Decorum in the forum?

Yes, you DO need to stop thinking that way! Remember, it's not the camera that makes the photographer... (although I'd still love to have a 5D! )

I was reading the current issue of Popular Photography today and was looking through the winners of their photo contest. In one of the categories, the winner used a P&S! It was a fantastic photo, too.

I doesn't matter if you're using something YOU don't think is up to par with everyone else here. You can still take take fantastic compositions regardless of which camera you have.

I will second Jim , 100%.

Sorry J T, yours was the first name that came into my head who replies regular as clockwork in my posts...

Well, recently you've really left me no choice.

Agree, and I'd like you to comment on some of my photos.

I've posted them in Critique Corner and in Macro.

Thanks
James

Wow! Duncaji! In a three hour period today you have posted 16 pictures, each one in a different thread! Even Dimitri on a good day isn't going to comment on all of them! I should say that you have also been busy commenting on others' work today, so you are not guilty of the arrogance Dimitri mentions, just an excess of enthusiasm, eh?

I have looked at all of them and will post comments on some. You would be better to space out your posts a bit in time, and group similar themed pictures into a single thread (forum limits permitting).

You are a talented photographer with a good eye for composition. Welcome to the forums!

Thanks Mike, I'll bear in mind your advice. And yes, am enthusiastic about photography. For me it is an art form and something that does envoke emotional responce. I'm no expert, but do like to view others work as it's often hard to judge your own, and as someone commented somewhere here, sometime you can take a picture, think it's amazing, and your partner, friend or other family member will slate it as boring/not for them, which is fair comment if that's what they think.
