In al respect,you have alot of peaple thad like to show there
pictures ,just to make sure the pictures look ok.
No one ever tel me I just can put pictures online thad are related to
art alone.
I think for an start this is the whrong forum for thad.

Now consider thad,this forum is about everything.
Camera stuff,quistions,information,and pictures.
No one can offer thad Exept here on depreview.A mix of everything.
Good fotographers,can filling up the starters and help them out.

Also I realy like to point out,thad everyone thad take pictures have
his own style.
how boring would thad be If everyone just copy ansel adams.
Besite we do not take pictures with real film camera's but with digital.

his furst camera was the Box Brownie from kodak.and hi started to
take familie pictures.
just like the folks here do.
Exept later hi get lessons from Frank Dittman in San Francisco in 1916
Wat I like to point out,yes hi also started by taking family pictures.
Afcours hi was not an born fotographer.

Later hi wanted to strikes light in landscape pictures,but now in our
time thad is abit dificult with CCd censors is it.

My simple conclusion,is thad indeed alot of peaple post most of the
time snapshots.Also me to I have simple not the time to wait a week
for the light I want.

And so are alot of us.
I also like to say every one beginner advanged or keen
pfotographer,have to put there pictures in here,becouse if new peaple
don't do it,the never wil lurn abit more of taking better
pictures,and I findt it is the job of the better fotographer to help
them out.
not just to give c&c but to put it on text,meaby with an example how
the can take thad picture on a better way.

If you like to be willing thad,It only can improve the fotographer.

I hope you are al agree.
Claus.

I share you sentiments about this and with others who have the same
feelings. Encouragement and affrimation are essential nutrients for
the cultivation and growth of creativity in all forms of art. There
are rules to follow for governing but too many of them will stifle
creativity and expression. We all look at life with different
perspectives. So, is the way we look through the view-finders of our
cameras. No two persons will look at things the same way, feel the
same way and act the same way. We are all born with different
abilities, moulded by different circunmstances and born at different
points in a timeline. We should try to accomodate others in our
hearts so that peace and harmony can prevail.

Oh come on, this site isn't about accommodating "others in our hearts so that peace and harmony can prevail". It's mostly about reviews and discussing photography gear, and sharing pictures just for the sake of sharing is REAL EASY by posting them in the galleries forum. That's what that forum is for.

Some of you make it sound like it's impossible or forbidden to share pictures on this site, and that posting your pictures in the galleries forum is some sort of eternal punishment. You all sound like a bunch of crybabies who are throwing a tantrum because you can't have YOUR way.

Instead of whining about not getting your way, be glad that dpreview tries to accommodate those of you who want to show/share and/or get critiques/comments on your pictures by providing a gallery forum for that very purpose.

By the way, are any of you aware of the fact that there are MILLIONS of photo sharing websites? There are. Really.

WELL SAID! You are spot on!

The phrase, "a picture is worth a thousand words", came about for good reason. As you mentioned, SEEING things like purple fringing is much more informative than someone trying to describe it to you.

The moment I am told I can't post an image here or view others' images without switching back and forth between this page and those millions of other photo sharing sites is the moment I stop visiting this site entirely. At that instant it will have ceased to be useful (or fun!) to me. A good portion of the benefit of sites like this is being able to tie a real-life image directly to the story of how it was captured.

And frankly, I derive a HUGE amount of enjoyment in scrolling through the posts and seeing these snippets of life around the world, even apart from their often educational content :)

The danger is, if they go and share some of their cliche snapshots on PhotoSig, a bunch of critiques will come back telling them their pics are dull uninteresting and not of much merit. They'll get their feelings hurt because no one said nice shot thanks for sharing. Their skins are too thin, so they'll just stay here and post their snapshots and get a nice big group hug and feel all warm and fuzzy about their nice pics.

Hi natureman,

Frankly, I am not in anyway affected by your harsh response. Neither am I offended by what markleewebb said about me here:

http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1033&message=31326365

As I've stated im my previous post, there are reasons why you and I think and behave differently. We may not see eye to eye on this issue but we may agree on other issues in the future. So, we can still be friends. I will accept you as what you are and hope you will do the same for me.

I rarely participate in any discussion on this forum due to my work commitments. In fact, this my first time.

Cheers,

Mark has grown on me, sometimes he deliberately tries to go overboard in his criticism, I used to think it was because he feels he is above the "snapshot", a genre which most of the people on here are happy to emulate, but now I suspect he just enjoys the conflict, not in a slamming people kind of way, but just moving people out of their comfort zones and see how they respond.

I think we should give him a nice big group hug.

True, and what most people here don't realize (or don't want to believe) is that the compliments are often given because of the brand or model of the camera gear used, and/or because of who shot it, and/or because people are just trying to be "nice", and not because the picture actually deserves to be complimented.

you want it to be.

Personally I think someone of your photo experience and knowledge is an asset to the forum and when someone of your experience bothers to comment on any picture postings I would certainly try to learn from what you had to say.

But Mark is just plain rude and arrogant when not commenting at all would suffice to say.

Thats how civilised people behave, sometimes a kind word is said because they know it is needed.

You guys have got to stop judging others behaviour (and even worse trying to control it) and simply work the forum and your own threads how you want to without inflicting mass generalisations. There are are examples of all behaviours and critiques on this forum and that doesn't need to be judged.

Talk about exaggerating. No one said you have to go to ALL of the photo sharing websites, and I also brought up the galleries forum which is right here on dpreview. Does it hurt your finger to click on another forum on the same website?

And just think, if everyone followed the rules and posted their pictures that they just want to show/share or get comments/critiques on, all those pictures would be in the galleries forum and they would be easy to find and view. Are you interested in photographs, or just photographs from Panasonic cameras?

Oh, by the way, if people were to put the brand and/or model of the camera they used in the title of their post, it would be easy to find pictures in the galleries forum that were shot with a particular brand or model.

See? Nothing complicated about it at all.
