What I'm interested is the exchange of IDEAS. Not techniques.
Techniques are essential, but it depends of the purpose each one has. What i find universal and never discussed, are the ideas (or lack of...) behind our work.
Not everyone has an interest in producing "art photos", but even the carefree hobbyist can use a little level of thought in what he is doing. I dont mean to have an "intellectual discussion" using obscure words and turn every discussion into a lecture to how off my "suposed knowledge".
Some years ago i started to work on some subdgets over time, using all my available time to pursue them, thay wre based on personal preferences and logistics, and that is a interesting discusion to have with other people. Why are pursuing this or that subdgets, why do you use this camera and aproach end not that one.
Ideas are rarely touched, techniques are overpresent, can we ballance that a bit ?

Ok I will throw out some stink bait. I am often amazed at how many people think that they MUST have the latest and greatest new equipment. They have great stuff but no idea of what to do with it. Others take junk and excel which begs the question, "Just how much of a part of the total success is the tool, and how much of it is the person running the tool?"
