Banned subject matter

If we banned everything that was deemed boring there would be nothing to photograph. Personally I can't stand the glut of barn door /old building shots that seem to be quite fashionable at the moment but rather than wanting to ban them (seems a good idea to me) I just keep quiet and let others that like that sort of thing enjoy them.

There are no boring subjects, only boring photographs! There are a lot of very boring landscape photos in the gallery but I would never want to ban landscape photography. I find steam train photos very tedious as a rule, but occasionally one comes along that blows my socks off. One thing I agree on is that we all need to make our photos a bit more interesting and memorable, and filter out the real yawners - especially in the gallery section of this site.

Well said Pentaxophile.
I have to say generally I am not a fan of mono (now there's real heresy ) but I would not ask for them to be banned. Different people like different things - isn't that what the forum is about? I cannot see who's interest it would serve.
As to the swans, if they were carrying coconuts, they would be the African swan.

I think Ken is being a tease.
I loath bird shots - can't stand birds in general (unless hanging from the cat's mouth) and have seen perhaps two photographs of birds with any merit at all. But I wouldn't ban them as it gives a lot of people a lot of pleasure and surely that's partly what a hobby is for?

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.
Apparently.

I often wonder what would have happened if colour technology had come first

Sometime I wonder if not commenting on photographs is worse than criticising them. The photographer knows everyone thinks their picture is crap but doesn't know why.
