About Enthusiastic Amateurs

Enthusiastic Amateurs. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

You know your way round your camera, but you're not going to be making it into the National Geographic, not this week anyway.

A group for the keen flickr few fed up of being critiqued like you just posted a stickman sex drawing in the Louvre; but who don't quite want to post 94 pictures of granny's 80th birthday cake either. Essentially it does what it says on the tin.

Hopefully we can all help this group grow, because its the middle ground which seems to be missing from flickr. Modesty not essential, but definitely preferred.

Rules: Standard flickr rules plus a few minor additions, outside that anything goes - keep it clean, or at least in context; nudity should never appear in the pool or any discussions, if you think you need to show off some nudity then link to it in a post. Due to recent abuses a posting limit has been set at five per day - this was what was previously suggested so it shouln't be any skin off anyone's nose. All pictures posted into discussions should be of the *small* size; as consideration to those with low bandwidth or dial-up connections - not to mention making pages quicker to render and easier to scroll through.

No flaming, trolling blah blah blah you get how it works, be civil to each other, and feel free take part in as many discussions as you can!

Try to encourage others to join -- the more members we have, the more fun we'll all have.

It's not required in any way, but if you feel like doing a little advertising, you can paste this into your comment at the end:

-- Seen in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/enam/">Enthusiastic Amateurs</a> --

No spamming, and no joining just to say "Critique Please" just to bump up your views and comments, I'll take a hard line on this btw!

Please promote the group among your friends and contacts etc (Obey the rules of other groups re: promotion of other groups) The more contributing members we have, the better the discussion will be.

Congratulations to Donny, please, who won March's blur themed challenge:
