WOW What A Bow!!!

Idea:
It was mentioned before by someone to me, to mention to you guys that you should start a blog of your photographic endeavours. There are many free blog sites on the web (for those that don't know, its basically an online diary for 'everything'). There's nothing wrong, at all, with showing off! But, while you could post to your blogs to your hearts content, that would be the more relevant place (and other weather-based sites, as I have seen you both frequent) to put in the weather-related pictures, not here, per say.

Is this site going to have that facility? As in could we at some point have a blog for specific topics, where experts in those topics could post about events?

eg. for atmospherics Martin, Conor, JohnF et. al. could have rights to post about current atmospherics and aurorae?

Just a thought the web team might like to look at.

Cheers,

Dave some people like them others dont? Look at the images...there is replies & there is views. We get no where with a 50/50 vote on what can and cant go on the forums. I will asked the question again (we were already told we can) Can we post these images on the forum?

If you're asking me then you're asking the wrong person. I have no say here as I'm not a policy maker here, so post away to your hearts content if you wish.

In the interests of my sanity I have created an Atmospherics forum.

Please use it for atmospheric stuff.

I'll give it a month or so to see how many people start topics on it before we decide whether to keep it or not.

First of all if anyone has been paying attention to myself or Conor's atmospheric images you would have noticed a recurrent trend of late. Since the last 'issue' and with correspondance via several moderators you will see that the day to day posting of these images has been terminated by myself and Conor. Any images of these phenomena that do appear here from me are done so with the justification that they are exceptionally bright or have strong colour intensity, complexity or are of a very photogenic nature and i for one feel they are adequate to share with other observers and imagers. I make no apologies what so ever for this wether anyone likes these phenomena or not becasue i was told to post them in the observing section by the moderators.

Second of all i would fully stand behind the atmospheric thread comming back online....surely it would be a good thing and what harm would it do anyway?

Last but not least are the comments made involving the words 'ego' and 'showing off' which are unjust and only show the transparency of the accusers ego!

Lets get the bows and Haloes the credit they deserve for there rich diversity and beauty!

Good old badgering, I knew you'd come to the rescue Al. :lol:
Conor and Martin, do understand that this was never a personal attack on you two as far as I'm concerned, I just have an opinion on where these type of threads should be.

Good old badgering, I knew you'd come to the rescue Al. :lol:

yep, piss me off enough and I'll do anything for peace and quiet
