Thanks for mentioning delteme un...Guys, good work. Thanks for mentioning delteme uncensored and exposing those cruel admins at the original deleteme for the ruthless dictators that they are. <BR/><BR/>By the way deleteme uncensored is now out with it's own podcast. Hopefully this will give you a little more insight into the group including our loss recently of long time member The Pulitzer Prize Winning Photographer who has recently been kicked off Flickr. <BR/><BR/>http://www.zoomscope.com/dmu/<BR/><BR/>Let's spice the news up a little bit by the way. Here are some things that you might want to consider covering:<BR/><BR/>I covered Prince Charles visit to San Francisco recently as a citizen journalist and was ejected from the tightly securitized event that I was able to infiltrate. Photos of the Prince, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown can be found in a Flickr set here:<BR/><BR/>http://thomashawk.com/2005/11/prince-charles-visits-san-francisco.html<BR/><BR/>Caterina Fake was quoted in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/06/business/yourmoney/06techno.html?ei=5088&en=11aa3a8e097005a7&ex=1288933200&adxnnl=1&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss&pagewanted=print&adxnnlx=1131449079-tOeCVolPXfEALr/tPdJbFw<BR/><BR/>Use Technorati to find out what where traffic to your Flickr page is coming from:<BR/><BR/>http://thomashawk.com/2005/11/sitemeter-for-flickr-well-kinda.html<BR/><BR/>What about Flickr blogs? Did you know that Stewart Butterfield just started blogging again:<BR/><BR/>http://sylloge.com/<BR/><BR/>or that Caterina has a blog?<BR/><BR/>http://www.caterina.net/<BR/><BR/>or that Heather has a blog<BR/><BR/>http://www.hchamp.com/<BR/><BR/>or even George.<BR/><BR/>http://george08.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Speaking of George, did you know that George was recently interviewed:<BR/><BR/>http://flickrbits.com/interviews/george/<BR/><BR/>or how about flickrdate. Find a date on flickr:<BR/><BR/>http://thomashawk.com/2005/10/if-you-like-pina-colada-and-taking.html<BR/><BR/>Or what about the porn problem on Flickr? Recently this topic has been bantering around quite a bit in Flickr central. I posted on it and Stwart says a better way is coming to address the problem:<BR/><BR/>http://thomashawk.com/2005/10/flickr-and-pornography-problem.html<BR/><BR/>And speaking of porn, recently internet girls, girls, girls, gone wild, well on Flickr, maverick Nick Starr who runs FlickrLicio.us, a series of Flickr babe sites, found himself shut down by Flickr. After making site adjustments he was allowed back up. Watch the drama unfold:<BR/><BR/>http://thomashawk.com/2005/10/nick-starrs-flickrlicious-banned-from.html<BR/><BR/>and perhaps the biggest Flickr controversy of all last month revolved around an interchange between Anil Dash and Caterina Fake regarding whether or not people at Flickr should be compensated somehow for their work on Flickr.<BR/><BR/>http://thomashawk.com/2005/10/flickr-caterina-fake-anil-dash-wealth.html<BR/><BR/>Lots of interesting flickr news to cover out there.Thomas Hawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668592668702218229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16819590.post-1131434162569119132005-11-08T01:16:00.000-06:002005-11-08T01:16:00.000-06:00Thanks guys for the mention and link to the Flickr...Thanks guys for the mention and link to the Flickr Book Group.

The Olympus E-300 and the new E-500 for example are priced at sub $1000. $699 for the E-500. They come with shooting modes etc to make it easier to use preset settings for various situations (though of course it's got the full range of regular DSLR controls as well) They're obviously designed to appeal to people who want a higher end P&S but are keen for the performance and flexibility of an SLR. I know it's why I got one :)<BR/><BR/>And another thing, regarding sensor size. Your comment on dynamic range was off base for smaller sensors. The Olympus E series DSLRs uses a half sized sensor (crop factor x2), and whilst the issue of noise is very valid, they have no problems with dynamic range. Many people who choose an Oly DSLR do so for the dynamic range.<BR/><BR/>I admit I'm coming across as an Olympus fanboy, but I hope you'll forgive me for that :)Cyronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08285770349436618577noreply@blogger.com
