I've finally joined you all in 2006, and set up discovered I already had courtesy of yahoo a flickr account. Photos of the livejournal picnic are: http://www.flickr.com/photos/49571367@N00/sets/72057594137137063/ (I think.)

The phising scam was thiiiiiiiiis big:


I don't have a particularly exciting camera, and haven't experimented very much with it (and have resized the images down) so they're not amazing, but they all seem fairly clear, and a few look to me like quite flattering views of people.

There are 75 photos, but were several duplicates when someone kept accidently ducking, or had a twirly skirt, or moved around too much for me to work out if I'd photographed them yet or not. I may have a fiddle and see if I can produce any interesting effects like black and white, but not yet.

I haven't described them because I don't remember exactly who minds their face and name being associated in public. People with yahoo accounts can comment on photos of them to tell everyone else who they are.

Haylp: This seems to fulfill the basic requirement of "put the photos online with automatic thumbnails and tagging". But any suggestions for easier or better ways, or on how you normally display flickr galleries will be gladly received.

Ooh, you're using my photo. It works rather well as a userpic, doesn't it?

I just use http://pics.livejournal.com/ these days, but then with a permanent account I get lots of space there. It doesn't let other people comment though.

Unfortunately, I'm now becoming famous as jack-who-doesn't-use-lj-polls; getting a paid (or ad) account to store pics seems selling out :)

Some of them (example) look like your camera has got confused by the large amount of bright sky, and left the real subject of the photo rather dim. Assuming the effect is not deliberate, the manual recommends an exposure compensation of +0.9 to cope with this, though setting the exposure with less sky in frame and recomposing should work too and might be less hassle than fiddling with the exposure compensation.

Thank you, that makes sense.

BTW, I do know nearly literally nothing about cameras, and haven't got round to reading about the functions available, but when out to experiment anyway. Advice is very unlikely to be too basic, so if you have the urge to comment on pictures in any way, or bully me into looking at a dummy's guide, feel free :)

Well, it was only really me. And I did ask first (mostly)>

Cameras don't like me. So I don't like them.
