Turkey trip postponed

Sun Jul 31, 2005, 10:14 AM
Silly me. Very silly me...

I found out today that three of every four Turkey slides were scanned at a much lower resolution (about 1000px at the longest edge rather than the intended 6000px) than planned. I looked at the first fiew shots and realised thw quality of these simply isn't good enough to upload, so I'll have to rescan them at a better resolution. I hope to be able to do so this week.

Today it rained again, it rained when I woke up, it rained when I arrived in Amsterdam four hours later. It still rained when I left Amsterdam an hour ago. I did waltz through the city, passing the Dam square and had fun shooting wet tourists.  I'll probably be uploading the better ones of these the coming days.

On a different note: ~flumpie is back from his holidays with a wonderful bunch of street photography shots. If you haven't seen them...pay him a visit. You won't be disappointed.

So I went to the site you gave a link for (flumpie)- but he appears to have lost/hidden his gallery on aid of some political agenda related to something about DA???
I'll be waiting to see those wet tourists :giggle:

I'm not quite sure what's going on. As far as I can tell one of the original founders was forced? to resign?
It's...weird. :O_o:

I looks to me like a case of rabble rousing. ssilence even has a poll going, asking who will leave DA, or stay part of the community, all because of some fellow leaving/booted, whom an infinitisimal number of us know personally & a disagreement none of us were present for. I may be jaded but that strikes me as being gullible & childish. Its far too easy to disseminate misleading, or false & outright manipulative, info on the net. :frustrated:

BTW...your Turkey pics may not be the pixel quality you'd like but why not post them anyway? SUbject, composition, & lighting are the truly important factors, particularly if you're not putting them up for sale. Personally, I'd like to see them if only as a travelogue :D

I agree, with you. It's very difficult to judge a thing like this. I'm part of the senior staff of a set of game related websites, and we've had similar outbreaks. It's very difficult to know what lies where when you don't know all the ins and outs. I pondered this for a while, and decided I'm going to stay out of it for that same reason.

As for the Turkey images. I need them as the high resolution scans, so I can properly clean them. They are somewhat smudged, dusty, etc. and with the larger scale scans I can more easily clean them. I have a bigger error margin that way. :)
Don't worry. They will be uploaded, but it may be another week to go. :hug:
