smg_doug Posted May 22, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Deleted after reading rules, seems my photos are not welcome if I don't shoot them with Leica, seems pretty rigid to me to have to run off to another forum to share pictures you take with other equipment. whatever.

Peyton Hoge Posted May 22, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2007 It's a LEICA site!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smg_doug Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted May 22, 2007 I won't dignify this with further comment, or pictures. I went and reviewed the rules, and wasn't I shocked to see the narrow definition of photography encompassed by this site. I'll have to post my images where they were welcome regardless of equipment used I guess. I can't imagine everyone staying in a glass fish bowl, isolated from the photographic world. I have a lot of nice photos taken with Nikon gear. Not seeing those and sharing perspectives will be the real loss, not that I can't share my pictures. My pictures are at Smugmug for the world to see every day. Please do a photo check in your signature and make sure every photo presented in your PBASE account was taken with Leica, if this is to be the narrow definition- Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peyton Hoge Posted May 22, 2007 Share #4 Posted May 22, 2007 Pictures in pbase accounts can be shot with any type of camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted May 22, 2007 Share #5 Posted May 22, 2007 This is the "Leica Camera User Forum". It does exactly what it says on the tin. I fail to see what's wrong with that. There are hundreds of non camera specific photo sharing sites "out there", and even some specifically for Nikon users. There's even one very famous one that even I know of, and I have never owned a Nikon. Why would anyone want to post Nikon photographs on a Leica-specific site? This fit of pique seems ridiculous to me. I have shots made with my old Olympus OM2 kit. I wouldn't dream of showing them here. Why not post some of your shots made with a Leica, or Leica lens?

smg_doug Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted May 22, 2007 There's nothing wrong, except for how my friendly co-member handled it. Rude and not nice. There are ways for that to be handled, by a moderator if it's a problem, I should receive a nice note from a moderator or the entire thread deleted, not have another member try to publically humilate me. I seriously did not know the rule. I thought it was a photo section, not an equipment section. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted May 23, 2007 Share #7 Posted May 23, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I thought it was a photo section, not an equipment section. No excuse for rudeness of course, but then some people do like to 'troll' as well. It is indeed a photo section, for photos taken with Leica gear. Most of us own/use other cameras too, but there are other specific forums for those or you can include a link to your own website to let others see your non-Leica work.
