| − | The intention of these groundrules is to maintain this forum as a valuable resource for all OCAU photographers. We don't wish to discourage anyone from posting photos or discussion, but there are expectations for behaviour and content posted here, which these rules hopefully address.

| | | | |
| − | Everyone should feel confident in being able to post their photos for comment/help/suggestions - this is how we all learn. Above all, this should be an enjoyable forum to be a part of!
| + | *Rules |
| | + | **[[Photography Forum Rules]] |
| | | | |
| − | === Code of Conduct === | + | == Guides and HowTos == |
| − | *I will set out to provide a positive contribution to the Photography forum.<br>
| + | |
| − | *I will think about what I'm commenting on, and how I will say it, before I post.<br>
| + | |
| − | * I will not post negative comments about a person, or their artwork, but will aim to provide constructive feedback.<br>
| + | |
| − | *Photography is as much an art form as it is a science. Just because a photo isn't technically good doesn't mean it isn't good. Some of the best photos break fundamental rules of photography. While you may not like the photo, perhaps try to look for the good as well as the bad if offering criticism.<br>
| + | |
| − | * Describing my photo and why I've taken it they way I have will help me get feedback about the photo.<br>
| + | |
| − | * I won't spam useless drivel, nor will I actively engage in trolling the forums for an argument.<br>
| + | |
| − | * I realise that using the search feature of the forums will help me research my questions before I post another thread on what equipment to buy.<br>
| + | |
| − | * I won't post in the wrong forum.<br>
| + | |
| − | * I will respect that everyone has the right to share their opinion (even if I don't like it). When sharing your opinion with me, I will expect you to treat me with courtesy. I will also remember to treat you with courtesy.<br>
| + | |
| − | * I won't get upset or angry if a moderator or another forum member tells me to stop being a pinhead, because I probably am being one.<br>
| + | |
| − | * I won't edit or repost other people's photos without their prior permission.<br>
| + | |
| − | * I will remember that I may post a comment or say something that isn't correct, and if I'm corrected, I will accept it with humility.<br>
| + | |
| − | * Most importantly, I will have fun!<br>
| + | |

| | | | |
| − | ===Critiquing Photo's=== | + | === Equipment === |
| − | *What do you like about the image? What draws you in or makes the image interesting to you? Saying what worked in an image is just as important as saying what didn't work - it gives the photographer a chance to identify what techniques work for the future. | + | * [[Camera Selection]] |
| − | *What parts of the image do you not like? Be specific - a response like "thats a shit photo" is not constructive, just insulting. If someone had said it to you, would you be impressed? | + | ** What compact camera should I buy? - [[Compact camera guide]] |
| − | *If you were there taking the photo, what would you do instead? Of course, not everyone can answer this, so don't feel too proud to say "I'm not sure what I would do". Humility stops people becoming defensive and stops threads becoming flame wars. Remember that the photographer has asked for critique, not off the cuff remarks. Being vague is not always helpful. | + | ***[[Fuji S602z]] |

| | | | |
| − | Remember that you are critiquing an artwork that someone has spent time and energy (and possibly some money) on. When offering your opinion, bare in mind that, even if you are only speaking of the image, people can still take your words personally. Nobody is forcing you to like an image - you can say that you don't, but be prepared to say why as well as offer some comments on how the photograph could be improved.

| | | | |
| − | === Brand vs Brand === | + | === Photographers' Rights === |
| − | Manufacturer discussion is healthy, as long as it's objective and doesn't turn into a slagging match. It's fine to discuss the merits of different technology - but discuss with fact, not baseless ranting. Everyone has a favorite, but don't try to force your opinion onto others.

| | + | *[[Urban exploration]] |
| | | | |
| − | The photos must be linked for their artistic merit, not simply because they're naked people. This is a fine line, and it's hoped that we can all show some common sense and maturity - there's no restriction on the age of forum members here, so assume that children will view anything you post. If you think it's borderline, don't post it.
| + | === Other === |
| − | | + | |
| − | === Models === | + | |
| − | There will often be threads in this forum containing photos of models. Please keep the discussion related to the photography, not whether you think the model is hot or not. Don't be immature or derogatory.

| − | If you want to quote someone, remove any [IMG] tags from the quote, so any photos in the quote are linked, rather than embedded.

| − | === Copyright ===

| − | All images posted in this forum are copyright to the author unless otherwise stated. It's your responsibility to ensure that any images you post don't infringe copyright. This means that you need to have copyright of the image yourself, or you must have permission from the copyright holder.
