[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 350312, member: 9240"] If it was [I]only[/I] about sharing the idea, yes. But again that's only part of what it's about. This is a discussion forum, and the idea would be to present an educational concept and then have the opportunity to talk about it. There are photo wikis out there and I visit them when I want to learn something. But it's just strange as heck that a [B][I]Learning Photography[/I][/B] subforum has no real section on photography education. Not sure why you're not getting what I'm talking about but everyone else seems to get it. I'm talking about a place where I can post links to things like... [B][I]Pro Shooter A Talks About The Keys To Composition Kelby on How and When to break the Rule of Thirds McNally on The 5 Greatest Lessons I've Learned Shooting With Someone Else [/I][/B]... Where the heck does someone post that so it doesn't get pushed down by the type of threads I mentioned in the initial post? There is [I]absolutely nowhere[/I] a person can go to on this forum and search that specific subforum for information about [B]photography[/B]. Not "How do I bracket with my D5300?" or "Why are my D600 colors yellow?" or "Why is continuous high stopping after 3 frames?" My take is that this forum is probably over-organized in some places and has no real organization in others. I know there's an overhead for every new forum, particularly in the work it creates for the mods. My solution? Take everything other than [I]Tutorials[/I] that's currently under [I]Learning Photography[/I] and move it into the [I]Photography[/I] section, because it's not about learning 9 times out of 10, it's about showing your photos. Then move [I]Flashes, Computers & Software [/I]and even [I]Photography Business[/I] under [I]Learning Photography[/I] and add a [I]Photography Education [/I]sub-forum (or simply [I]Education[/I]?) for the types of threads I'm talking about. There's a lot of great information contained on this forum already, but frankly a new person would have a hell of a hard time finding some of it, which may explain why we get so many repeat questions (I blame 60% of that on internet-inspired laziness, but you get my point). Again, I appreciate what you guys do here, and my complaining about the organization is not a complaint as much as it is justification for why I think this sub-forum is so necessary. [/QUOTE]
