Dark Room *don't bump into things*

After seeing it on the nocturno-box the other night I thought this was one of the most beautiful things I have seen man construct. It's a solar tower outside of Seville.

Here you go, found this rather odd one for you

 

[david_carnell]

Ooh, thanks. Lovely. I think it looks amazing. Almost god-like. Or some modern day, Egyptian temple to Ra.

What!!! Better than the Sistine Chapel? The Taj Mahal perhaps? I could go on. The only thing that makes that look any good is the reflection of the sunlight coming off of it. Jeez!

[mockney piers]

I dunno, have you been to the Sistine Chapel. I mean technically yes it's good, but seriously, could you actually live with that...eek.

If the pope had only had Linda Barker round with a pot of Magnolia paint and some nice net curtains he's have probably lounged about in that hall drinking the blood of the children he murdered a bit more often.

Maybe some flock wallpaper and one of those standing lamps with the tasselled shades like your nan used to have.

And three flying ducks on the wallpaper.

Acid house was blowing up as 6th form started, was never stupid enough to try E, but here are 99 tabs of it:

Walled city, Kowloon, echoes of Shenmue 2 anyone?

By the way, LX3 or G10? (for SLR's I'll stick to film, thanks)

Despite being a long term fan of Canon (and Minolta, natch), I'm all too aware that since they started outsourcing production abroad, the quality has declined, but this is a bit much...

Also, some test shots of the 5D MK2 in Akiba, with a couple of stalker shots thrown in for good measure...

I still can't believe the street price for this camera, from what I've read about what's inside, 2.5k certainly isn't justifiable, just seems like "full frame tax", Canon taking a leaf out of Apples pricing book?

So, there's this dude that posts on /p/ and his stuff is often hilarious.

Definitely worth ch ch checking out....

So, I have just over 1,000 photos to sort through from my vacation (to start with!). I've got some that I'd like to post online. What do you guys recommend? Flickr? Panaramio? Mainly I just want to be able to share photos with select people, or the world at large & retain the copyright.

Thanks for any suggestions.

[Ant]

Flickr's pretty good - easy to use and free. Haven't tried panaramio so can't comment.

[mockney piers]

I'm a flickrite too and it's good at what it does. Haven't really checked out the rivals, maybe I should to see if I'm still getting value for money.

[OutOfFocus]

Flickr is free up to a certain point - limits on the number of pictures you can view.

It is good provided either

- you want to share them publicly

- the people you want to share with are also Flickr users (in my experience they aren't!)

You can create guest passes to collections and send the URL to non Flickr people but it is messy

You need a steady hand to shoot these

I don't know about you Piersy, but having looked at those pics of the Canary Islands on your link in the other other thread, I've gone totally off heavily photoshopped wankoramas.

[mockney piers]

ha ha, true enough.

I ordered by interesting, and unfortunately interesting in flickr world involves eith heavy HDR, cats and babies, or heavily HDRed cats and babies!!

[Ant]

And sunsets. Eyeburning HDR sunsets.
