Hi All !
This is a question purely for my own interest. I've been taking photos for most of my life, starting with grandad's Box Brownie when I was 9 (never had a film in it!) and then I had a Kodak Instamatic for my 11th birthday.
I've been a member here for some time and would like to thank you all for the instructive information, the tutorials and the (sometimes!) interesting discussions. I read a lot here; I don't post pics because I'm not up to the high standard that I see in the different categories.
I'm a member of another online forum where I participate more. There are more 'amateurs' there.
Both in this forum and the other one, there are only a handful of women members. I'm a member of a great local photography group; we meet twice a month. This all stopped during the lockdowns but we continued via Zoom. We are 30 members, 6 of whom are women.
I have my own ideas but would anyone like to comment as to why women don't tend to get involved so much in photography forums and groups?
Thank you for any responses and thanks again for this forum in general !
