[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2098744, member: 13307"]I think it could be useful for the reasons you mention. Stickies would be a very useful thing, although, to be devil's advocate, I have certain CT Photography threads bookmarked within my browser. I also think the PTB are correct that it might not be super active, unless certain members (like me) were consistently active within the new forum. I suppose the main question (for me) would be: Would people actually post pictures there in lieu of a previously existing forum? I like the idea of stickies and FAQ's - also like the idea of digital imaging-specific contests (like I've seen over at the CS boards, where one person will send a certain coin to multiple people, who will all image that coin to the best of their ability, and then the results are placed online for all to judge/critique.) I like the idea for rules for critiquing digital imaging, just like I've had in studio art classes. Example: another member clicking the "Like" button might be a one-second boost to the ego, but actually getting into areas like lighting, focus, luster, toning, exposure, etc would be much more useful to the actual production of a quality image. This may be off topic, but the idea just occurred to me: I wonder what a CT mentoring program would be like? I was thinking about your idea (separate Digital Imaging forum) but with a Sticky for currently existing digital imagers (i.e., those offering their services or maybe the more experienced?) and I wondered if anything would be gained by having a mentor direct a newcomer to numismatic digital imaging. Perhaps someone might not want to post their beginning "work" on an open forum, but may relish the opportunity for guidance from a more experienced member? Just an idea.[/QUOTE]
