There has been a recent increase in the number of photo blogs posted in the RF and compact section. No doubt a function of the increase in the level of interest in RF cameras and lenses.
It is good that ppl move beyond just comparing gear and start celebrating how we view the world through RF. While you are eager to share your RF photos of the world, others are also interested to see how RF can capture the world around us. The inagural RFSG photo book was a start, and there is always the "Share Some RF Shots" sticky, but these photo blogs can help bring this apprecaition to the next level.

However, let me lay down some guidelines to these photo blogs in the "RF and Compact" section.
1) Celebrate RF - Why do you use RF? - tell us!! 35mm/MF/LF, film/digital, fixed/interchangeable lens, wide/normal/tele, pano/135/120, there is almost no end to the number of combinations you could use... so what do you have in your camera bag?
2) Share - There is a story behind every photo, and an even bigger story behind every series - travel, weddings, wayang, streets... doesn't matter.
3) Inspire - Most importantly, share your inspiration, and in so doing, inspire others.
Naturally, all photos in the blog should be captured using RF gear. I don't think that the above is too unreasonable, nor the benchmarks too unattainable. You need not be an "Artist" or "Master" to do this, but blogging does require some though and effort to put together - stringing together some story, weaving a theme, research a little. I do reserve the right to move any threads which does not "Celebrate RF" sufficiently to an appropriate Photo Gallery or merge them into the "Share Some RF Photos" thread.
Lastly, as this is the "RF and Compact" section, and not just RF, replace all "RF" with "Compact"... and the same applies.
This thread will be stickied and will link previously RF photo blogs here.
