The forum has been growing steadily and we've surpassed a few milestones!

Shutter Asia is definately the fastest growing photo forum in Malaysia.

We've reached over 3,600 members, 7,000 threads and 60,000 posts thanks to you all!

Keep up the good work, keep posting pics and keep sharing your thoughts.

Shutter Asia now also has a full membership scheme with benefits from our vendors and discounts during events associated with the forum.

You can find out more about the membership here:

We are also currently working on creating t-shirts for forum members, look out for updates in January.

Forum Updates

We've also re-ordered the forum a little to make it easier to use. The Challenges section is now visible from the main forum.

We have also added an Event Photography section after multiple requests, it keeps the Portrait section a lot less cluttered and makes it easier for you to post.

We also added a NON Camera buy and sell section for people wanting to sell anything else (phones, gadgets etc).

Photography!

Remember when you post your pictures in the forum to give comments on other people's pictures, it's give and take!

If everyone just posts and expects others to comment, there will be no one to comment!

So when you post, do have a look at some of the other wonderful pictures and give your thoughts.

It's greatly appreciated.

Outings

Shutter Asia team is working on a few exciting things for the community at the moment, we hope to let you know about them soon.

We've had more successful outings and photo trips and will be organising more soon so keep an eye out on the events section:

Of course we ban people too :)

Main reason is spammers..

After that we want to maintain good relations, good atmosphere and a tidy forum, so if people don't heed the warnings we give we will ban them.

Mostly for bad attitudes or not adhering to our clearly stated rules (http://www.shutterasia.com/forum/rules.php).
