Photography

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Has anyone else noticed that most photography forums outside of Reddit have some very opinionated, bitter arsch-holes as members? I cannot find a single forum outside of Reddit that offers positive / constructive criticism, just people who are toxic beyond belief...

Some readers have lots of experience and what some readers take as ego is actually a simple fact. Some also have opinions born of that long experience. Some are tired of answering silly questions and they often come off as a bit too harsh. I seldom critique the images I see because they are terrible for any number of reasons. I see a bad image and I keep my mouth shut because some posters have thin skin.

I am set in my ways and I know how wrong some people are. Still, I remain quiet about certain things.

I always try to be polite.
