Re: [APML] Do you recognize these photos? (Usefilm posted images ofM31)

Brian,

Yes, I usually comment on most of the astrophoto attempts on
Usefilm. Some people do not understand that the object of
the site is to post ones original work with the goal of
improving ones photography technique and/or vision. Some
get caught up in getting getting high ratings. The people
running the site do a pretty good job of removing images
that aren't original once they are brought to their attention.

The person that tried to pass Jerry's image off made some
outrageous claim of using hypered-Velvia. If he would have
said hypo, maybe I wouldn't have objected as much (couldn't
resist).
