Mike’s idea of a humour photo section initially sounds good – but perhaps not so good after some reflection. Humour is really just too subjective – what is funny to one person may be offensive to another.
As an example the Alpine Club has a humour section but specifically prohibits naked bodies – clearly some people would find them amusing others certainly not – probably depending on the context. It is intersting that this section gets very few entries and the ones I have viewed have not been particularly funny to me although I can see how the situation may have been funny to the person at the time the photo was taken.
Funny situations on tramping trips are generally spontaneous and therefore not often photographed – they can be set-up of course but need to be carefully considered that they will be funny to the majority of people viewing them. It is unlikely there will be many photographers bothered to do this.
I think that almost any outdoor activity related photo can be slotted into the existing categories. Creating another category specifically for humourous photos is probably unnecessary.
