Ok guys, I know I'm living in gaga land thinking that there are other forums beside this one, but it's time to reduce the amount of screen burn my monitor has from 'forums.overclockers.co.uk' in the address bar :p

Basically I'm looking for more places to post my photos to get a broader all round collective opinion :) - And also to look for at different peoples work :p

I can think of the following:

1) This forum
2) Talk Photography (although the quality of the images and the bitching on this place can quite frankly be...shocking :p)
3) Photography-on-the-net

Can anyone recommend any others with good community's etc? :)

Spanks,

a bit harsh on the quality of images bit, yeah okay there are a lot of newbs learning so some can be hit and miss but not everyone (even on here) is a seasoned professional.. ;)
Click to expand...

I wasn't being bigheaded about it. My point was that you would get (and quite rightly so) a newbie to photography post some images. And instead of people getting critique to help them you'll get a stream of people going "wow nice work! keep it up!" or "great set"

Then someone who knows what they are talking about will come along, tell them that they aren't great, tell them why they aren't and how to improve - then said person gets slated for not being supportive.

It also leads to the OP of said set being err...mislead, so he then starts commenting on others photos when he has no idea what he's talking about then defends his points to the death when hes 100% wrong :p

So yeah, I've stopped posting on there :p

Don't get me wrong, there is good work on there and people who know what they are talking about, but that's about 5% of the population that browse it :)
 
Indeed, I used to browse it a fair bit a few years back - Now I only use it for its market place.

Shame really :(
