That's really cool hoax,I see comparing the two that the roof has been redone and some new trees
have grown behind the building.History before my eyes.

You make the assumption that the painter painted the scene exactly as it appeared. I high doubt that is the case. If the painter was just painting the scene exactly as it appeared, they would just photograph it (I doubt they would snap a picture though Ovah.)

The painter starts with a blank canvas and adds only those elements that supports the composition and moves around elements so they appear in the eye of the rectangle and places entire elements higher and lower to conform to the rules of painting.

 

[Catatonic]

Oh come on. There IS no comparison.

One person snaps a picture and walks away.
One person takes days to create that image.

I like the painting better.

Now that you have exposed your ignorance of what photography is, I can assure you I have not "snapped" a picture in over twenty years. Ask my wife, I drive her crazy photographing a scene which may take 5 - 30 minutes or longer while she snaps a picture in 15 secs ... she use to think her snapshots were just as good.

 

[menotyou]

I liked the painting. It was no reflection on your photography, Hoke. You take beautiful pictures.

You know, it was never suppose to be a conflict......Stug just wondered where he had seen that shot before and I wanted to help him. I knew it was a poster/painting many times over.

This scene has been painted thousands of times.
Photographed tens of thousands of times.
And snapped hundreds of thousands of times ... probably ovah a million times.

I hear ya! Have had my wife and kids get up and walk away frequently. They tell me it takes WAY to long for me to take a photograph. Only when they see the finished product do they undwerstand.

There you go ... I didn't think of that but it would have been perfect. Come to think of it, he may be a Jane.

My story is way less grand, than all the banter, in here. I was being sarcastic at Hoax, because I saw his picture on facebook, before he posted it here, LOL. I'm so lame.

Maybe you saw this painting of it before..................

Historic Barn, Mormon Row and Teton Mountain Range, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, USA

by Michele Falzone Item #: 6220465

This is funny.

I just realized that this is actually a picture of another barn about a quarter mile south of the one I took a picture of. I have picture of it too.

Look at the windows and the fencing.

Good discussion though.

I think I'll just let this one die down. I'll put it on Facebook for SteveTUG.

 

[satellitedriver]

I would be so lost in a converstaion with you, Steve, though i am glad to know you, oh, and that your name is also, Steve, LOL.

Baloney,
PM me your phone number.
I will call you and prove that we could easily communicate.
Just to warn you, DS says my voice sounds like Dusty Hill from ZZTOP fame.

Forgive me my opinion that the painting is better.

No need to insult me, TOS.

 

[menotyou]

That's a poke I felt in NY!

You misunderstood my friend. I thought you were poking fun at me by saying that my photography was snapping a picture.

That is a common joke/jab among photographers to say that a captured image is a nice snapshot.

That is why I bolded and highlighted in red the word snap.

Perhaps you were insulting me in your ignorance of this inside joke.

PS - from Webster - lack of knowledge, education, or awareness in this case of what photography. So my use of "ignorance" here is not a slander but appropriate appraisal of your understanding of what a photographer does. We never, ever snap pictures.

Yeah, Stupid !!!

Winchesters don't sweat; they perspire! And besides that, they don't perspire.

 

[stevetheupsguy]

Yeah, Stupid !!!

That's,
Stooo-Pid!

That's what Ansel Adam's lackey, that carried his equipment, said.
Actually he said,
" Waiting in the cold for three freakin days, for the right cloud to float by."

I'm not that bad but a couple of hours is certainly within reason.
