The one thing that seems to be eluding some in the Photo Gallery is that the section has specific rules. It does state that the poster may ask others to comment.


This section is for posting pictures you took. If you want to ask others to comment on your choice of subjects, composition, settings, show off your pictures to others, or ask for general critique, then please do so in the Photo Gallery section.

Why do folks insist on commenting when their comments aren't asked for. The polite thing might be to ask "May I make a suggestion?"

I have a D500, tamron 18-400, Have been taking pictures a long time, but am a complete amateur. I usually keep my setting on raw. While in charleston, I noticed it got switched to j peg/ raw. When viewing on the computer, The jpeg Pictures far, much more vivid. The sky is much more blue. I was going to delete the j. Peg pictures and move raw to adobe to play with. Can someone help me understand Why they look so different. Is it because j peg is making the corrections in the camera? Is sending the raw picks to adobe, A good way for me to learn. I plan to make a book for my mother to have memories. What If I get lucky and get an image of the angel oak tree that's good enough to convert to print at larger than 16 x20. I am way below the level of people on this forum but. I would appreciate a quick start of information. I was pretty successful with Previous photos and editing but it's been a long time.

But if you need help with a specific issue, then please post in the Photo Analysis section.

Maybe there is a difference between pictures and photos

Do you know of others?

I’ve read through Rick’s original post and several pages on this feed that followed. They’ve made me think about which of my photos please me and the reasons why. I rarely post unless I think I have something worth looking at.

My first question (to myself) is “What makes a good photograph”? To me, it is rarely a photo that is technically brilliant. It’s because a photo says something about the subject. In my case the subject is usually human.

The handful of my people photos that stand out over the years are great because they reflect the personality of a person or reflect something that was happening when it was shot. I know they are good because of the responses I get from those who know the subjects. Those photos are way more meaningful than a so-called professional shot taken in a studio and sold for large sums of money.

Here’s an idea for you all. When you want to post a photo to UHH, in the Gallery or somewhere else, how about explaining why you like it and why you think it’s worth showing. If we all understood that, we would probably view your photos in a different light.
