I started this group and pretty much making it up as I go along. I think this will be a fun group full of interesting ideas and activities. But before we go any further, this group does have a couple rules. We better get this out of the way first.
- All photos have to be your own. Photos from your children may be an okay exception as long as you mention that. Photos taken from Google, Deviantart, Elfwood, Flickr and the sort are not. (unless you happen to be a member of such groups, then you can upload your own.) If you do take someone else's photo, chances are you will be found out and your photos removed, possible copyright conflicts or all kinds of bad things will happen. Plus it's not fun to show off someone else's work. Part of the fun and challenge of the group is to get YOU out more to enjoy the process and fun of taking your own pictures. After all most of photography is going out there and experiencing whatever it is you're shooting. You're telling a story through your own photos. Not taking someone else's story.
- Keep it clean. Common sense rules. I doubt I need to explain this. Please keep photos and discussions suitable for general audiences.
Okay I lied, there's a third rule.
- Most importantly, have fun! You don't need to be a photographer to join. All you need to be is a member of this site, have a camera, and a joy of taking pictures. It doesn't have to be a fancy camera, just one that can get your photos on the computer. Upload them through your profile, and linkk to the discussion topics here. Take pictures of whatever is around you. You don't need to go far to get a good picture.
