 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |
Nothing at all. Like I wrote, it's about sharing photos, nothing more, nothing less, with or devoid of self-critique. I think you're looking for certain forum-characteristics that aren't provided for in the forum description. That is, if I understand the forum-descriptions correctly.SpotterNL wrote:What's wrong with some self critique and not posting everything you have shot?
And my whole point of my post was to question the current situation on this board (critique isn't welcomed). Currently the mood seems to be 'ja en amen', while in my point of view that is not correct in every situation. There is so much to be learned by just being open to constructive critisism. What would be the best place to get that? In my opinion it would be the photo forum, because there you can judge the photo in all aspects. The photography forum is more material based, without looking at composition etc.Stephan Lodewijks wrote:Nothing at all.

Maybe we're both missing parts of each other's point...

I agree that the tone of that post was harsh, but IMHO it's content was correct. It has been said in previous posts that it might be wiser to post less photos at a time, which is a statement I agree with. If you don't like the words, attack the wording instead of the message.Stephan Lodewijks wrote:I've seen constructive critique being welcomed many times on this forum, so I think a lot people are very open to it; things are definately not as bad as they seem in this individual topic. Remember that the post triggering most of the defensive responses was this one:

With all due respect to the photographer, I think the word 'good' doesn't cover these photo's. some constructive criticism goes a lot further in helping the photographer than just saying 'good pics'. There is a lot of possible improvement, yet the main part of the people replying say 'give him a break, he is still young and learning'. That is THE time to give some criticism, as it is very hard to change old habits. I'll give an example of what would be a more appropriate response IMHO.but you have some good pics
