  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

betterphohto.com has many challenges, as well as Fredmeranda.com They both also have forums dedicated to critiquing.

One site that is really only one-minded (such as myself) is fencecheck.com. But they're all a bunch of air-heads like myself. Check out the site and you'll know what I mean. haha

And also, those guys are very honest (respectful) with their critiques as well.

I completely agree with gingersnap, but it's so hard to fit in with those who just want to keep it as a hobby or just want awesome pics for their personal photo albums. That's the biggest problem I run into.

The second biggest problem would be those who forget what it was like when they were just hobbyist. I want great vacation and family photos; I'm not looking for tips on how to set up the next bridal party for a paying customer. I guess there's always a fear of one going pro and being the competition. I find many online forums are quite snooty.

It really depends on the type of photography you wish to pursue, as well as the level. If you want to take your photography to a pro level you don't have to do it for a living. But going where the pros are will improve your skills and push you to perfect your art with more challenging assignments.

I'm a pro children's photographer. Anyone interested in portraiture is welcome to PM me for some sites that may help.
