Photo.net Changes the Rules and a Question

Again, Photo.net pisses me off. Under the old rules, a non-member (in other words, someone who doesn't want to pay an annual fee, like me), one could post up to 99 photos in their gallery. If one went over that amount, the post would still go through, but any of your photos could be arbitrarily

Hi Paul, Your email hasn't shown up in my mail, but I saw it in the archives. That's where I read much of the mail from the list. Based on what I read here, numerous messages never appear on the list as I receive it. No, I don't care for the bra at all, and there are a number of things I don't

I like PhotoNet as well. I find it well worth the $25. I pay $350 a year for portfolios.com, and it's not much better. If you direct potential clients to your Photos page, it can pass as a portfolio. And, as with any web page, you can assign your own url. And I was just thinking how uch I

How much is an inch again? :-) Half a year ago, I asked the same Q. in metric units, and questioned whether a 6Mpx file was sufficient for more than A4 output (A4= 297mm x 210mm). Cotty and Paul Stenquist responded by sending me A3 (420mm x 297mm) prints of a selected photo, and I must say I was

Bruce, Nice shot. Might I suggest a crop? If you crop in from the left and leave only a portion of the dark corner then you have a nice sense of direction (upward/forward). As it is, it seems just a little off-balance. Sincerely, C. Brendemuehl 'Politics is

On page 179, with the custom setting for using aperture ring set to permitted and the camera in manual mode, it states that when depth of field is checked (Preview), AE metering is switched on. Is this not what happens when the green button on the *ist-D is depressed? - Original Message
