Ik kreeg zojuist een mailtje van een mede-photoSIG-er:
Hello Govert,
You probably don't know me, but I'm on PhotoSIG, too, and I was going over some of my old critiques. I remember you writing a very good critique about a picture that was on the main page that really didn't belong. (Either "Lagos" or "Lampione".) You mentioned that you had better pictures in your portfolio which barely got points that are better than the photo on the Main Page.
You know what? You're absolutely right. There seems to be some cliches that are running around on PhotoSIG. Unfortunately, people who are really trying to use the site legitimately have to be careful because the point system really means nothing. Some people give points because you give them a favorable mark. Some people give high marks so they can receive high marks. Then they are people who high marks to those who they know on some personal basis. And what most budding photographers like myself would like to know is how we can improve our work to become better photographers and if we're on the track to that goal.
So now I can't tell if someone with a bazillion points is really a good photographer or a good self-promoter. I'm going to lay low and not write any reviews for awhile. I have an idea of the quality of my photos because I show them to multiple sources and filter all comments good and bad to weed out the ones that aren't genuine.
Anyway, just wanted to let you know you're not the only one who feels that way. Just keep on striving for your own personal photography goals and don't let the fact that not every picture on PhotoSIG is judged fairly interfere with your love of photography! I looked at your portfolio and I saw a lot of good photos in there!
Aloha

Best leuk! Ik had bij die foto van die lantaarn gezegd dat ik met veel moeite foto's loop te maken en dat die beter waren dan die foto met die lantaarn (je weet wel, frontpage, 300+ punten) en dat ik er hooguit 30 punten voor zou krijgen.
Er zijn duidelijk meer mensen die doorhebben dat veel frontpage foto's doorgestoken kaart zijn.
Ik heb overigens de scan foto er weer afgehaald, ik haalde er geen 600 punten mee. Hij is blijven steken op 11, incl de 6 van jullie!

Het is dus wel bewezen: die Judy heeft een 3TU clubje voor haar.
Wel een nieuwe gepost, die het tot mijn verbazing best goed doet:
