I'm giving SmugMug a go on their 14 day trial:
http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/galler...34835982_YSfoY Comments on the images appreciated, critical comments will be hotly contested, and fawning praise will be treasured. If you can't say something nice, lie. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

If you can't say something nice, lie. The Gallery works fine, pictures load fast and nice adjustment features. Detail on the pics is great, composition not too great, mostly clutter type on the few I looked at. |

Detail on the pics is great, composition not too great, mostly clutter type on the few I looked at. What was photographed *is* clutter. Victorian Antiques is a company that retrieves parts and pieces from old houses and buildings that are being razed and sells the items. It's a boneyard of yesterday's house parts. No attempt was made on my part to arrange the items in any image. The only composing was framing the shot, or cropping the shot, to exclude the nearby clutter; almost impossible in that setting. I had to rely on the camera's built-in flash since I didn't bring any lights or reflectors with me on that day. I will consider your comment to be fawning praise. It wasn't, but it makes me feel better to do so. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

Their galleries look nice, they're easy to navigate, their service is good (and if you contact them with a problem they are always RIGHT on it), and the pro sales feature is great too. The only thing I'd like is the ability to come up with shorter URLs. So instead of http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/galler...34836045_QVwYs, it might be http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/gallery/Antiques#Bedpost or something similar. |

If you can't say something nice, lie. The only constructive criticism I'll offer is that many of them are too obviously done with on-camera flash. Was that the D40's popup flash? A shoe-mounted unit in bounce mode with a diffuser on it can work wonders in those situations. I think you'll like SmugMug. I'm very happy with it. |

Anyone got a gun to put her out of everyone's misery? Anyone? At least you didn't post your lame list of p&s tripe in your generous comments about his pictures, "Tak." Don't let the above deter you, Tony. Those pictures may not be perfect, but they do show some evidence of thoughtful composition and artistic expression. It's a boneyard of yesterday's house parts.

Victorian Antiques is a company that retrieves parts and pieces from old houses and buildings that are being razed and sells the items. Nothing more enthralling than some lame snapshooter trying to explain why someone should appreciate their snapshots of crap. I will accept your comments as fawning praise. Since I don't expect Helen to comment on my photos, yours will be considered as pick of the litter. Home movies of Aunt Margaret's vacation to New York, anyone? Anyone got a gun to put her out of everyone's misery? Anyone? Actually, the home movies of Aunt Margaret's vacation in New York are quite good. Aunt Margaret retired after 42 years as a librarian and found that her pension fund was insolvent and didn't qualify for a government bail-out. She went to New York and obtained temporary employment with a call girl network as a dominatrix specializing in bullying people to pay overdue fines. She got some very spicy footage of a number of politicians - including one Governor and two State Representatives - groveling and screaming "Fine me more! Fine me now!". She wore out six #2 Ticonderoga pencils with that little rubber date stamp attached to the eraser end using them as a whip. She made enough money on her vacation to buy a pair of thigh-high leather boots that nicely cover her varicose veins, and to buy a year's supply of Kibbles and Bits for her cat HarperLee. (The cat was so-named because of its propensity to kill birds. But I don't expect you to catch that reference.) Know anything about photography? Ever taken a photograph? It's a boneyard of yesterday's house parts. No attempt was made on my part to arrange the items in any image. The only composing was framing the shot, or cropping the shot, to exclude the nearby clutter; almost impossible in that setting. I had to rely on the camera's built-in flash since I didn't bring any lights or reflectors with me on that day. I will consider your comment to be fawning praise.

I've been with smugmug for years. Their galleries look nice, they're easy to navigate, their service is good (and if you contact them with a problem they are always RIGHT on it), and the pro sales feature is great too.

I can link to my home page, but I made the mistake of adding my picture to the profile part. Until I take that down, I'll use the gallery link. I may replace it with this one: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...09-20-0040.jpg -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |
