Mandy Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) I've probably got this in the wrong place but I'm sure one of the good Mods will move it .... I often look in the gallery piccies to see what and who I'm missing by not going out so often ... but what do I get ... pictures of lots of people on the dance floor .. really good if you can recognise the back of people's heads ..or if you're even luckier .. you get the faces but the photos are sooooo dark you can't see them .. can members not check their pics before they download them so we don't have to wade through photos until we can find one that we can actually make out who or what is ... moan over ...

Mark S Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I,ll probably get hung for this but here goes ........... Who wants to look at pictures of balding overweight middle aged old gits dancing we may have looked cool 30 years ago but now we just look like uncle Knobhead at a wedding As for baggies and circle skirts dont get me started .............arghhhhh ....time for a Magoo and a lie down .

You're not wrong. I agree with the original post too. The gallery can be a good thing but too often it's used without thought. A bit of editing wouldn't go amiss. I wonder what the casual viewer must think of the Rare Soul scene based on the contents of the Soul Source Gallery section. We think it impossibly cool and underground - outsiders looking at the Gallery must think it looks like a largely deserted disco for elderly mental patients taking place in a scout hut.
Dylan Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 bet your very happy m8 with chelsea winning ? i am with leics going up yes you can let us win on friday night now. last game against tranmere could be the dicider for us
Coops Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 even those images of dubious quality are a record of social history and and should be valued for this and not their aesthetic (or not) beauty. i only wish i had took loads of pics in the seventies and eighties.

The photos that paying punters take and post are snapshots of a historical moment, they are the people who take the trouble to go out and support soul events. The more the merrier and if they're not perfect who gives a flying f**k, get over it.
shute Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 What !!!! our Mandy having a moan ????? never heard of one picture is worth a thousand words ..... good name for a song that

KevH Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Not to mention polo shirts....lol Regards - Mark Bicknell in a state well Chelsea gave it to the gooners after all. Well done Mark,and i mean that most sincerely . Only decent photos are taken by Coops.Black n white. Unless the place is packed to the rafters,you never get a true feel of the venue. Apart from that,it would be a good idea to post the names of the victims,sorry people.So i can avoid them. Most look well dodgy to me with starey,scarey eyes,shirts hanging out,sweating like a gud 'un. And the men are as bad.

Guest Mrs Simsy Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 Lot's of fair comments. I must admit to being one of those who sometimes put's up crap piccys but in my defence i normally put them up the day after the nighter & therefore not always using my best judgment! I'm proud of some of the pictures that i take though, including a personal favourite of Dean Parrish singing at Crossfire last year. I know that i'll be able to show it to my grandchildren & tell them about this fantastic music from 100 years ago! Seems obvious to me but when you open someones album you can see a thumbnail of the picture along with whether they've put a name underneath it. If you don't like it, don't look..
Theresa Posted April 19, 2009 Posted April 19, 2009 I love looking at the piccies on drunken mornings and speedy Sundays - keep em coming everybody! Coops & Kerby are the snapmeisters obviously, and I do try to put names on all of mine Mandy, but sometimes I just take pictures of people I don't know because I like their dancing or the fellas are good looking or they need an immediate raid by the fashion police... When I do show any of the pics to my friends outside the soul scene, the consistent comment is 'Why is everyone bald?' Twice as many people on here look at pics of girls compared to pics of boys, have you noticed? Next time I see you out Mandy, we'll make sure that everyone's name is printed on their T-shirt, both back and front, and that they pose properly for well-lit tableaux shots which are perfectly labelled afterwards...

Mandy Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 Thanks all for the comments .. thought I'd get slaughtered for the post!!! I never mentioned putting names on piccies though, don't care about names as I can never remember them anyway after a couple of strongbows Theresa.... you bring the cellotape and I'll bring the name badges and permanent marker pen

I love yours, Coops and Kerby's pictures - yours are great because you always put a comment to describe them , always makes me laugh what you write underneath the picture! Somehow you always manage to capture the overall flavour of the night, so keep uploading! Jim from Sweden takes some fantastic pictures, I wish he'd bother to bring his camera out more often and post up, he's got a brilliant eye for capturing a moment, but he's always too pre-occupied dancing, can't blame him for that I guess...

Actually Kylie I love the photos that you put up BECAUSE you take the time to put names to faces. In fact I've learnt the names of people I've known and chatted to for years and years on the scene but was too scared to ask 'What was your name again' . I look at the gallery to spot people I know but also to see what the vibe is like at some of the clubs I'm thinking of supporting that I've never been to. Feel cheated when people post up photos of just people without showing what the dance floor action was like. I adore the old Wigan photos coz they take me back. Wish I had some photos of me and my mates from that era. Anyone with old Wigan, Yate etc featuring the Gloucester crew would be much appreciated. Keep snapping girl - me and the other aging, knobheads salute you. Cheers Warren

Maark Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 My basic rule of thumb when posting pics on here or anywhere else are; Bin anything blurred. Crop out the crap. Get rid of red eye. Tweak the contrast. And never post an unflattering pic.

There's always one isn't there ....... if you look at my profile and go into my gallery pictures .. there's loads .. I've just checked them out and even if I do say so myself they are all very good too to say that I was under the influence whilst taking most of them!!! Edited April 20, 2009 by Mandy

KevH Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Good security point made. P Probably not done for security.(unless they are members of some underground group...Peoples Front of Judea). I'm guessing the ones airbrushed out, are on the sick from work. Or up to no good with a "partner".
