They recently changed the terms across the site, so now there are few advantages to paying. When my subscription period runs out I will have to decide whether to go to a free account or not. The big disadvantage to the new free accounts is they are littered with ads.<br /><br />Flickr has been a community for a lot of serious photographers, so I have found it very helpful from a personal growth perspective. I've met a lot of great photographers on there, and I have learned quite a bit through interactions and studying the work of others. Whether Flickr will continue to be that kind of place remains to be seen. Recent Flickr changes are geared toward the instagram 20 years olds who don't care one flip about what they are doing. So many serious photographers are walking away from it now. I may end up going to another online photo sharing site too, but not at the present time with all the turmoil in my life.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-74077107654409695482013-07-15T10:24:07.353-04:002013-07-15T10:24:07.353-04:00That 4 weeks went by quickly!

I have my post loaded up...Thanks for the reminder. I have my post loaded up and scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. We're going to have a very busy week, so I'm trying to work ahead.<br /><br />A couple of years ago, I started a Flickr account, put my finer photographs there, and do a web link in my posts. For snapshots and headers, etc., I upload using Picasa. I have less than 1% on Picasa, so I will safely outlive the capacity there, LOL.<br /><br />There isn't a need to save your files out at 300 dpi resolution. That is print quality. For screen quality, the industry standard is 72 dpi. However, there are some large monitors (like my 27" Mac) that can go up to 110 dpi. So I save my files at that screen resolution. I purposely don't save at 300 dpi because people can then download my photos and get nice, clear prints, thereby stealing my creative work. There isn't anything wrong with saving them as jpegs either. It's resaving jpegs that creates artifacts within the pixels. So I purposely save them as jpegs so that people who click and save my files (shame on them) get a worse image than the original jpeg. Tiff file extensions are also a good alternative to png, by the way. There is a whole art and science to saving image files!<br /><br />For the past couple of years, I have saved the vast majority of my images at 1024 pixels along one of the edges. That is a standard size over on Flickr. It is large enough for a viewer to see the important details, but small enough that it is generally unusable by a photo pirate that steals the image for commercial uses.<br /><br />Enough of all of that! I love your barn and flower photos!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-62021852092646085852013-07-15T09:48:30.971-04:002013-07-15T09:48:30.971-04:00Beautiful barns!

Wouldn't you love to see inside?<br /><br />Flowers are so lovely ~ not enough time here to enjoy them long. <br /><br />How do you keep your bee balm from taking over? I've read that it can be planted in a tub which is dug into the ground and has a few drainage holes drilled in the bottom. I've not tried it because I think they also germinate from seed. Love the bee balm blooms, though.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397087180636686873noreply@blogger.com
