Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Of course it is going wrong! Siggie - I've just noticed that the photographs are between 3mb and 6mb in size. No browser can cope with almost 40 images that size.

      I'll export smaller sized ones. I forgot how large I had done the last set and just used what I had. Meh.




      EDIT - Okay, I uploaded smaller/lower quality images in their place. Should be a lot quicker to load now.

            Yes, I exported with a max long edge set this time and that helped keep the sizes manageable.

                It's mostly the eye and not the camera that makes good photos. The camera doesn't matter that much.
                Well it does in some ways, but it's often more about the preference of the photographer and nothing a non-pro would really spot in images this size anyway.

                I shoot a Nikon D7000, but I am, well I was looking to trade up to full frame Nikon 800E soon, but now I'm thinking it's not that much of an improvement other than unlocking full use of FX lenses to me and getting rid of that damn magnification. I'm drooling over the Leica m9 now and thinking I might keep the D7000 and get the m9 rather than the 800E. That'll take me some time to scrape together the dough for it though because I don't want to dip into existing savings for it or the ungodly expensive glass to go with. In the end, I'm realizing the best camera is the one you have with you and the D7000 turns my already heavy purse into a backbreaker, especially with my current favorite lens. So, I'm also leaning away from another dslr for that reason.

                The camera I carry daily is a Fujifilm x10; the D7000 is just too heavy for every day.

                All the ones here (except the closer of Mother Armenia which was longer) and nearly all of the ones I'll be adding later were shot with the same camera and lens. I couldn't get the Nikon 16-35 fx because no one had it in stock, so I opted for a non-Nikon dx. It worked out well that way though. It's a nice lens and I couldn't benefit from fx if I don't get the D800E anyway.


                Anyways, for like 95% of the images I'll be posting the following applies:
                Camera: Nikon D7000
                Lens: Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 DX
                Format: RAW
                Processed in Lightroom 3 and/or 4.
