One of the main changes in the Corner Forums that we’re making is the addition of the Photo Sharing Corner - a place where you can just share photographs without having to worry about feedback or critique, or having to provide EXIF data or anything like that. Want to show off a photo of your cat making “that face” or a couple photos you took at the BBQ last night? The Photo Sharing Corner is the place for those type of photos.

The PhotographyCorner Forums can be a daunting place for even the most “forum-savvy” photographers. There are currently nine categories, twenty-six forums (if you include the Premiere Members stuff), and almost thirty sub-forums. That’s a lot of choices (some might say too many, and that’s something we’re looking at… but that’s a discussion for another day)! As part of our on-going upgrades to the Corner Forums, we’ve added a new feature to the Photo Gear For Sale forum.

Remember last week when we finally moved into our new, super-fast server? Well, we’re finally all settled in. The Corner is faster than ever, but we’re not done there! Later today (9am EST Monday morning), we’re going to shut the forum down for a bit, and upgrade the forum software. It honestly shouldn’t be offline for more than an hour, but expect the forum to be a little buggy throughout the day, as we fix minor issues. Once we come back online, I’ll post in the Corner Blog again, and we’ll try to get everything fixed ASAP. For further updates while the server is done, you can follow the Corner more closely by following the Corner on Twitter. Oh, and look for a special announcement late on Monday once the upgrade is complete…

It’s an announcement that a lot of you have been waiting for - a new sub-forum in the Feedback Corner - the Photojournalism/Street Photography forum! If you’re that person we see wandering around the streets with a camera glued to your face, this is the perfect place to put your photographs. Over the next week or two, the new moderators will have the super-fantastic-amazing-fun job of moving photos posted in other sections of the Feedback Corner to the new forum, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to start posting in there. If you’ve got photojournalism or street photography photos you want feedback on, start posting them! If you just want to share those photojournalism & street photography photos, we have a specific section in the Corner Galleries as well: Photojournalism/Street Photography Photo Gallery. Enjoy (and you’re welcome street-photography-lovers!). Oh, and for the mods sake, make sure to read the Feedback Corner Guidelines before posting in there.
