vietnam photo

I like the glossy photo paper from Costco. Very cheap and work fine for me.

Ethan, I am faced with similar question. I have XR version and am contemplating to upgrade to either XR PRO or Gretag Version 2.0. Is XR PRO worth 2x the price of Gretag which can set the luminance (and LUT, I assume)?

 

BTW, EZColor works fine for my set up which is Canon I960 and the scanner is HP G85. I scanned with Hamrick's scanning software. Thanks.

I paid $850.00 for an used Dell 530 workstation. Dual Xeon 2.2 GHz, 1 GByte ECC memory, and two 80 GB Ultra-100. This workstation costs $5K 4 years ago. Editing photos with PS CS on a dual fast CPU is a breeze because PS CS can take advantage of dual CPUs.

Bas, you need to take your eyes off the view finder. The purpose of my portfolio to let people know about my birth country and visit and take photos. It is not self-grandiose because I will be the first to admit that my skills is miniscule in comparison with the masters on photo.net. OK?

 

BTW, I have a Google e-mail account and it really exploits my e-mail content to place ad. But I do not blink my eye because the account is free and I signed the dotted line to accept such condition in exchange for a free e-mail account.

 

Actually I would not mind if Google does not target the keywords in my photo titles or photo descriptions to place ads. Having known that my works are targeted by a machine, I feel invaded and captive. Do I now have to think about Google when entering the titles and descriptions, just like having to bastardize my e-mail address to work around the spammers?

 

So, what is wrong about wanting to contribute *and* asking for no ads? Or should I make no contribution and accept the ads? I would love to hear from the management of photo.net on this question.

Mark, let me try other words. Venice, Rome, Italy. Google might be smart and skip words that are not of interest to photographers, like Viagra.

John, is this thread about english.for.non-english-born.photographer?

 

How ironic that you choose (or "chose"?:-)) to voice your opinion which has nothing to do with these buckets: (1) Should paying members have some tangible benefit, (2) Photography?

 

Obviously, bucket (1) does not fit you. I cannot tell about bucket (2) because your porfolio is empty.

Hmmm, how ironic. The thread I started now hosts a zillion Google ads for cheap Vietnam hotels. Oh well, I guess you get my point.

I recently uploaded a small number of photos that I took in Vietnam,

my birth country. I used the keyword "Vietnam" in my photos because

I want photo.net members to be aware of this beautiful place :-).

But Google ads show up on my photo pages, shameless plugging for

cheap hotels in Vietnam. Now that cheapens my photos :-).

 

Does photo.net have a policy that enables paid members to block ads

on their pages? If not, it seems like it is a good service to offer

to those who enjoy the site enough to be willing to pay for it.

Thanks.
