Hi,

Posting photos can be a good opening for discussion of photography but
members would be more thoughtful about their images.

Here are a few things that I would appreciate:

First don't post a whole gallery. Who has time for that? It can
take several minutes to examine someone's photo. Two or three
pictures are plenty.
Second don't post anything you don't care enough about to explain
your setup, lighting and camera.
Third write a paragraph or so of what you are trying to convey with the
photo. This can be on an emotional or mechanical level.

I completely agree that all postings should be with the intentions of
discussing photography.

Thanks,
Ron
