... is a forum section for competently made photographs that look like someone who might have a clue of how to use a Leica took them

 

What's so difficult about that? Place all shots showing your right eye (blurred) in (sports and) leisure. Show all shots not showing your eye into other.

Just a slight exaggeration, there, Gary :)

 

I'm prone to that.

 

However, point is that you personally have posted 3x as many posts as the whole world has posted in that Section in all time.

I believe T&I was a new category added with the move from Leica's servers to Andreas' back in the day, not one that carried over from the very traditional pigeonholes originally made on the forum

 

Perhaps it needs a different, broader definition of what we had in mind to go up there

 

It would be a pity to take it down completely and lose anyone's work

God forbid !

 

Not much risk of that though as a quick look reveals that most would go into the Car & Leisure Section and many are duplicates posted by German members. The other one is a landscape.

I agree with this, it would be a good idea. I know what I mean by Street Photography, and no doubt some others will have a different take on it, but, we are all :rolleyes: people interested in photography and I would love to see others view on this. I bet it would be a very well used area.....Come on, we are using Leica cameras!:rolleyes:

Human beings in their environment could be called street photography, especially if they show some unique relationship to the same. I doubt that 10% of this constituency could identify such. I say leave the categories People and forget Street Photography.

Yep, I probably photograph more Buildings, Graffiti, Cars etc than people. Still street though ??

Architecture or landscape. Street photography always imply people on a street or people on public places in general, even indoors. :)

Since 90% of the photos posted under the "People" forum today are taken in public places, and the definitition of "street photography" is vague, why not just consider the "People" forum to be "Street Photography" ?

 

If it splits into two subforums, somone has to lay down specific definition between the two.

 

Actually, what does it matter if it's called "People" or "Street Photos" ?

Not so, as I've already pointed out. Street photography is much broader than that, but then of course there isn't a strict definition of what it is or isn't either!

What can be broader than "people on the street or in public places"? You can scarcely imagine broader.

So is a shot of graffiti "street photography" or not?

 

Regards,

Some would say yes, but then how can e.g. the side of a railway bridge be a "street"? Or a wall on some waste ground? :confused:

 

For me - graffiti goes in "Other" no matter where it was shot.

 

Leave the "People" section as is - it ain't broke, so..... ;)
