Model Railroad/Real trains Photography Forum

With 26 separate titled forums including one titled "Photo albums", it would appear to me that photography is already covered.

I would vote NO!

Happy railroading,

Don

No more sub forums.

NO! NO! NO!

There are more forums than you can shake a stick at now! NO

Eliot,I gather you mean a photography "how to" forum. If that is the case I think that would be great.

I prefer the current set up with the weekend photo fun thread and the midweek photo thread in real trains each week.

 

I respectfully disagree. I am concerned about the proliferation of sub-forums here. There are numerous photography websites and forums on the internet, including many that deal with miniatures photography, including that of model railroads. (And, yes, I could benefit by accessing them more often! )

What is the "photo Albums" Forum for then?

While there is a tremendous number of photos posted on this forum,  the quality and format could use a lot of improvement, IMO, but that's the nature of an on-line forum.  Most of us are point and shoot photographers, Eliot has a very good point .  There is a lot to be learned about this part of the hobby.  I believe Eliot's comment is more to: "a how to.... forum " v.s. a "point and shoot" collection of pictures.  Mike CT   

I see no harm in having another sub-forum, especially if it involves digital photo and photo editing techniques.  There won't be anyone forcing you to view it, will there?  HOWever, MTJ has a photography section and it's like a ghost town.

I would say no for a for a couple reasons

1. Photos hosted here versus linked from other site cost Rich a lot of bandwidth. A successful Photo forum could really cost a lot of $$
2. The photo handling and display abilities of this forum are subpar compared to what is out there.
3. THere are plenty of services out there like Flickr that make nice photo forums. We could do a nice one there.
4. There are too many sub-forums already

Yep, there already is a sub-forum for photos.  One is enough.

I have an article in the next issue of OGR with hints on shooting your layout. Check it out. Don

Beautiful shot scalerail. I am looking forward to reading your article in OGR. Have a Merry Christmas everyone.

I'd be interested, especially if Eliot were giving instructions.

Will look forward to your upcoming article Don!

No!, Too many sub forums now plus we already have a photo forum.

There also a forum called SUGGESTION bOX

I'm always interested in learning how to take better pics.  I would have enjoyed some discussion on this topic.
