It is the writer's fault if a reader doesn't believe him. It is up to the writer to be convincing - not up to the reader to be convinced.
There's no victim. It is the choice of whoever decides to not post photos.
That said, the most anyone should do is ask that an example or demonstration be shown. When it isn't, if that makes you disregard the claim, just move on.
However, often you can comprehend that a procedure or method will likely work a certain way just from the description.
Especially if you have some experience.
Say, you're curious how to produce a split toned print. Someone explains an approach, but doesn't show an example. What do you do - consider their approach, perhaps try it out? Or just dismiss it - after all, no example has been shown, hence the information provided cannot/should not be taken into consideration?
It's someone's own loss if they decide to disregard information that might be useful to them.
I learned a lot from people who didn't post examples of what they meant and also from people who didn't show credentials of their expertise (perhaps because they had none).
That's exactly true. Not everything needs an example. Also, it can be discouraging to genuinely knowledgeable people to be constantly asked for examples. Demanding "proof" could cause a lot of people who do know how to do lots of stuff but don't actually have any examples of their own (for whatever reason) to not volunteer any information.
However, when a claim is contentious or counter-intuitive, you can't expect people to believe you if you don't demonstrate. But even then, if you don't have an example at hand, should you shut up about it?
If you don't have samples, post your ideas anyway. Just realize that without them, people may question the value of your suggestion and just ignore it.
Much better than having my photographs ripped off from downloading. The stealing costs me money and that is worth much more than the opinions of those that will only believe something if they see it on the internet.
Don't post any pictures you're selling.
I post pictures for selling items. Now you are being obstinate.
Young photographers want and expect their film to be every bit as hi rez as their digital shots with minimum fuss.
For those that see the big picture concerning the need for capturing and preserving their local unfolding life and events in the turbulent end days ahead, let them join in the movement.
Can't see much point capturing and preserving anything if there are going to be "end days"....
The end days of this earth age before the transition the permanent, everlasting one to come.
This is only possible currently by paying for a professional high end scanning service.

What format film?
I think this is every bit as high resolution as I'm going to get out of film.
Non-existence is not ever-lasting
It's also poor in comparison with the raw resolution you get from a typical 35mm sensor these days.
Not saying your photos are poor or anything, but let's not make film out of something it isn't, and/or forget that digital is capable of amazing stuff.

Film still readily out-resolves digital. Only the best scanners can begin to show it's superiority.
Don't worry. Mankind will continue to exist.
35mm film cannot compete with modern sensors.
...turbulent end days ahead....
Huh ????
