Closest you can get, that I know of, is in My Profile. Click on your picture & My Profile. Upper left. below picture.

Thanks.

<p>Kyle thanks. The hits there are only for that page. I am looking to find out the total number of hits on my galleries and pictures. PBase for example, keeps track of this statistic. I can find out the total of hits on each picture, but not the total of all hits.</p>

<p>Bob thanks. I could not find total hits. there is information on critiques and comments but not hits.</p>

I have posted a user review of the Nikon 18-200 VR & Canon 500D close-up lens and a user

review of the Nikon D50 for those who are interested. Here are the links.

Brian, thanks for the offer. I just tried to upload it again and it worked fine. So I guess I have

no 'problem'! Thank you and all who responded.

I just tried it with a "Save As" file and it did not work. Here is the message I got.

"We had a problem processing your entry:

Unable to convert your image file

Please back up using your browser, correct it, and resubmit your entry.

Thank you."

Thanks I will try sRGB. I have found that gRGB (generic RGB) works best with "Save As" on

more browsers. The other problem I have is that i prefer to save with "Save AS" to preserve

the Exif information. If I am required to post at photo.net using "Save for Web" then I have to

create two files. I don't understand why, as other sites have no problems with "Save As" files.

My main set of images is at FotoTime and there is no problem with "Save As" files.

Is any thought being given to modifying the system to accept "Save As" files with meta data

from Photoshop? I am currently participating at "My Four Thirds" and trying "PhotoSig" and

neither of those sites have technical difficulties with accepting "Save As" files. I rejoined

PhotoNet recently and have found that my "Save for Web" files lack the quality of of my "Save

As" files which makes me reluctant to post on this site.

Just want to point out that the Canon EF-S 18-55 lens does not have IS and is not a good

quality lens.

Thanks Jef. It worked. I was able to it with a photo I have at another site where the URL

ends in JPG. Is there a way to do it with pictures I have here? Thanks.

Thanks Jayme. I tried that, but it uploads a link to the picture rather than displaying the

picture itself.

I know how to include a link to a picture with a critique, but have not been able to figure

out how to have a picture automatically display, even with the help of the Q&As. Help!

I bought "The Tao of Photography" "SEEING BEYOND SEEING" by Philippe L. Gross and S.I.

Shapiro. (Note:Not the book with the same title by Tom Ang)

This is a wonderful book. They use Taoist philosophy to segue into photography. The

book has many black & white photographs by famous photographers including, among

others, Eliot Porter, Ansel Adams, Alfred Stieglitz, Garry Winogrand, Imogen Cunningham,

Henri Cartier-Bresson, Carlos Juardo. The pictures alone are well worth the price of the

book, $24.95.

I really enjoyed reading it, as well as studying the photographs. I think it will help me to

be more creative in my picture taking. As well as the discussion of the application of

Taoist philosophy to photography, it includes many quotes from these photographers on

their approach to photography. I highly recommend this book.

I occasionally remove a picture. However, I would not remove on I thought was good just

because its rating did not meet my expectations. Generally, I think the average of the

ratings (eliminating the occasional 1 or 2) is fairly accurate.

If I leave an exhibit unmoved no explanation is necessary. However, if I tell an artist his or

her work is Bad or Very Bad I would explain myself.

I agree that maybe you should not force people to comment, although I think

consideration might be given to requiring an explanation for ratings of 2 or less. It seems

to me that if you rate a picture as Bad or Very Bad that it would be common courtesy to

explain to the person why you have done so. After all, the person who posted the picture

liked it and felt it was worth posting and, I for one, would like to know what it was about a

picture I posted that cause person to feel it was bad.

I would not choose between the D70 and 300D on the basis of differences in picture

quality or features. I would look at the total system available for each camera and my

needs and at what I expect in the future from each manufacturer based on their record in

digital cameras. From my perspective, Canon is usually ahead of Nikon in digital. For the

moment, though the D70 is excellent competition for the 300D and is ahead in features.

However, once you own a DSLR you will probably make a big investment in lenses and

accessories and you will be with that system and its bodies (plus Fuji and Kodak with

Nikon and Kodak with Canon) for many years to come.

I have a 10D and just bought an A2. The reason for buying the A2 is its light weight, built

in AS, fast 28-200 mm (35mm equivalent lens) and great depth of field (I can't create DOF

in

PS, but I can reduce it). I want one package to take with me on walks that has the focal

range I need. So far, I am very pleased with it, but have not taken any pictures above ISO

64.

Photo.net in its Terms and Conditions of Use reserves the right to use photos submitted to

this site for the purpose of distributing and promoting the site. As I understand it if you

take a street shot of people in a public place you do not normally need their consent (if it

does not invade their privacy or hold them up to ridicule, etc.) to display the picture.

However, if the picture is used commercially then you need releases. Does the fact that

Photo.net can use your photo to promote this site mean you need consent forms from all

the people in your pictures? Does it make a difference if the subject of the picture are the

people?
