As I have stated in other section of the Forum, "common" involves 2 variable factors: time and place.

Air Srilanka to me in Vancouver would not be a common subject. However, if I were in Colombo, Sri Lanka, it would be a common subject.

If I were in 1970, a Pan Am Boeing 707 would be a common subject. However, if I have the same photo today it would not be considered a common subject.

Based on the above, I personally have problem determining what is "common". Every subject to me is NOT common. Photography is an art. Weather condition does not affect a good photo.

May be the web master can give a more specific and precise definition of "common subject".

Thanks.
