well, it does say on the upload thingy itself, that the HQ option takes ~10x as long to upload..... I think that would have *some* kind of meaning..

For me it's half and half. For the street photos, I enjoy the photo taking more than processing. It's all about being in the middle of the action and capturing that one moment that won't ever happen again. For all the other shots I take, I agree the processing is more fun since it gives you a second chance to be even more creative.

edit: yet a third aspect I've found I really like is sharing. Flickr is a great place to see what people are interested in. I could care less if a photo comes out in explore, but looking at stats and doing analysis on search terms, etc is something I've found is very, very neat.

I haven't any problem with high quality, takes about 4 seconds. I am using FIOS though, not sure if that's the difference. What size photo are you uploading? I generally only use 1024X6## for the internet.

Did they ask you for a release? You think you need a release? Hard to figure out who it is from looking.

Yeah they say the photo requires 1 model release. Should I write back and say that I don't know who the dog is? :-p

what about Big Bear? A friend of mine lives in San Diego, and he has recently taken pics of a snow covered mountain from his front yard.



I picked up some of my pictures that I had printed tonight. First time Ive seen any of my work on anything other than an 8x10 that came out like crap....pretty about how they came out.

perhaps somewhere by Mountain High? It's a easier drive than Big Bear

I bet the seller just relist everything every time something doesn't sell, and it's been going on on this item for years?

Thinking about renting the 24-70 f/2.8 or 70-200 f/2.8 for my time in Paris. Just not sure which one, if I indeed do.


I have the 18-200VR (Version I). Great overall lens. 70-200 would give me more reach do to the crop factor and allow me to do some things that I haven't before.

The 24-70 would be more versatile and I'd probably use it more than the 70-200.

I don't know.

I think I'm just getting an itch to try something different out. Not that I necessarily need to.

Lol.
Bad timing on posts.
I wasn't planning on selling it before my trip. It is a consideration for later though. Looking at different things.

I was planning on bringing it.
I was considering renting something else to bring as well to play around with.

what do you guys suggest for picture framing. Both inexpensive for gifts, and decent ones for myself?
