Photography Forum?

[Hayd93]

As we all know Darren you're highly opinionated when it comes to what you can call "photography".

Besides, the other pictures forum doesn't get used that often, and even as I am interested in photography, I am against it

What i find is that darren keeps himself to himself give some tips ect. Its just when other members try to wind him up with comments like alot better than darrens that he states he is betetr ect wich ususally he is right.

There are other things that deserve a (sub)forum a lot more.

I see your points. From what I have seen there are loads of photographers on this forum, ranging from 'snaps' to professional images.

I personally think it would be best to have a new forum called 'Photography' and under that forum have sub-forums such as 'Requests', 'Buying/Selling', 'Reviews' etc. The amount of threads I see within the Technology forums saying 'is this camera good', well we could direct people to join what I feel would be a hub for photographers on a very active forum. With prefix's, I believe it would still be a little open and people could 'loose themselves' in the world of photography.

Like I also mentioned above, a possible photographic competition every month? I am sure some kind of VIP could be rewarded, however it is the constructive feedback which is most important to help users gain experience and knowledge.

Hmmm, might be pushing it with buying/selling and moving camera threads to it, cameras are technology in their own right and like a "gadget" to some, and buying/selling photos maybe a bit hard to do, because they could easily be recreated, unless you mean framing and selling, which again would be hard

Requests could be fun, or maybe "Inspiration" or "Ideas," a forum where people can post ideas for photos which may be quite good.

Thats true actually.

I can't see it working. It would be good at first, but then there would only be a few posts a day like in the Flight Sim forum.

I am not saying other forums could not be created, but I have just picked up on a buzz about photography which I and other members would like to expand on

Gomme, when I mentioned 'Buying/Selling' I meant advice on the cameras to buy etc, not so much selling prints. Tom, that is a problem that could arise and good for mentioning it. With competitions running and users posting their photographs for display, I am sure it would remain active.

I think a trial run would be most suited as someone mentioned previously.

Ahhh I see. Might be worth keeping that in the Tech. forum none-the-less. Keeps that bit busy Although talking about it in threads won't hurt, some photography threads will probably end with a discussion about which D-SLR, SLR or Auto.

I could see lots of arguments starting about who's photos are "snaps" and who's aren't.

I think the users on this forum are mature enough to give constructive feedback on each others photographs. Ok, the odd none-participating member may say 'they are rubbish', but at the end of the day it is the opinions of those who give constructive feedback that matters.

I would personally like to be a judge for a photographic competition, maybe with one or two other members/staff?

I like the idea, personally - A sub-forum would be great.
