I agree with james on this one.
It has happened before on one forum, I really don't take such a post as negative or aggressive and will respond with a normal explanation, it's a bit frighting to see that it gets out of control by other posts.
PLEASE keep this forum free of bashing each other.
I find myself posting less and less of my work on several forums because I don't like the atmosphere anymore (too many wannabees that think they are a pro because they sold a picture to the local newspaper).
For me this forum is great because there is mutal respect and I think one of the reasons we see some REAL pros here, PLEASE keep it that way.
I heard about closed forums were the pros post now because they don't want to be on the public forums, it's a bad trend (and yes I would love to have an invite for such a forum LOL).
I think that in photography there should be respect for each other and to be quiete honest there is no real competetion necessary.
I teach alot of workshops and even with my models, my lightsetup, same equiptment EVERY single students makes a different picture, so I don't see the need for it.
Again, I'm not offended by the question, it's a solid question with I think a solid answer from my side, let's keep it there and keep this forum CLEAN of BS like you can see on many other sites.
Don't scare the pros away
