I've realized that one reason the PDML has helped me improve my photography is not only feedback on my photos, but looking at other people's photos and reading the feedback on them. It has exposed me to different styles of photography, given me a feel what other people like, or dislike, and why, and in many cases set the bar up much higher than when all I ever did was pretty much look at my own photos. I've been on a few other forums which have a lot of people who are just barely past the stage of understanding how f/stop affects depth of field and think that makes them a technical expert.
One thing I haven't seen a lot of is discussion on how to give and take criticism. And a related discussion of what venues on the net, or off, are good for that sort of discussion. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
