Hello Hermelin, No offense meant but did you ever have a critical look at your own photos....? I’m sorry, but I’d say that is is exactly what you’re doing yourself: you point the camera at random street “scenes” and post them here. I don’t see big stories in your pictures either.

Sorry no offense meant - but what is this?

Please, can anybody tell me how I can upload bigger pictures from my iPad? The ones that are generated by the device look pretty bad because they have not more than around 120KB..... Thanx a lot in advance!

Kuala Lumpur is a really fascinating city.. But what I really don't get is: who's buying all these crappy designer goods. The whole city seems to be one big shopping mall...

Walking the streets of Kuala Lumpur just 3 days ago, so I could develop the pics only incamera and on my iPad...

Hi, I think I got the point already at first sight. Nice idea! But still I think that the pictures are not really interesting or well done. Sorry - no trolling but that's simply how I see these pics. I think there should still be some kind of story (e.g. people acting like monkeys themselves or eating like a pig.). But here - in my eyes - it's just pictures of people outside the fence that you can find in thousands of family albums or Facebook pages... But I'm totally with you when it comes to criticize zoos. That's why I never visit them. And by the way: how can I not post all the pictures when I just want to reply? I didn't find the right button. Cheers HArry

Hi, sorry but I don't get the point. Why did you poste these pics? Looks just like snapshots from the zoo... I miss something special, an interesting composition or a situation with some content. Greetings Harry

Hi, nice thread you started here! In my opinion this pic is not entertaining or funny at all but rather alarming. I shot to in Berlin at the Holocaust Memorial and these fellas were simply ignorant to where they were shooting their silly holiday shots grinning and making funny faces. I'd say even sitting in top of these steles should be considered inappropriate.

Help, can anyone tell me how to poste better looking pictures here in the forum? On my computer the results are much more vivid and cleaner.

I want to protect the pictures a little bit. Of course everybody can still copy them but the watermark makes it a little bit more uninteresting, I think. On the other hand with 500 KB nobody can really do a lot of harm. Maybe you and the others complaining are right.... To be honest: I'm not very experienced with social media. I'm not on Facebook and don't even have a smartphone. So I made a small research on the net before posting things here in this forum. And there are the ones that do it and the ones that don't use watermarks. Both sides have their reasons which are not complete nonsense so I made the decision to use it. Maybe I'm gonna poste some new pics without watermarks and see how it feels.... ;-) Harry

Hi, thanx for feedback! #9: Closing the aperture was not possible due to the 55-00mm which is not the fastest lens around. Now I've got the 50-140mm which is optically incredible but a brick in my bicycle backpack and draws much more attention... But like always: you can not have everything in one single package (in German we call it the "Egg producing-wool-milk-pig") but the AF is so much better and in terms of sharpness that lens is just out of space! #4: it was exactly the blue dustbin, that drew my attention because it corresponded so well with the flames of the cheese makers oven. Of course it's just an ugly dustbin but it's part of the scene and isn't that what street photography is all about? Without the bin it would be just a nice portrait but the trashcan adds something authentic. But that's just my interpretation... #13: Thank you very much!!! I had a look at the original picture once again and saw, that there is quite a much better framing possibility... Sometimes one is just blind. I think now it's much better. Greetings Harry

Hi Harlem, give them another try - I just changed the watermarks and made them less ugly. Better now?
