Hi

 

This question must have been asked a 1 000 times, but I do not seem to be able

to find the right answer. Does 'most viewed' photos mean:

 

(a) Viewers who have looked at the thumbnails and also speeded past

(i.e. 'viewed') your photo for a nano second, or

 

(b) Viewers who have taken the trouble to CLICK and view your specific photo,

or

 

© both a & b?, or

 

(d) something else?

 

And I suppose, a second question would be: where does one find an easy

accessable answer to the above? Surfing up and down Google did not help (at

least as far as I could see).

 

Thanks for your time

Is it then not, IT-wise technically, possible to show the number of times people have actually open (clicked) on a specific photo to view the larger full photo? I think this is wat JPZ is asking, i.e. it seems rather logical that someone who has has posted photo A on p.n. would want to know how many people had enough interest in the particular photo to go through the trouble to actually click on it to have a larger view.

Hi All

 

I was getting a bit despondent by all the negative comments on the future of p.n, and perhaps not the least because I cannot seem to get my last name corrected (see the posting above this one). So I thought: 'Well let's check out these other 'better' sites.'

 

But, unless someone posts the URLs, I just do not seem to find any that are not: sleazy, unprofessional, commercial, or down-right silly or even stupid.

 

I have seen, and have been helped myself, by p.n members and other users in a supporting way that one can only appreciate.

 

I can understand the uneasiness of long-standing professional members about new 'kids' on the block (such as myself, especially if you are not really a kid, but an ol' timer) posting 'inferior' photographs. However, where else can you get such good comments and great photo's (from young and old) to learn from?

 

So, I would suggest: Let the senior guys, managment and others who are interested, get the show on the road (i.e. get rid/change things that are not 'right'), and let the good times roll.

Tnx to all of you whom have responded.

 

One not only learns about photo's on p.d, but about stuff such as globalization as well: the panasonic has a 15 month guarantee in south africa vis-a-vis the three months in the US. why would that be?

Darius, you just have to check out most of the general comments on a photographic version of Munch's 'Scream' (especially some of those coming from the 'wow!' people who have obviously never heard of Munch or his painting) to realise just how much you should or should not worry about comments in general. Check out the photo's of the top photographers. Learn from them. You might even want to try and enlist their help, as well. Best wishes with your work.

Thanks, Trevor. I thought so: half a dozen of the one and six of the other.

Hi All

 

As a new (rather old) kid on the block, it is difficult not to see pn going forward with comments such as those from SP, followed by the positive reaction by Darius.

 

Consequently, I am confused about the apparent 'managment problems' discussed earlier in the Feedback Forum. Not so much because I might loose my recently 3 year subs money paid at a very negative exchange rate (as bad as that may be), but because of the void the loss of pn would cause in my life.

Hi Photo.Net Friends

 

I have read the earlier reviews/comments on the above issue with great

interest, and I suppose it is by this time old hat.

 

However, I really wanted to buy the Leica C Lux 1, but at more than twice the

price at some local stores in South Africa, and with questions in my mind re

local service, I had to look at Panasonic DMC-FX01 as well.

 

Still, I could not make up my mind, till my son drew my attention to the fact

that the cases of both cameras were 100% the same - sans the logo's and front

faces. His argument was that if the two cameras were for all practical

purposes identical on the outside, why would one consequently wonder whether

there were any marked differences inside the casing that would have had any

meaningful effect on the functioning of the two cameras?

 

So, purely for financial and possible service reasons, the Panasonic won the

day - and I am extremely satisfied (as much as a total beginner can be

satisfied) with the Panasonic - except that I am still wondering whether the

outside/inside argument was watertight.

 

Would I have been better off with the much revered Leica logo sign on the

outside and some really good non-Panasonic Leica parts in the inside at twice

the price (which would have pushed me into the prosumer/SLR range)?

 

Thanks for your attention.
