Many "spotter" hobbyists post their photos to specialized sites, such as airliners.net for airplanes. And there are tons of photos on such sites, these photographers jut seem to hang out at airports around the world.

I'm pretty sure there are a couple of people on here who are mostly interested in train photos. I saw someone mention that recently, but can't recall what thread.

@markjwyatt is definitely right. Some people really stick to what interests them. Some people like trees. Some people like flowers. Helmut Newton, for instance, really only liked naked women. And David Hamilton really only liked naked young girls. Maybe liking trains is a bit less loaded.

It's no humanly possible to no take boring photographs, as the human race has too many variables, meaning human beings.

Technically perfect photographs can be boring, depending on what the image displays, so can "inspired" abstracts and innovated technics!

Even the best action shots in the World, must find an audience that values and appreciates it image and whatever else went into it.

This conversation comes down this, which I learned many years back with my art(s).

90-95 percent of the people that came into my studio space on the monthly Charlotte Art Crawl, could careless for my work, but that did no matter, because the 10% that lived my work, were my audience, my patrons, appreciating and buying what I did.

I did whatever I felt like, with NO considerations of what a future audience might like or find acceptable.

You see, working to please others is a marketing scheme, and no matter how good at it you are, the majority of humans will find it "ho hum".

Always create as you want and are able, doing your best each time and restarting and reshooting as many times as it takes to please yourself, but remembering even your 'boring work' might be just the thing someone or ones find exciting and desirable.

Let your viewers decide what they like and, those that keep coming back, for your works. they are your true audience and patriots, no the people that could care less for anything you do.

Listing to them is a waste of time, period.

Good advice Eli. You'll never please everyone so you might as well do what you like.

...Seems like the same thing....

I noticed that too. It made me chuckle!

The difference is only where one wants to go. Everyone has their own destination...one foot after the other.

I hate spell check!

 

[Don_ih]

I hate spell check!

No, Eli, you hate the word "not".

 

[eli griggs]

No, Don, I simply do no use the word 'no*'.

But I do hate spell check for "editing" after a message is composed and send is hit.

PS; I will, however, use the word "knot".

It never does this.
But spell check does edit as you type, and it is often the case that one doesn't necessarily notice the changes until after one has hit "send".

Matt, I've checked and found that it does on occasion do exactly as I put forth.

There are many times I've erred so, as a consequence, I made particular effort to see what is happening and found, after posting, the editing has changed post sending.

Cheers.

There might be slight time lags - the post actually happening a fraction of a second after the send button is pressed, giving a very small window of time for spell check to finish what it has already started - but that is a function of your browser and probably things like your cache, but there certainly aren't any machine or software generated changes happening on the forum itself. All edits require intentional human intervention, and are done in real time.

No, this issue is no related exclusively to the forums here at Photrio.com, that is already clear to me.
