Someone knows a good asian photography forum?
On google i found some forum but rather general.
I would try find something on the same style of this forum.
Now i'm thinking this is an international forum, so I have thought that maybe I can get the answers because I have noticed that some Asian users is present here.
Initially I have thought to Japan but if there were large Asian forum in other parts I could maybe give us a look.
I'm just curious. :)
Note:
I do not deny that part of this curiosity stems from the vision of the anime. :lol:
Also I'm curious of photo of their events (not only the cosplay event).

Asian per se? No. But truly international? You're looking at the best right now. POTN is owned by a Finn, communicates in English, and has members from all over the world, quite a few of whom are in various parts of Asia.

Yes you are right but i'm thinking of something less US-European centric.
Clearly for the the moment I only scratched the surface of this forum but there are things both in terms of traditions and points of view which I think are less well represented and I would be curious about a different point of view.
If an American or an European tourists visit these places tend to give a certain interpretation, but I will be curious to see the direct interpretation of the inhabitants themselves.
I imagine that there is something that don't jumps the eye to the tourist.
As always is just curiosity. ;)

You will not find much for photo forums here. The majority on photos that you will find are blogs, blogs and more blogs. I'm getting that you are looking for visitors views. From the blogs, you will be able to get that. Anime and cosplay are in a different category and there's a lot of it here.
By the way, from your other post, don't expect to find English on the sites. You may get visitors giving the effort to answer in English but it is not to be expected. Anyway, here's a quick search that I did....good luck and have fun.

Thanks everyone.
haisai-ojisan i see some links a lot of image are funny but there are also some very interesting (for example this (http://cosplay.photograph.bz/myalbum+photo.lid+197.htm) a very cute girl with a really cute dress).
However, I expressed myself badly, sorry, what I meant is that this curiosity came to me after the vision of the anime and yes I like also cosplay, but
but also other things.

Nice.
For the moment i see only some shot relative people.
The only one that i don't see is bangalorephotographyclub because it's requires the registration and for the moment I prefer to take a look from outside.
Between the pictures I see also some fashion shot on models of that place, very beautiful, it would be interesting if some author make a jump here to post.
Ah yes i see also this topic Canon EF -S 18-55 (http://www.jjmehta.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1245014379) if the author send his pictures on this forum Canon EF -S 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 USM (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=185522&highlight=18-55) I think would be more good examples of what you can get from the kit lenses before discard it in a hurry without even try to do better.

Alessandro, if its only pictures u wish to see, I would suggest Flickr. there are quite a few India specific groups and members there.

Thank you for remind me, I'm registred centuries ago on Flickr, but I find that the main problem, even in the case of groups more or less big, is an interaction much lower than a forum.
For me flickr, although there are interesting groups, for example strobits, is similar a sea island with few links.
There are many interesting discussions that start but then are not developed,
try to ask something and maybe the answer will arrive some months after,
etc.
