dov makabaw Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Anyone know if there are any published criteria regarding what should/shouldn't go in/under each category heading? I find some of them are a little hard to fathom and need a Dummies Guide! Architecture and interiors (does this mean anything with a building in it or is is specifically an architectural shot?) Archive or historical (what exactly constitutes archive / historical?) Business (is this that different from industry?) Industry and agriculture (primary, secondary, tertiary type industries? e.g. farming, shipbuilding, banking etc?) Landscapes (Cityscapes, too?) Lifestyle (Struggle with this one - it is so broad!) Travel (sounds straightforward but is it?) Thx in advance. John Thanks for raising this John - I am also stumped on this one Architectural - it has a building in it Archival/Historical - its an old building Business - it has a cafe Industry - they make souvenirs Landscape - its not portrait Lifestyle - people go there Travel - it is not next door After much thought I gave up on the first pic I tried to categorise. IMO too ambiguous to be helpful. This deserves a greenie. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 When choosing a category, I try to remember what I had in mind when I decided to take the picture. Was I thinking travel, architecture, background, etc. Sometimes, of course, I didn't have anything in mind when I pressed the shutter. Those are the really tough images to categorize.

Colblimp Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 If we don't categorise our images, is that going to have a detrimental effect? I did try to categorise images, but IMO a lot of the categories are irrelevant. Take for instance a pic of a Tree Surgeon cutting down a tree - what category does that fall under?!

Allan Bell Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I really don't understand why there's no category "Nature". There's more in nature than plants and animals. And how about "Environment"? Cheers, Philippe How about "Miscellaneous"? Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
