New Rule...

Huh. Well, personally I am completely above all of that. I take photos for my own pleasure only, and I don't give a crap if anyone likes them, ever. That's why I post them here, where no one will ever see them.

Me, too. I post mine here, so that nobody will ever like them.

Mark,
I don't mind people labeling an image as "test" or "not final" or "in progress," etc., especially when they are looking for help for a problem printing, etc. And, let's face it, some images are tests.

I admit it, I was just being a grump when I posted!

Posting test when looking for information to sort out a problem is fine, of course, but I've noticed on this and most other groups and forums a proclivity to posting images with the comment, "just testing a new lens" or such, and it feels like the image is disqualified before I even look at it.

I'll try being less grumpy, if only as a test...

I object! I propose a new rule against proposals of 'no new rules'!

Rules rule the roost! And anyone breaking the rules must supply their own super-glue!

I'm guilty of this sometimes, but I never intend to hide my ego (or forestall criticism) behind the fact that the image is a mere test. In most cases I am trying out a new batch of old, off-beat film and I post my test shots with exposure and development info in the off-chance that it may help someone else who comes across the same film in the future and is looking for a reference point.

Etiquette rule-

When you comment on the image, quote the post but delete the image tag. Then everyone knows what you are talking about and the images are not repeated ad nauseum.

My 2¢

Then again I hate rules.
