I agree with this post, just because you are going somewhere different why do you need to take different camera equipment. The only real consideration is the weight of it especially when flying and/or hiking etc.

Great response whereby I totally agree with you..

If the I'm going to <x>, what camera / lens / tripod / etc should I take questions were posted directly into the Chit Chat section, where they belong, I don't think anyone would have an issue. Now, if we could get ADMIN to move them based on user reported issues, things would be even better.

How is "what camera / lens / tripod" not photography related?

If anything belongs in Chit-Chat it is threads like this one.

I pm'd admin, asking if he would move topics like this and Friday's complaint about expensive equipment vs. free editing software - topics that are just complaints about other UHH users - but he said no, they are related to photography...

They generate traffic, traffic = $$$. UHH is a business after all.

No, it isn’t just you, there are, as you can see, many other little girls, who feel just like you.

Besides the physical unattractiveness many of you have to deal with, how do you guys look in the mirror every morning, seeing the emotional ugliness that is looking back at you?

Is this what happens when you men get old? It is very ugly, let me tell you.

BUT, there is good news.

1 - you can skip the threads you don’t care for, after all, as far as I know, no one is forced to read every thread

2 - you can log out and find a different message board, a forum, where if you behaved in this manner would ban your a$$ in a heart beat, so you would have something else to complain about.

3 - and this is what I would suggest: start your own threads, that way you and everyone else can read about topics that meet YOUR standards.

PS: here are a few honorable mentions

1 - try improving your photography (Gene, this doesn’t apply to you )

2 - go outside and just take pictures, since we know that #1 isn’t going to happen.

3 - try to remember, that we are still in the United States Of America. A country that is still FREE!!!!.

If freedom of expression, freedom of speech isn’t your cup of tea on a private forum, where you are a guest at no charge?

There is still NOTH KOREA. I can assure you, that government would love to have you.

You're right. I remember when there was more discussion about photographic subjects. I've been tempted to start a thread "What have you learned recently about photography?"

Bill_de Loc: US

I learned what camera, lens, and tripod to take on my trip to the Grand Canyon.

The devil made me do it.

Hey, hey - the only complaint topics I've seen on UHH were initiated by men, or as best can be determined by names, avatars, and so forth to be men

And why don't you? Or revise that idea to be slightly less negative, slightly more constructive.

You apparently spend a lot of time in chit chat and The Attic. Is that because you feel there is nothing of value in main discussion? Be part of the solution!

Trust me, it drives the message across a lot better than little boys would
