This group is dedicated to pictures and photography in The Orange County area. Pictures of people, places, and etc. Orange County can be really beautiful, and it can also be really ugly, depending on what you're looking for, and what you actually run into.
What & Who: Anyone can be a part of this group, as long as the pictures posted were taken of things/people/etc in Orange County.
If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please let me know or post them in the group. Thank you for viewing this group and for being part of it too. :)
2 Rules:
1 : Photo MUST tag/mention where in the area/city it was taken. The picture must be taken in the Orange County area .
2: Modeling or portrait pictures [meaning focus only on the face/body and nothing else] are allowed only if the picture is submitted with the proper city tag, the picture is outdoors or shows the outdoors somehow [taken outdoors, near a window, some/any landmark/object, etc], the picture is not confusing [like taken in a corner in your bathroom showing only your fingers and the bathroom corner wall in macro], picture mentions the city in its description/tags, and if the picture was not submitted to too many modeling groups.
2 Suggestions:
1 : If possible, please try to take non-stereotypical pictures of Disney, regardless of the camera/equipment you use. Search "Disney" in the pool and you'll see a lot of great examples taken from cell phone cameras to regular cameras and more. If your picture is not different, try to add a story to it to make it different. You can always ask for help if you wish.
2 : Heavily Photoshopped/edited pictures, which turns them into something more of a painting or non-photographed picture, and thus makes them hard to identify [that they were once pictures], should be strongly avoided.
