The Light Cafe is for photographers using Digital or Film cameras. We are here to promote learning and sharing with others who have a passion for photography. Besides the numerous critique threads, you will find discussions on Photoshop as well as the traditional darkroom. Studio equipment, items for sale and all the familiar items found in web forums. How are we different? You will not find the normal posting limitations other sites place, and this is not catered to people using dial up computer connections. You can post large images and numerous images per thread. This is especially beneficial for landscape and panoramic photography where the normal posting limits prevent others from seeing decent sized representations of your prints. Finally, offer honest critiques; "Great Shot" is not a critique.

By popular demand, an area specifically for new members to introduce themselves and others welcome them to the community.

When you start to feel comfortable posting, this is a good place for your first one.

Forum for photo critiques and discussions concerning adult portraits and family portraits and heck, even pet portraits go in here. If your photograph contains nudity you are expected to indicate so in the title. i.e. "Hot Bikini Babe (Nudity warning)". This will warn in advance that there is nudity and will allow people to make a decision on whether to open the thread or not.

Forum for photo critiques and discussions concerning sports, sporting events, or any event (Concert, race, soccer, graduation, parade) this would be the correct forum.

Forum for photo critiques and discussions concerning those wild animal safari's in the woods, jungle or your back yard. This would be wild animals, not zoo animals or pets. Flowers, trees, those things that occur naturally on earth.

Any pet or zoo animal threads will be moved to the Everything Else forum...Pet portraits can be posted in the portrait section.

What, you took a great picture that does not fit into any of the above categories? Like that infared flower shot...

This is the place to put all other images.

Post images here you would like assistance with and include in the title "How would you process this"

Post images here you would like people to play with and title them "Take it and play with it"

Post a portion of an image here and title it "What is it" then share the rest of the image after someone guesses it correctly.

By submitting images to this area of our forum permission for others to download and alter the images is automatic.

Have some to share? or have some learnin' to do? This is the place.

Anyone is welcome to write a tutorial of a technique they would like to pass along. Some members will also run a mini-workshop where they post a topic and invite others to follow along and post images to show how they are progressing.

Don't be shy. Don't wait to be invited to post a tutorial. Have something to share, then do it!
