How about adding an option for photo info (camera type, lens, films, etc..) in the gallery submissions form? This was one of the great features of National Geographic in years gone by & it lets people know what it takes to make a great photo...what do you think?

An option for suggestions to make great photos? I'm in! I think that this is an excellent way to inform and educate people on how to make excellent pictures for their own good, and for the good of this site (the submition of photos). Right on saltspringer, I am behind you 100%!

Yes, I agree, I work in the photography/digital imaging field, f-stop, exposure, lens, and film speed woud be ideal info to start. Composition, lighting info preferences, etc... would also be imformative. If using digital, resolution and equivalent aperture, shutter speed would be good to know.

Oh yeah that would be sweet!!!!
I like the idea, and I'll speak for my girl too cause she is an avid photographer who is always looking to learn more especially from other climbing photos.
Good Idea.

I think what would be useful is info on the set up eg. ropes and rigging, available angles, gear required and so on

Hmmm, I didn't know it took all that to make a good shot. I thought it was all in the angle and antisipating the move in relation to the shot. All my pictures are taken with a point and shoot.

rrrAdam, that shot appearing on the homepage of you pulling that roof, looked like it was taken with something better than a P&S camera, (good depth of field), seriously, there are some great shots in the photo gallery, knowing the thought process of the photographer and technical details would only serve to improve the memberships ability and interest in posting their shots. Very cool stuff once you get in to it.
Let me know if I can help.

Ah, good, seems like everyone is interested...FYI rradam, it doesn't take much to take one good shot: just luck. To shoot consistently well & come out with a "usable" photo each & every time requires some knowledge of the fundamentals of photography. I'm a nature/landscape photographer by profession but I enjoy shooting on my days off while climbing & what I enjoy the most is getting unique perspectives without all of the fancy rigging of the pros so beta can help with setups as well. Also, if someone did use a P&S to get a great shot it will probably inspire others to do the same: any way you look at it, the photo beta would add an extra dimension to the Galley section that would benefit most visitors
