Why do i keep missing this - http://www.ephotozine.com/learn/techniques

It seems like almost every day a fresh technique is posted on epZ.

I miss it as I like checking photo discussions on the forums; so I'd ideally have the latest technique also posted in the forums so that I'd see it each day, and if others had better hints they could comment on it too and keep it current. - just an idea.

Did anyone else miss seeing this technique area for the as long as i have?

I used to follow those as well.
I had dozens of them saved as Pdfs. I lost the lot a while ago when my OS went haywire. They were one of the very few things that I hadn't backed up.
I'm always around in the forums, so I'd also appreciate them being on offer here and as Stuart says, it could lead to some worthwhile discussion. (Although probably not for very long!)

Quote: Yeah! Some miscreant would inevitably come up with 'funny remarks' or 'puns'.

Hi Jas,

It's not so much the "funny remarks" miscreants that spoil these forums as the miscreants that simply want to disagree with whatever's being said.

Quote: The videos are interesting too.

They are Chris but try as I might, I just can't get to grips with learning from videos.
It's the same with any training I do at school (I work in schools). I'm much happier with written instructions.

Quote: Would you like one long forum post that gets updated every day ......

If people are going to comment / discuss a particular "technique" etc. it is going to get a little dis-jointed / difficult to follow if they are ALL in ONE Forum topic.

In any case, I have not stopped by recently so perhaps things have changed, but I thought these daily techniques were linked to the Daily PHOTO Month feature , which had it's own Forum Topic for each day already ?

Could do Nik.

Personally, I'm not really interested in uploading images to it but I do look at the Photo month thing if I see it. It does slip down the list pretty quickly sometimes though.
Another thing; I know that there's a comments box at the bottom but I never seem to see any comments posted. Now, that could be because I don't look or know where to, or it may be that not many people are aware that the box is there.
If we're going to post ideas of our own (and I think that that's a great idea) perhaps the box could be re-positioned to make it more obvious. Above the ads. perhaps?

It does not matter if it slips down the list as all the main articles are in the main techniques section anyway.
It would only stay up in the list of people are discussing it which is how it should be

For me "recent activity" is saved as my home page - so that's just where I start. Other may actually use the proper epz home page but that's just full of photo's

I'm nearly the same.
My showcase is my Epz. homepage but "recent activity" is my first port of call.

Quote: So, why not just check out the technique sections daily just as you do with the Forums ?


It then becomes yet another place that you've got to hunt down. It's bad enough finding things on here as it is. At least if it's in the forums, a lot of us are already there. Also, by using the techniques section, no-one would ever post, or see, other members' comments.
