In reality for me what Eric says is the truism.
We used to have lot more to discuss as the cameras were still evolving. I would say that the current state of evolution of the Nikon camera is very well advanced.
If you look at some of the new base cameras D3200 this camera would knock spots off the old D1 in terms of MP, sophistication, rapid focusing, exposure accuracy with normal light and flash, etc.
So I think that whilst some of us still feel we need or could learn a lot more about Photoshop the camera itself is largely sorted. OK there are always some tricks and tips and twiddles that we could all use and find out but they are only a 2% item.
Over the last few years I have been thinking about my photography and my use of Photoshop and whether I feel the need to emulate the overblown and overPhotoshopped images I see in some/many amateur and semi-pro magazines.
Interestingly when you look at the magazines that are targeted at the professional photographer there seems to be much less emphasis on this aspect except for making product shots look better.
So my emphasis has been to explore other avenues of Photoshop to make sure that my presentation is improved and my content before Photoshopping is improved.
Regarding the forum I was thinking that I would poll members on their enthusiasm to participate in a monthly project.
No prizes, just a single or maybe three photos from each participating member which maybe voted on as best image of the month. But really it would be a chance to get out and take more photos an to display your images taken recently to fulfill a project brief that changed monthly.
Any comments on this idea?.
