Is there interest out there for a similar thread where only HQ pics under controlled settings are allowed?

The idea would be to work on our photography skills, to critique shots, and try to improve in general?

Essentially, pics would need to be gallery quality instead of desktop quality. I'm not trying to step on toes here, it's just that this seems more like a picture party thread where we don't really comment or discuss the pictures or how we take them.

What is this "professionalism" you speak of?

As am i. Even though i lack the tools for such an endevour, i'd be way interested to look at a thread like that.

It's a fine idea. Since photography is an art form, should it maybe live in the art forums? Or, one step further, what if there was a gallery forum where each member could start their own gallery thread? Just riffin' here.

I think we have that, it's called the photo blitz.

Ya true true, but I thought photo blitz implied photo comics. Like your cool one.

No, just make a thread and post your pictures.

For some reason Wheeljack brandishing Megatron looks amazing!

Photo Blitz is for any fancy photography!

As for own galleries, Share Your Collection takes that role up. So we're covered for now. :-P

I've only ever been over there to see SW's comic and a hand full of others. I really should get out more :roll:

.
And ya, I just use the Collect-o-tron as my gallery, so good point there. But I would never claim to be a "photographer".

Lube - Jack DOES look B.A. with that Megablaster in his hand! Nice pics, nice poses! :APPLAUSE:

That little dude in the middle is named Focus. He's from a non-Hasbro transforming toyline called Convertors Spies. He's a cool little dude!

So I was digging around in some of my bins the other day and I managed to find my Universe Depth Charge! 11 years later, and he's still got all his parts! At first I thought he was missing 2 of his discs, but nope! He apparently originally only came with 5 (while the Beast Wars guy had 7), so he's all here! This pleases me.

I don't really plan to get much more of the RID toyline. However the Kre-O's I might just go in for. I've already got me the Custom Kreon Steeljaw here! He's a cool dude with some neat parts. I don't plan on getting the Warrior Class figure, so this will be it for me in getting a Steeljaw figure!
