@MSM - If you right click on any of the photos here and hit properties you can see where the picture is hosted. Many of us are using Flickr, but Zenfolio, photobucket, Picasa and Smug Mug also have their fans.

I'm probably missing a couple of hosting sites in that list, not to mention people with their own websites for hosting. Several of those hosting sites will automatically resize your images to several sizes so you can choose which one to post at a given location. Other hosts will allow you (or require you) to resize the images yourself before you upload them.

Flickr is fairly popular because the first 200 images are free and the bandwidth used by linking to them is essentially unlimited. I haven't looked at the benefits of other hosting options recently.

Looks like I will have to look into it.

Thanks

Here one from a SMC Takumar 135mm 2.5, part number 43812.

Something about this lens wide open, it's really nice.

Kind of hard to use the rule of thirds on a shot like that with the rake on that bike! I can't tell, but is that a white guy on that bike? You probably don't see that everyday in Japan. I like the look on the other guy's face, checking the bike out. Nice capture Mike!

Mike Cash · 04-30-2009, 11:42 AM

I've seen a lot of these custom choppers in showrooms, but it was the first time ever I've seen one on the street. I just wanted to document it. The other bike was just a bonus I didn't notice until I got home. I came damn near to deleting the photo in-camera because he was there. I'm glad I didn't because without him there would be nothing interesting about the picture at all.
