Nothing says "Sugar" like the classic Sugar Sky.

Lot of gear threads out there with a lot of product photography that the posters didn't take. You better get to reporting those threads before it gets out of control.

totally different.

That's actually not that bad. With better composition that could've been a rad shot.

Sugar can even do cars. I mean, is there anything that guy doesn't shoot?

>>2900480

The intent is different, as it is in this thread as well. The spirit of the law takes precedence over the letter in this circumstance.

I dislike sugar as much as the next guy (probably more than the next guy), but this thread is just sad. Get fucked.

Whelp. I'm off to a lunch break. And captcha's being a pain at the moment. I'll catch you cats later.

You must be that guy who thinks anyone who calls Sugar on his bullshit is letting him get under their skin.
Very weak trolling, kiddo; nobody except Sugar gives a shit about this thread. It's too transparent even for /p/'s gullibility levels.

>>2900505
>It's too transparent even for /p/'s gullibility levels.
Wouldn't be too sure about that one, chief. You've already had plenty of anger just by the mere posting of Sugar pics.

>>2900478
how would you have composed it

Could you make an isi appreciation thread instead? She hasn't made a thread in a few weeks and I actually would prefer that..

>>2900536
I would've looked for a way to cut out all that extraneous stuff at the bottom of the frame. I probably would composed with the windmills on the right. With all the stuff on the left, it feels imbalanced.

>>2900684

I wanted the winding roads at the bottom to lead you to the windmills

cool thread though 10/10 many jimmies will be rustled

The board is salty because faggots who get mad over anyone who takes picture than them are rife.

>>2900693
>I wanted the winding roads at the bottom to lead you to the windmills
I guess I see what you were going for, but I honestly don't think it works that way at all. There's just too much extraneous crap down there.

>>2900698

Why would we be mad at sugar, then?

>>2900698
>The board is salty because faggots who get mad over anyone who takes picture than them are rife.
For real though, no.

Younger people can't seem to understand that concept that a person can dislike another person entirely independently of how they evaluate their work.

>>2900708
There's no evaluation of Sugar's work or even his personality anymore. It's just pure hatred. There's avery vocal minority who just flat out hates him and wants to bother him enough that he leaves the board.

>>2900710

If you think he hasn't earned it through years of hardcore shit posting, you're too new to be in this thread.

>>2900710
Exactly my point.

>>2900710
>It's just pure hatred.

no, my friend. /p/ is a board of peace.

Look the fucking FAN HO himself is judging these photos.

>>2900866
I appreciate him.

His photographs are above average for /p/. That doesn't mean they're good. That doesn't mean that he's a great photographer. That doesn't mean he hasn't, from time to time, had a shitty attitude over the years, but /p/ is a photography board, and the photography aspect of this board is in the shitter right now. Apart from the occasional thread, most photos are just shitty snapshits in RPTs. These photos are above average for /p/, and /p/ needs photographs.

I miss Alphon. I honestly do. The level of trolling on this board has really gone down hill in recent years. It's the same old shit over and over and over again, and you have white knights bitching about a Sugar thread like its the end of the world. Alphon could fucking tank this board in an afternoon of his incessant rage. That was proper trolling. Everybody now gets their feelings hurt and takes everything way too personally, and it's all just silly useless shit.

>>2901021
>you have white knights bitching about a Sugar thread like its the end of the world.
Pretty sure you're more of the "white knight" for defending the tripfag in this case.

But what's really kind of telling is that you considered Alphon trolling, so there's a huge divide in what your post is saying. Except for a couple of actual blowups, Alphon always provided information. He did so in the most dickheaded and offensive way possible, but he did provided information. I can't see you missing that, but supporting the existence of a thread that's literally intended to do absolutely nothing but be a bait/troll thread like this one is.

Alphon was a dick but a dick who informed. Threads like this are just being a dick. There's no information. This kind of shit is cancer and really, everyone posting in it should be permabanned.

>>2901048

If by information, you mean "sophomoric platitudes lifted from literally any momtography 101 website", then yes. Alphon offered lots of "information". Photos should have texture! Go figure!

He was a shitposter who only riled up the newfags who didn't know that alphon was a 22 year old nobody who had only "been into" photography for about 8 months, and whose shit-tier kit was rivaled only by sugar's.

>>2901113
>If by information, you mean "sophomoric platitudes lifted from literally any momtography 101 website", then yes. Alphon offered lots of "information". Photos should have texture! Go figure!
Literally more than is in this thread, and seriously, do you think /p/ is hurt by having more beginner level critical thought on it?

>>2901116
>do you think /p/ is hurt by having more beginner level critical thought on it?

When it's sandwiched between egomania and verbal abuse, yes I do.

>>2901117
>When it's sandwiched between egomania and verbal abuse, yes I do.
And you're literally the reason why there's shit for knowledge floating about this board these days.

Honestly, if you can't see how that's better than a thread like this, then there's no helping you. And to be clear, I'm not saying the egomania and abuse are good, just that it's better to have real information than no information.

>>2901121

I think you've got me confused with the other guy with whom you were arguing. Just to be clear: This thread is garbage. Alphon was garbage. You're garbage for defending Alphon. The other guy is garbage for defending Sugar. The other OTHER guy is garbage for saying that Sugar is better than the bulk of /p/. I'm garbage for even stooping down to deal with you retards.

Clear? Got it? Comprende, amigo?

>>2901124
Ah, my apologies. We mostly agree. My only real point was that Alphon was at least useful garbage. I still think he was a piece of shit, but I'd rather have useful pieces of shit if I'm forced to deal with pieces of shit.

>>2901128
This is Alphon in a nutshell. It was a complete, insufferable cunt, but he was technically proficient at what he did. He wasn't world class, but he knew what he was doing and did actually know the basics of photography and critique.

Plus, he got trolled by people just as much as he trolled. It was the ultimate give and take situation. He went ballistic at /p/, so /p/ went ballistic at him, so he went ballistic at /p/, etc.

>>2901124
>The other OTHER guy is garbage for saying that Sugar is better than the bulk of /p/

Sugar's not better than the bulk of /p/, but he's at least in the middle of the bell curve. He's definitely not in the low end, and his photos aren't dragging this board down. But, before you lose your mind, that's because /p/ is shit. You can pine for the halcyon days of yore, but they're gone. This is a gear board with occasional recent photo threads. I mean, just look at the current state of things:

>PAGE 1

etc.
etc.
etc.

Out of the first two pages along, the only thread that's got actual fucking photos are the recent photo threads, the astro thread, and the thread with one single fucking shitty photo. Just look at the RPT >>2899096. It's an absolute embarrassment. I don't care how much you hate Sugar. I don't care how much of a cunt he's been in the past. His photos are at least in the 50% range for this board.

>>2901148
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the astrophtography bros on this board are the best part of /p/.
