Pictures are pictures taken for memory sake, keepsake, like you mentioned, birthday's, annivesaries, new born. These are pics we can relate to sharing joys. These are however not to be put in the same wavelength as portraits. Snap shots are snap shots. In whichever way we turn it, it never measures up to that of a Photography Portrait. One where countless behind the scenes put a face to a crime.

Portrait shots must be shot posed, I learned something new again today.

I have never belittle any forms of pictures, never did in my years of the trade. I see umpteen joy in a pic snap by point and shoot, but then again, I never could have term the people who shot these as 'photographers'. Take it literally, it is. I believe many would think would agree this is a portrait forum, a forum where one would learn tips on photography and perhaps give good critics to improve., and not just showcasing how cute a baby is, whether the baby is bathing or eating. I appreciate the efforts put in by people in this forum that painstakingly upload the images for us to linger on memories, but it's not feasible in this part of the forum, even the moderators would agree.

Right. So we shouldn't show pictures that are of standards and not posed.

As a photographer by virtue, I've been on diving trips for the past 8 years and have shot many underwater images which I thought they were well done, but you don't see me putting images in the underwater forum, because I have nothing to share, or nothing to showcase for others to learn or critic. My equipment is going to 'WOW' people for sure, but am still thinking I've more to go. Being a good photography on land doesn't mean I'm a natural at it.

So what is he trying to say? Don't post images unless it makes the mark.

My point here is if that is photography, I don't see a point being in this industry where I was taught precision, and that if my pictures are not good enough, I ain't close enough...

How does one judges if his images are good enough? Heh. Weird isn't it, isn't it what the photographer thinks of it him/herself?

Am not here for any forms of arguments, just thought we put things in the right perspectives.

Right perspectives, who's right and who's wrong?
