The population of the town does not count, what counts is the size of the lens. The lens I used today was my Sigma 18-50/2,8 so this is street photo. I know, it is supposed to be done the hard way, with a real lens, a prime, preferably in B&W. ;-) I'll probably upload my attempts in street photo later today or tomorrow.

Tim, I've been where you are for a long time. Eventually I took the dive and although I don't consider myself to be any good at it, but I don't hesitate to try. Also, thanks to quite a few folks here, I've received some quite invaluable advice. So, come on, show us your stuff! > Anyway, I did it! And now I want to share it with you fellas.

Tim, if you want just to upload the files so that you can post the links here I can recommend either www.flickr.com (but some folks seem to despise it), or alternatively, you can use anything like www.geocities.com in order to build your own web pages. Though geocities have rather ugly interface if you stick to free subscription. I cannot recommend you any free of charge site where you can upload your stuff freely and get reasonable comments. There're two sites which I use. One is bi-lingual (English/Russian). The other is pure Russian. The former allows for 3 images to be uploaded every 7 days, which I think is reasonable. So you may want to point your browser to www.photoforum.ru and see if you like the rules. Feel free to approach me off-list if you have questions... Boris
