The Human Form As Art (1 Viewing)
Expression of esthetic and emotional qualities in the human body. This forum, like any fine art gallery, will be curated to develop and encourage a high artistic standard. Photographs that are posted are "submitted" work. From these, some will be selected for this forum to view and be discussed. Non-selection of an image should never be taken as a rejection, rather that the work does not fit with our current goals. We encourage the broadest submissions and we predict that our opinions might often match yours. Pictures that are inappropriate include (but are not limited to) snapshots, photojournalism or "cheesecake" glamor shots. Decision will not be perfect, right, or the best possible, but will be final and not negotiable. However, the likelehood is that most phortgraphers know what fine art might include and would therefore have no issues with this policy.

Still Photo (1 Viewing)
Here ReidReviews.com subscribers are especially welcomed. So although Still Photo is not connected to the Reid Reviews site, the feeling is, we hope, sustained. We'll explore the process and tools in photography as a visual art, but the focus is on the picture we want to make, more than the tools. Any picture, camera, lens or genre might be involved. This is meant to be a haven for serious photographers, professional or amateur, where people communicate respectfully. Some of the topics may arise from articles on Reid Reviews while many others will not. However this is open to all.

Continuous and Strobe Lighting. (The Sun is considered continuous!) Great ideas are really ten a penny! Technique in stting up the subject is, of course, essential. However, the ability to bring out form, texture, tonality and color is where the skill in lighting provdes all the keys to engraving one's ideas on the delivered picture.

Photography as Art (3 Viewing)
Imagery where the photographer has expressed feelings and vision in an image. Even if the effort is incomplete the work is considered art, as art is an active progressive iterative process to render the imagined into a physical form. We'd include simple and derived photographic images and even multimedia works. Here is also the place for art inspired by prose or poetry or other art.

Music Photography (1 Viewing)
Photography inspired by music or the inverse. We invite a link to a free or inexpensive licensed source or that everyone knows so people can hear the music associated with the photograph. We really want creative work which connects music to photography by inspiration! Yes, pictures of performers are allowed, but please also create your own photographs which illustrate the music. This site is moderated so each musical composition will be considered on it own with the broadest interests. The same rules for the lyrics applies as to images in OPF.
