I managed to shoot 150 photos the other night just of friends on the Leidseplein drinking beer (maybe a coupe of which I will post over the weekend) - The one thing I love about the Digital Technology, is that you can afford to experiment, and get a rough idea of your results more or less straight away.
Also any thoughts on the TMO Gallery - I have a nice PHP thing we can use for posting up our images and some space - want me to set something up?
TMO Members and their respective galleries?
with
Top 10 photos?
Photo of the week, month. No, its not like Mc Donalds, employee of the week, this is serious.
Caught in the act, bordering on Priceless??
Perhaps there can be online voting for their favourites, but then we don't want to put everybody off who may want some general encouragement to show off their creative sides. Which I believe everybody has, they just have to find it.
Any more ideas TMO'ers?
Any ideas for a URL - TMOcamerclub.com? themoonimages.com ? I dunno - any ideas?

I have been to Blackheath today.
These pics were on 3 mp so they were massive and so detailed you could zoom in to discover stuff in the background like Rick Deckard on his Esper...but obviously I have had to reduce and crop them to fit. So the quality is less sharp than it should be.
Kovacs... Was this picture taken:
For the titters or the young girl in the background? 
Isn't the bloke in the background of the last picture that ginger bloke from the last big brother? Looks like they are rolling one up too!
She does have a very admirable figure, I think, esp. with no bra.
I find this pic quite interesting in social terms -- are these girls "pikeys", esp. the one in the fawn cardigan with her beret, hoop earring and I presume fake designer bag? Or are they doing a kind of teen-budget SaTC SJP look, which should be commended?
That would be me.
Still a sad sight...
Is normal pikey waer not still branded tracksuits and bright white trainers? Or has pikey fashion taken a step forward?
If you want to go ahead Waynster then by all means but Misc does get all this free and seems to want to push the 'unlimitedness' so it's up to you matey.

The one I use at waynster is free and also allows full user uploads - you can try signing on using the userid 'amnas' and the password 'ihatemanutd' and have a play if you like - make a test gallery called TMO or something and feel free (all of you) to post for test and say what you think

I've installed Sabian's PHP script on my server as far as I can. I'm currently negotiating with my hosting company to get a mySQL database up and running - we're nearly there. Then I guess it will be a case of customising to fit the TMOuncovered L&F and we should be good to go.
I had thought about purchasing a domain name, but I decided not to bother, as it is all linked direct from TMOTalk and is probably of little interest to anyone else (at the moment). Presumably we could add a domain name to point to TMOuncovered in the future if required / desired.
Thanks for your help, guys. I think this could be a goer.

Okay I'll explain - the band were touring here in Holland last week, and as I am good friends with them, some of them crashed at my gaff. Next week I am in London and am crashing at their gaff, so cool.
As for work, been in IT for more years than I would care to remember but I lost my job in January, but plans are afoot for a new venture.

Oh, I see, it was beginning to sound a bit "exotic". I'm still wondering what your girlfriend thought of all this, or was she in bed with the guitarist too?! Now THAT sounds exotic! I remember reading a post of yours about the Proposal subject and you said that you and your girlfriend of 2 years had an "un-orthodox" relationship...does that mean you have an open realtionship? If that's the case then you are living most men's dreams...especially if she WAS in bed with the guitarist...sounds like you live an intersting life! I don't know many girlfriends who would let another woman sleep in their boyfriend's bed. You're lucky to have such an open-minded woman in your life...hold on to that one...she's a rariety!

Could do - my first camera was a Practica MTL 5GB which was also completely manual - still it taught me the basics of Photography.
I saw a girl using a Zenit on the Leidseplein reventley actually now you come to mention it.

The great thing is with the Zenit is its built like a tank and has a certain highly identifiable shutter clunk! I would have no problems in carrying it around the leidseplein, quite simply because if somebody tried to snatch it, you could always use it as a weapon of self defense and still take more pictures for the next 30 years. Sounds like she was a smart girl, or a poor student.
BTW Checked out your gallery, in some of the shots I think the flash has worked well. It captures a different side. Especially later in the evening, shimmering sweat and all that . Don't give up on the flash, I think its more of a case of technique than anything. Practice makes perfect and of course a little theory helps no end. I will see if I can find any Flash Technique books as well.
Nice pics, odd conversation but nice pics.
One day I will take a photo of some worth and show...

Wouldn't it be good if, every year, a randomly chosen recently-deceased normal person's house was, by law, donated to the National Trust. After about 50 years we'd have this weird heritage of time capsules all over the country. Wouldn't you like to pop into a house in your town that had been preserved exactly as it was when its owner died in 1967 or something. I know I would. Just to get some cool interior design ideas, if nothing else.
I'm going to write to my MP. Tomorrow.
For some reason I can't find the USB port on it, so I guess I'm going to have to scan the prints and post them up later. I have to say I'm surprised and impressed though - considering the fact that the camera is fully manual, I've not done a bad job.
The trick is to focus, then push down the clunky shutter button smoothly, leaving it down for the right length of time before releasing smoothly - and not shaking the camera. Not easy for someone who's far too used to point - click - done.
I did enjoy the excitement of opening a fresh packet of photos and finding the odd-format black and white prints within to be of reasonable quality.

My, aren't you critical for a "hippy-chick". Most of the hippy chicks I know are much more accepting, less bitter and not so easily irritated. I could try to be less "wide-eyed and wow" with my writing style and be more grumpy like you

Originally posted by Sidney:
Could someone enlighten me? What was the story with 'turtle'?
Turtle (or Housewife as he/she/it) was originally know as brought an interesting perspective to the boards as first. Think late-thirties/early-forties housewife trying desperately to understand 'the kids'. It was mostly fascinated by our use of irony and sarcasm and seemed to think that it was some kind of destructive shield we all used to protect ourselves from harm while 'doing unto others before they could do unto you'. This was all fine except for the constant anlaysing which pissed everyone off, even the smallest comment would be taken apart in detail by housewife's desire to get under everyone's skin. I can't remember at what point housewife became turtle or what prompted the changeover but things started to go downhill when turtle started posting really vicious shit at night when drunk, always apologising the next day. Ko in particular came in for some really nasty and uncalled for shit near the end as I remember. In a last thread, turtle admitted that she had a drinking problem along with a whole host of other serious 'issues' and that using TMO as part of her self-therapy obviously wasn't working so she would leave. Her relationship with other posters had broken down irrepairably by this tim and few were sorry to see the back of her. During this she also admitted that the houswife persona had begun as a sort of experiment between herself and an anonymous other but she'd decided (for whatever reason) to carry on herself. She may also have posted as Caretta but I'm not sure about that and apologise to Caretta if I'm wrong. Also, the change from housewife to turtle may have been due to her leaving TMO under a cloud then later sneaking back in under the new name but being instantly found out due to her posting style. The invasive analysis of other people lives is why Gail drew the comparison with WND. If any of the above is wrong then I'm sure others will correct me.
So, she was ok by me

They would have to be photos of things that nobody else has in their daily life, as I can't imagine Darryn pays the bandwidth bill for pages of desk and toilet roll pix.
Also, those of us without access to scanners are disadvantaged, nay, actively discriminated against. I have books of inventive, stunning and completely original photos (absolutely NOT pages of drunken Polish parties, blurred Rocky mountains, out of shot portraits and fucked angled landscapes) that the world just needs to see.

I don't know if I can do it or not (haven't played with it much), but if I can, I'll sort out a gallery for everymember that wants one and they can just post a link to view it. Your upload feature could still be used as individual images for those that don't have alot need for a full gallery, but for those that want to upload lots and post links to them, I can provide that until you get your sql sorted...
Just a thought.

Really? That sucks. I just assumed that when your browser requested the image it would request it from the actual host such that only the text and images particular to TMO were counting against Darryn's bandwidth usage. That really bites but at least I now know more than I did before. I assume that the bandwidth usage for serving the pic counts against the actual host as well as counting against Darryn?

Where in the hell did we get this internet thing anyway? Have we still got the receipt? Can't we take it back and exchange it for beer and crisps?

Ah, who cares. The crisps are just a 'nice to have' the important bit is the beer. In fact we can forego the crisps entirely and just get more beer if that'll cause less hassle.

I for one vote for the crisps. I'm not bothered by choice of flavour, so long as Beef, Barbeque and Steak are off the cards. Can we really go wrong with the classic Ready Salted?
And how shall the beer be chosen? No lager for me thanks...

Are you sure about this, guv? It's the client browser that requests the HTML page from the server, and then any component objects - images, css, js includes etc - are requested by the client from their host servers when the page is loaded, surely???
Why would remote images pass through the HTML host's server first? The HTML is static and not read by the server.
Flow chart needed I think.
The reason that you may get a slight degradation in performance is because the UBB is made up of table cells and, unfortunately, most browsers will not display a table until all of it's contents (cells, text, images) have been downloaded.

I agree,From my limited knowledge, I have been wondering for a while, why everybody has been freaking out about Darrens bandwith. The performance will all be relative to the local clients connection and the servers that are providing the images.

Exactly

The image download has no effect on this. The browser starts rendering the page as the HTML is loaded. It may not render tables till it has all the table code and closing tags, but it won't wait for the actual image file to be downloaded. If that was the case then you would see no page at all until all the images were ready, which doesn't happen.
The issue of hotlinking to images is fairly contentious, and quite a lot of big sites have found ways around it, quite reasonably. But a rolling forum like this one isn't likely to cause anyone any grief as the hotlinked image will only be loaded a few times before the thread fades away. It's when people create whole websites using images from other people's servers that there's likely to be problems.
Not that that justifies hotlinking of course, but to me it's just reasonable share-and-share-alike, seeing as I host a site which people hotlink from all the time. Don't suppose that would stand up in court though. You can't go and nick your neighbour's car just because your own car's been nicked by the bloke two streets away. Just borrow it maybe.

Sorry Misc, being kind of recently promoted from Newbie I don't know the roles of everybody, their connections and what they do for TMO and all that. I do know that if I leave all my MP3's and Mpg's open for sharing on Kazaa that I would reach 111.662 Mbs within an hour let alone a day although my connection handles it, no problem.

I meant that's the amount my server is shifting - the majority of which is probably due to hosting images for TMO.

Thx, I thought it was something like that, I was not sure if you were making a statement about hosting images or hosting the forum.
Here are a couple of images taken and manipulated by clever phoo by a new friend of NW and I by the name of John Kaiine (who is more goth than a hansom cab full of vampire bats going to a graveyard):
We think they're ace.

They're all pixellated, with funny colours. Mind you, they look OK once I've phooed around with them a bit - but not like photos! So maybe I'll try that for my personal effort.

Perhaps now "The Third Person" would be a more appropriate tag? I quite like that one. A sort of PS2=advert play-on-words, or "pun".
