Ninj, you have a way of putting things into perspective...

| | | | One thing that seems to be being overlooked, is that the type of picture should be appropriate for the words that accompany them. Max's pictures are a perfect example. The accounts of his explorations are detailed and personal (I love reading them!), so they "buddy" style of photography he uses goes along best with his writings. By contrast, some people will take artistic pictures with very little description, letting the pictures tell the story. My pictures would not look good in a Max Action tale, but they stand well on their own. Similarly, Max's pictures look best when you know the background story, as they put you in the middle of the action.

| | | | In Danger Force we often take pictures of each other as we explore. It's not for us to be cool. I never actually intended that.
Rather I like the idea of allowing the reader to follow us through our experience as though they were there. And when i really think about it, it's also for us to be able to look at them 50 years from now and remember ourselves and each other as we once were. Even though people online get to look at us as we explore, the pictures are really for us.
Heh If I really wanted to be "Cool" I would update the damn website once and a while.
Ok that statement was wide open to heckling.

| | | | It can help with showing the scale of something too, sort of like when cops put a ruler in the picture of a footprint, etc...

The use of a person for scale, especially when artfully done, can make a far better picture than without it.
For example, without the people in the distance, this picture would look exactly the same as a much smaller diameter pipe.

| | | | I agree with most of the preceding stuff. Putting an explorer in your picture add scale and context. But I also agree with the earlier poster. I am quite sick of the standard UE picture of the back of my friends head while he walks through a straight bit of tunnel. It's even better when the head is overexposed by an on camera flash and the tunnel walls are too dark to see any detail. Sometimes I think some explorers cope with the excitement of exploring a new building by snapping frequent photos in an appparently random fashion, with little to no forethought. But I guess whatever makes you happy.

| | | | I'd have to say it can be either good or bad, depending on how they're done, as you said above.

| | | | That's funny, my photographer friends always bitch at me for NOT including people in tunnel photos, "you need to show the human element" or something...
Turn off the internet and go play outside.

It all comes down to the type of photography you are best at.
