Dude... we've been over that before. Get over it. Read the posts discussing the use of those terms. Stop trying to repeat your own erroneous version of history. Get over yourself. You've got your panties in a bunch and making a complete fool of yourself. Calm down, take a deep breath, and get over yourself.Right. Before you could welcome me you had to first non-apologetically call me "weird" and an "elitist". But such is your archetypal role on the forum. The guy with 10,000 posts who wants to mediate every dispute, get the upper hand at all cost, comment on every post (with relevance or not), pass judgment on every other member, and enforce the pecking order. Now, is the time to play up how magnanimous you are after everyone forgets that it was YOU who sparked what is now considered my bullying, with your ignorance of the ad hominem fallacy. But that's all old now, right?
In this post mortem period, the smallest, slightest, and least significant contributors to the original content do the loudest whining. It's actually their purpose on any forum.
In any case where I comment on how a thread is proceeding I read and consider every post in the thread.I very much doubt that the holier than thou crowd, now referring to me as bully, have even read the thread.
So, it took 500 posts for people to say they weren't interested?
The thread is over?In this post mortem period...
Let’s hope.The thread is over?
Please don’t go away totally. The ignore function...I'm outta here; no more Reg threads for me.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Great to get to know you.
Ethics and Philosophy threads aren't always ethical or philosophical. Don't worry about it, the forum is a broad church.I'm outta here; no more Reg threads for me.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Great to get to know you.
More honest, Technically compatible and Historically valid."Photography is film."
"Videography."
Digitography?
Computography?
Output alone, or usage alone, are not enough parameters to make specific descriptive terminology for something.
Maybe most of this IS boring but maybe, just maybe, some of this energy will be used, in the future, to discuss what makes a good picture (not photograph). Many "artists" will deny that there are "rules" to making a "picture". However, if you back therm into a corner, most will admit that there are some things that most/all good pictures have in common. Composition, often discussed (not here), often berated (not here), but very, very important. Why are most pictures (not just photographs) rectangular? Often discussed but not here. Camera Club photography is frequently scorned by this group But if you were in a "good" Camera Club, much time was spent talking about "pictures" not equipment or chemistry. We don't do that here and I think we should. I am no expert and feel that I have much to learn about how to make a good "picture", not just a technically good "photograph". Am I wrong? Hurry! I am 87 and might not have much time!....Regards!ROTFLMAO!!

BTW, I think most photos are rectangular simply because most subjects don't have the same horizontal and vertical dimensions, not because there's any disadvantage to using a square format.
i think everything is rectangular because windows are rectangular
and whether it is a photograph or painting or whatever ( except for sculpture ) people
are looking out a window ... i like round or oblog photographs but getting round or oblong
photographs framed is a lot more difficult than square or rectangular ones ...
i say except sculpture because sculpture mimics the 3d world and nothing is really square in real life
( i don't think, but maybe im wrong )... except for spongebob and his cousin stanley.
Photos are rectangular because that is easiest, cheapest, and least wasteful shape to mass produce.
Stamping out circles or cloud shaped paper would generate a ton of waste and require more expensive equipment.
Kind of like Henry Ford said: “My Model T comes in your favorite color, if your favorite color is black”. The realities of production influence more than you’d think.
All visual Arts even before industrial era, are rectangular, because hopefully we have Horizontal Eyes, not vertical like aliens.Photos are rectangular because that is easiest, cheapest, and least wasteful shape to mass produce.
But square is the perfect format. That is what Hasselblad advertised for years. Besides how many painters over the centuries used the 2:3 format of 35mm?
Ah gotcha. I think the Golden Ratio may come into play a bit.
