My first try at a classic. Found this in the San Francisco Bay just off highway 101 south of the City.

Give them time to optimize and cache everything and then decide if they know what they are doing, if it's any faster, more reliable, and how good they are at stealing our stuff.

I can see it's faster already. I had a couple of hickups that they have ironed out (such as sharing newly made Private albums/images). They still have the comment bug (if someone using the flickr mobile app makes a comment it might not show up on the desktop webpage etc). I think they are doing a fantastic job however, things are loading way quicker for me and my net speeds are abysmal.

I think you did great here, exposure is spot on.

Super as always.

Still using the 20-40 in FF mode on the K-1, loving the results. I'm wondering if there would be much interest in me doing a front page article of this lens performance for the K-1 in FF mode. Thus far I am finding a few things workable that were apparently foreshadowed not to be possible (such as shooting close range subjects and generating any usable shots at 40mm, for example);

Thank you. The sun was nicely right on the boat, but the foreground rocks were in the shadow of the freeway embankment behind me. Tried to help it in PP a bit.
