So being angry means being "hateful"? Mr Photonet, There is plenty of good reasons to be angry, so please don't separate the angry comments from "bugs", as this overall mess is in itself a major bug.

This site might be messy, but it can also be smart: it has put by itself the category "underwater" on this photo: https://www.photo.net/photo/17859022/try-me-345 By the way, how can we refet to a photo beside with its URL?

Thank you 10000 times, but please REVERT and leave this site as it is, this will make it a fine piece of vintage internet, like an old library, much more friendly than another dpreviews

Mee too, so maybe there is a Strasbourg city in the USA? By the way, I cannot understand how such a basic bug can survive in a final relase, as well as others that I have mentioned in other posts, left without answers. People in charge of this site may be very nice, but I am not happy at all, namely for having lost my database of tech details

..of my 100+ uploaded photos. Also the fields for entering new ones are inoperant, exept the location field..

Sorry if this topic has already been addressed in the previous ~580 posts, too much to scan all of them Apparently, individual photos in my galleries have lost their information (detailed location, detailed hardware parts). Why? And I dont see any field where to reenter them.

<p>Interesting, your recipe could be very useful for a photo-journalist of the film era. There was one on this forum last year who told us a great stoy about miss world contests, and how he processed films in his hotel room in a few minutes, before sending them by phone (they already had scanners..) to his journal</p>

<p>I have read on this forum that a high temperature (27°C) with Tmax400 / Xtol (and presumably other films) gives a lot of grain compared to say 21°C. Anybody can confirm that?<br> By the way, Ian, how do you make sure that the temperature remains at 27°C during "vigorous continuous agitation"?</p>

<p>What could be a better TIFF format ? At least for the pixels information, not for the comments, data, etc..where one could add things <em>ad libitum. </em>Could an improved TIFF give better and detectable results to a human brain?</p>

<p>"what constitutes a landscape today, as <em>opposed to</em> your predecessors"<br> Why "opposed to your predecessors"? Why not just better, or as good, or without any intention of competition?<br> Also, if being different is the criterion of a "good photo", then anything can be qualified of being a good photo (same consequence with any form of art)</p>

<p>"they won't replace the Ansel Adams in my house"<br> idem at my home<br> </p><div></div>

<p>Michael Kenna? Not my favorite, still Adams</p>

<p>An embarassing example...<br />http://www.photo.net/photo/18310891<br />I was walking around my home at dusk in july, with my camera and a tripod, when I saw this coincidence. I found it a bit funny (that was 16 years ago..) and I made the photo. I don't remember which setting I chose. The church is buried in the dark, but there are still details. In post-processing, I did not made fancy masking, just playing with the histogram. There is a strange halo around the moon, probably due to my old AIS zoom (35-200/3.5-4.5) front lens.</p>

<p>With a small camera like the FM2, you might consider the Voigtlander 40mm/2.0 SL II Ultron. Small, and close to both a 50mm and a 35 mm. And to me excellent.</p>

<p>" I have recently purchased a Nikon F3. I've been looking to buy one for years"<br> excellent choice..</p>

<p>"Mountains and rivers from quiet roads in the area between central and southern France": Haute Ubaye (http://www.photo.net/photo/18284462), Haute Tinée (http://www.photo.net/photo/18080369), Queyras (http://www.photo.net/photo/17450642&size=lg); very much underdeveloped by French standards<br> "Arrondissements 1 to 6, Paris": Luxembourg garden (http://www.photo.net/photo/17820456). Good for street photography, plenty of parisian aborigenes, and a lot of american students.</p>

<p>Jon, fine example of a beautiful and simple landscape, built with just two main lines. However to me this kind of minimalist composition works better in B&W:</p><div></div>

<p>This is also a great place for cliff climbing, with a lot of paths equipped with cables ("via ferrata"), if contrary to me you are bold enough for this kind of experience.</p>

<p>So at this point there is a large majority in favor of electric poles. And I bet that they could fit somehow in at least one of Fred's examples.</p>

<p>Sanford, what is wrong with electric poles? they are the trees of our time (most of them are even made of wood). They are all differents, some of them are true work of art (like in the US...). And only a great photographer can make great photos of those things, contrary to sunsets, flowers & smiling babies. </p>
