOVE this idea too! I tremendously appreciate the civility of astrobin members, but I agree that one does not tend to criticize in case it offends somebody. However, I would love to improve my astrophotography, so I do want constructive critiques!

Also, perhaps this is also a good venue to discuss certain things, such as the use of AI, or an artistic conception of astrophotography. I have nothing against the "realistic" or "artistic" way of processing, but I have heard comment from people that do not necessarily appreciate one or the other point of view, or that field that people are not disclosing the use of those tools. I really think that those things are resolved by talking about them!

Uwe, I got the idea for this group from our discussion on your image https://www.astrobin.com/rognyl/   how about that! 

Thanks Vivian, like you I want to improve.  There is such a wealth of experience and talent in this sharing community.  Their civility, etiquette and politeness is admirable indeed.  Astrobin is a great example of how social media can and should work.   -john
