The idea for this gallery was canvassed by a poll in our Forum in 2016, and was overwhelming accepted by those who chose to give their opinion.  It was initially set up as a separate gallery; in early 2024 these images were transferred to the Main Library, with the "creative image" keyword attached to them.  Members can now submit their creative images directly to the New Images gallery (from there, they will be transferred to the Main Library after 1 month), assign the "creative image" keyword to them, and use the Comments box to explain how the image was created.

What's a "creative image"?  Well, basically, anything that you want - it may be created in-camera, by tweaking your setting when you capture the image, or by accidentally getting it "wrong" but producing a pleasing result; it can be a close-up section of a conventional image; it can be something created by post-processing one or more images using any technique you care to apply.  Anything goes!  The only real "rules" are, as always, ethical photography, and no nesting birds or nests with eggs and/or chicks.

Go to the All Photos page and use the Search options to search for images with the "creative image" keyword to see what our members have produced.
