stupid me.. i should have joined Smugmug a long time ago... this is great!

einsatz

What's so great about it?
I looked into it a while back but it didn't seem like all that.

srika

a) I love the design and look, its so clean and efficient. b) I joined because I am shooting an event tonight where people will want to do individual prints 4x6 or 5x7 whatever. And so I needed that option, and never had it on any of my other sites before. c) its very easy to upload photos, just drag and drop into the browser.

It's very good if you want to sell prints, if you want social networking as flickr does, it's not so much.

srika

I think if you really want to get serious with photo, you need to have a presence at all the main sites. Flickr, Facebook, Smugmug, Deviantart, etc. each site has its own audience.

here's my first gallery if you wanna take a gander

Mizouse

Are there any photos in it?

srika

man, I can't take you anywhere!!!

Mizouse

I was only half kidding

jupitersolo

left hand or right hand? wait, don't want to know.

jupitersolo

Did you upload again or take from flickr?

srika

uploaded the original files. this is something I do NOT have on flickr, I have those as resized sharpened files. another good thing (I think?). I'm a n00b at this, I may have done this wrong. lol

srika

ok I just corrected something, the default was set so you can view the original files. lol

jupitersolo

File size you're talking about?

srika

no I had it so you could click the pic and choose Original size and it loads the photo at original size.

jupitersolo

same thing

jupitersolo

What's going on with the 5D replacement?

srika

nothing... waiting for 5D3.

btw I had to move your picture to LN&N...

jupitersolo

So you settled up with insurance?

That was a picture from a Nikon camera advertisement.

srika

this is not a NWS thread so I had to move it.

jupitersolo

OK, I can see that, but it was more about the camera ability to focus on 12 faces than what the eye candy was about...

srika

hey, I agree with you.

I just picked up a Tokina 11-16 from someone local, gonna play with it and see how I like it compared to my Sigma 10-20

srika

so I setup my smugmug to use a custom hostname (rasidel.com) - all the instructions show how to set it up with a subdomain... so it would have to be www.rasidel.com or photos.rasidel.com or something like that. I want to be able to tell people just to go to rasidel.com and it'll take them to my page. does anyone know if that's possible with smugmug? thx in advance.

Mizouse

sign up for a redirecting service?

Mizouse

geez you're still awake? isnt it like 4am over there?

srika

3am... I took a 4-hour nap today, afternoon...

Mizouse

i had some green tea earlier, so got some caffeine. going to force myself to sleep. or else im going to be fvcked tomorrow.

srika

its so fun to use the decoy, and see people walking slowly to see whats going on, and then you shoot em. oh oops.. wrong thread

wndrlst

It must be bc my address is www.moxiephotos.com, but if I just type it in without the www it still works. Is that what you're asking?

If you haven't already, check out dgrin.com..lots of good info about customizing and stuff there.

srika

thanks, I think it was domain forwarding. I think I set it right but it hasn't kicked in yet. I will check out that site!

That sux.

So they allow the use for journalism, but not art? Does this mean you need to get a license to use it for journalism?

srika

saw that!!!! thats some crazy $#(*&$(!!!!!!!!

srika

HTML5 uploader = garbage.

I'm using the old Java uploader instead.

wndrlst

I'm really unhappy with it. I keep going back to the old one.

TS_eXpeed

Good thing this is a random thread, cause that's what this is going to be....



Bought a groupon from a company that specializes in murals.

Thoughts on this?

Really wanted an architectural type shot, but didn't want New York. Too unoriginal IMO. I like Chicago.

einsatz

I'd rather give srika $15 and ask for a print of one of his shots

TS_eXpeed

I wouldn't mind....but something tells me you can't print a 4'x15" for that....


The groupon I bought was for that size...$30 I think? Would cost $90 from them otherwise.
