What has happened?
[quote:3496ace15f="dougf8"] As I've already said, I would love to see people who want a critique, analyzing their own images and indicating what they would like comment on. To me the most valuable critique is that which focusses upon something you haven't yourself thought of. Well, read their min...

My point is I find it better to leave the floor open without predetermining what kind of critique to focus on. I'd rather people just look at my pics with a non biased mind and comment on whatever they want, if at all. :) You have the benefit of an indestructible ego. ;)

And yes, I think the mood has been that self-editing and therefore the application of standards should be applied. Hence the reference about snobbery above. However, that's my opinion and you might have another one. No one is suggesting that any objective standards should be applied before people po...

If there are a group (not organised) of users who are willing and prone to comment and critique and appraise, I think it the height of consideration that the poster has a little inward moment before posting something mundane, lacking, boring, colourless, drab, dull etc etc .... I think that menta...

The perceived downside is that it encourages cliques of "click buddies" where merit has nothing to do with it. Facebook is a case maybe, if that's the model that's on your mind. So if having posts liked makes us feel loved, what will no likes mean? And we're back to the same problem. Things ar...

John, I think you need to participate other forums and see how they work. I have several different forums in mind ALL have some method of approval for posts and contributions. Having the background of lurking likes will dilute any buddy cliques, they already exist with friends commenting on othe...

I use Twitter and that is more than enough "social networking" for me. I'm a bit old fashioned, I prefer to interact with people in the real world, not hide behind a screen, trolling... If trolling behind a screen is the only alternative to interacting with people in the real world then you don't ...

It wasn't an easy decision, but we concluded that we would like Pentax User to continue to be focus on Pentax and photography, not off topic, non-photographic discussion. We have ideas on ways that we may be able to introduce avenues on the site to allow more casual discussion, but at the moment...

Thanks for that Alan, my aim with the thread was to boost interest and discussion, to encourage participation and critique. I wasn't intending to start a row about moderation and in fact I don't think this thread has done that, but it has got caught up in a firestorm that was created in other threa...

Getting images off a DVD?
I have a CD that I keep photo's on and would like one or two to experiment with and add to my blog. I only want a fraction, how do I stop the PC from uploading the whole lot back onto my hard drive, how do I choose only four at most? Thanks.

Brand Switching
In the "What has happened" thread, there is a discussion about allowing discussion of other brands, for comparison purposes, by people who run two systems or have switched from Pentax to A.N.Other. Set me thinking, how many members have switched back after going to another brand?

My limited experience of people who have changed systems 'seems' to be that they bend over backwards to justify it :shock: It's a shame as some really good togs seem to feel the need to justify their decision when really there is no need to :shock: I am a Pentax man previously Olympus but IMHO...

Going back to my original question. It does not look like many people return to Pentax once they have tried another brand

I have used pentax or ricoh since the early 80's. I carried on with pentax when I went digital. However a few years ago I wanted to know if I was at fault or my Pentax for birds in flight, so I bought a Canon 30D and sigma 100-300 F/4 HSM to test. I found out it wasn't me that was the problem.... Th...

Me, I have had everything, bought a Canon didn't like it so returned to Pentax, bought a Nikon didn't get on with it so returned to Pentax, bought a MFT system, kept it but bought yet another Pentax, bought a Fuji X100s as I didn't want to carry my Pentax Dslr everywhere hardly used it so you guesse...

Personally I have a Canon 7D and Pentax K-5II, they are pretty evenly matched in all but ISO performance and autofocus. The Pentax is much better when it comes to noise control and the Canon when you need fast accurate tracking and focus speed. I originally bought the Canon because I wanted to u...
