Underwater Photography

Lets act upon this guys and girls. We all have a mix of experiance and photograph different subjects so why dont more of us write a guide. I do feel we need a new section for this though.
Do others think we should have a different section for the guides?

Ollie,

I agree with the idea. There is already a General Photograhic Technique Forum where they can be posted. It is just a case of suitably titling the thread. I started ' Flash Daunting or Fun ' in December and that is still running, dealing with topics related to the use of flash. We have another thread there about using a pc to remotely control your camera. It just requires the thread starter to do a write up as Sean has here. It helps if the posts there then stay reasonably on topic.

Perhaps a ' Guides on How to Photograph - Forum ' to complement the General Photographic Techniques Forum.

No doubt as membership of this site increases and postings increase then the current how to threads will disappear in the more generalised threads posted there.

A quick look through that forum shows a few ' how to ' threads.

Infrared photography
Night time photography
Capturing ol’ Sparky
Flash - Daunting or Fun.

I have no doubt that although members may have initially bought a camera to photograph a specific subject, then through looking at the gallery and thread postings the interest broadens to include a wider range of subjects.

The site was launched in what to a lot of us was, ' the dark days of winter ' and with the summer on its way the possible range of subjects will increase dramatically.

I agree an area titled that would be good and the threads from elsewhere moved there.

I origionaly brought my point and shoot for aircraft work but from reading this forum and seing other peoples photos made me whant to go out and try other subjects. Im certainly glad i did, although i would like more time with someone more experianced in those areas.
Now i have my d50 i have been playing with different subjects even more.
