What's new

Wholly C&C Batman!

I came to this forum to learn more about photography.

What I seemed to find (on my scratch at the surface thus far), mostly people looking for a pat on the back for some snap shots they've taken.

^^ oh but don't think for a moment that the majority here (or anywhere else for that matter) want to see anything other than snapshots.
 
Well, at least it's better for them to be asking for it rather than all the other threads moaning about C&C.
 
I DO I DO!!!!

i gladly take in the c&c, and learn from it.

which then sends me out on an internet mission to read and learn on the subject i was asking for c&c about.

i went a week between posting my color pics and my black and white pics.

what did i do that week? i read.

i went a week between my b&w pics and my pic last night from my new photo challenge.

those black & white pics, metering was an issue. didnt know about it. or the exposure triangle.

what have i done the last week... read countless pages and watched countless videos on the exposure triangle and in camera metering, and my camera manual.


but, i realize everyone with a new camera isn't like me. it's hard to be me. it takes a lot of work to be this awesome. :lol:
 
I preferred it back when the beginner section was not also a gallery...but unfortunately that was too complicated for most beginners. :roll:

Pls can we has C&C subsection?


I promise to ban anyone who isn't good in there if we get one

metaphorically speaking that is
 
Does anyone really post their pictures and request no CC's? Or just not asking for CC's mean the same?

Since I've been a member here, I post my current pictures once or twice per week, and always end my post sayimg CC's welcomed. Most of the time I get few if any CC's. I'm satisfied to see the number of viewers that have stopped by to take a look. Can't really ask or expect more.
 
How's about this approach.... Either give CC or don't but don't complain about it. This forum is for everybody not just this perceived "upper echelon " of people that think their great cuz they have 10,000 posts under their avatar.
 
I've only been around these parts about a year, so I must ask: when does the after-Christhmahanakwanzaka chaos calm down?

I just looked back through my started posts. Today, for the first time in my one year here, did I post asking for C&C in the subject. All of my recent posts are questions (and MANY thanks to those who answered!). There are so many posts requesting C&C that you kinda just start to overlook them. And that sucks for the ones who actually want some critique and direction.

Oh! And most of the C&C I do get (most, NOT all!) isn't really critique (Schwetty, I think you posted about this earlier today). It's either solely opinions ("I like it!" or "I hate it!") or a critique that has no useful information behind it.

Okay, soapbox- DONE.
 
I think a few people need to step back and need to remember that they were all once noobs who knew no better. Also people need to realize that this is en open forum for every type of photographer, both serious and those who just want aimlessly point a camera. Just because you don't care for their lack of motivation doesn't mean they are less deserving of posting here. Until guidelines say different this forum is open to everyone, not just the ones who take it seriously enough to your liking. I'm trying very hard to apply everything I've learned, but if someone likes just snapping pictures and has no interest in moving forward, who cares? Just ignore those threads if you don't like the attitude. But don't act like they're doing something because they don't care to follow your advice, when there is no requirement to to post here.Of course I'm not speaking for those who are just nasty to people giving advice. Just sayin.
 
OK THATS IT
