Introduction

This is the Photography Forum section of OCAU.Wiki.

The Photography forum was created in late December of 2003, and it was originally a branch of the Other Toys Forum.

The Groundrules

Updated 07/07/2005

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!

Code of Conduct (for comment)

  • I will set out to provide a positive contribution to the Photography forum.
  • I will think about what I'm commenting on, and how I will say it, before I post.
  • I will not post negative comments about a person, or their artwork, but will aim to provide constructive feedback.
  • Describing my photo and why I've taken it they way I have will help me get feedback about the photo.
  • I won't spam useless dribble, nor will I actively engage in trolling the forums for an argument.
  • I realise that using the search feature of the forums will help me research my questions before I post another thread on what tripod (insert object of choice) to buy.
  • I won't post in the wrong forum.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • I won't edit or repost other people's photos without their prior permission.
  • 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.
  • Most importantly, I will have fun!

Brand vs Brand

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.

Nudes

Nudes/fine art photography/figure study are valid forms of photography, and it's OK to discuss photos of nudes in this forum, as long as:

  • they're linked, not embedded in a thread
  • there's a warning in the thread title that it's not work safe/etc
  • they're not pornographic

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.

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.

Selling photographic equipment

We now have a Marketplace subforum for all your buying and selling of Photgraphic equipment

Quoting images

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.

Please also be aware that there is a zero tolerance policy against silly, attention seeking, immature, abusive and insulting comments in this forum.
