I've learned, through administering some company wordpress sites that
one really needs to stay on top of upgrading to the latest releases
(of everything: Wordpress, themes, plug-ins, etc.) I imagine the same
is true of just about any software out there (Drupal, Joomla,
b2evolution, etc.)There are vulnerabilities that open up and bots are
written to look for those vulnerable versions and exploit them.

Checking the Changelog of your software will often be informative on
what improvements have been made and sometimes what vulnerabilities
have been patched:
http://www.longtermfix.com/test/blog/doc/changes.html

Googling: "b2evolution [your version number] vulnerability"
will also give some insights into what might have happened. It looks
like b2evolution has been vulnerable to SQL injections and so that
would be my first guess. In some cases the vulnerability results in
your site being used to spam which ends up getting your site
blacklisted by your web host or Google or other sites.

That being said, you will surely find more knowledgeable people on the
b2evolution forums.

I should try that just for fun... I think I have a 32 or 64Mb one somewhere.

Which reminds me, I'd better get out and buy a couple of 16Gb cards for my trip!

We have one in our back yard which the butterflies love.  It grows like crazy 
so my wife prunes it back quite severely each season.  If it were left to me it 
might end up taking over the house.

Re: GESO - NHM competition

Pied Kingfisher is the clear winner of the group, IMHO. What a dynamic shot!

"Takeoff" would be my 2nd choice, but "Whatcha looking at?" is a close third.

A superb gallery. I'd be thrilled to have taken any ONE of them.

My advice with backups is to never trust a hosting provider to do them for you, 
even if you're paying for it.  Also restoring files can be expensive.  A 
company I used to work for found that out; after that we set up our own remote 
backup system which proved quite useful in the long run.

Attila's advice about the upgrade is good, maybe you can upgrade incrementally 
provided you can get hold of the intermediate versions.  I've been involved in 
difficult upgrades like that before - all I can say is "good luck" :)

Re: PESO: astrophotography with the K-3

Wonderful work Steve!
I'm curious: have you done astrophotography like this with other
Pentax (or other) DSLR bodies? If so I'm wondering what your thoughts
are regarding the K-3 vs other bodies you have used in the past, as
far as astrophotography is concerned..

Hi Ben

Since the Google form doesn't have titles as the images do and the images

'Takeoff' & 'Watcha looking at'.

These are all great shots, for sure.

I selected two and I'm scratching my head over your voting form. The
image names (eg BWP_1623) don't appear on the Flickr pages, and the
captions on the Flickr pages appear quite differently in the vote
form. Should I assume that vote item "BWP_1623 (Black & White Beetle)"
is in fact "Whatcha looking at?" ?  I assume so through a process of
elimination.

I hope you do well!

All nicely done photos, Ben. I like the B&W of the beetle most. I have no real 
input towards what makes a winning image in this category, however. It's too 
far out of my photographic oeuvre.

2014-10-01 Thread Bob W-PDML

Hi Ben,

Stunning photos - at just the first glance you can see there's a professional 
taking pictures of his subject. Just superb, all of them. It's difficult to 
compare from the index page when they are different sizes - my instinct is to 
favour the larger photos, which does not do the others justice. Nevertheless, 
alea jacta est. if you don't win I'd love to see who does better - must be 
really worthwhile.

GESO my September "faves"

2014-10-01 Thread Larry Colen

It seems that most of my photography in September was at dance events or 
watching friends play gigs.  A fair amount of competent stuff, much of 
which would have made it into my monthly favorites a few years back.


Here are a few that I liked from last month.

GESO - NHM competition

2014-10-01 Thread Ben Price

Hi folks,

I don’t often post, but I do enjoy the images shared and discussions on this 
mailing list. I work at the Natural History Museum in London and every year the 
staff have an internal photo competition parallel to the Wildlife Photographer 
of the Year. Each member of staff can submit two photos and the competition is 
pretty fierce.

I’ve put together a gallery of my 10 favourite photos to enter, but I need your 
help to narrow it down to the final two. The gallery is on Flickr here: 
https://flic.kr/s/aHsk4BirfF

If you could let me know your two choices through this google form I would 
appreciate it: http://goo.gl/forms/bpDIQjHkpK

Last year I put in two of my favourites and didn’t even make the second round, 
so here’s hoping a bit of external (unbiased) advice will help!

Cheers,

Ben

Re: Completely OT: sometimes you just go slackjawed

The ambulance used to transport the ebola patient on Sunday was only
taken out of service THIS MORNING (Wed.).
They clean them between runs, I'm sure, so this is probably out of "an
abundance of caution" but it still shows that people are not thinking
things through in a timely manner.

I do this too.

However, last night I realized that for my finished sets of "Concert 
Photographs", where I'd already culled the best of many machine-gun-sequenced 
shots, there was no reason to keep the leftovers.

I went through my last 3 years of images from various events (it's obvious when 
I see a single folder with 5-700 images in it) and nuked everything that hadn't 
been edited or included in a collection.

15 minutes of this work yielded 200gigabytes (!!) of space cleared off of my 
drive.  No regrets (yet)

Simple solution: Get yourself a 512-meg SD card and you'll only be able to

Re: PESO: Bypass Ghost Tree (re crop)

Don,
Am including a link to your suggested crop of Bypass Ghost Tree. What kept me

I don't choose to crop out any of the tree's reflection.
Would appreciate your reaction.

Re: OT - My blog is dead!

Ouch! Your host should also have backups, but it's a good idea to make
your own backups for a little added safety. If your version is 5 years
old, maybe you can't upgrade directly to the latest version, but
better ask their support / forums.

PESO: Another Side of the Lady

One of the things I like about Painted Ladies ()  is that the
appear very different depending on whether they are revealing the
underside of their wing or the upper side.  My previous PESO of a
Painted Lady showed the intricate underside of the wing.  This image
reveals the upper wing, which has a different color and pattern.  The
upper wings are more difficult to portray, as the Lady almost always
folds her wings above her body when resting, and when she does open
the wings, it is almost always just a brief flap that is difficult to
capture.

Exposure seem pretty good now. I like the subject and I wonder if you 
could crop in a little tighter to emphasize the tree & reflection. The 
slanting hillside in the background keeps catching my eye. YMMV

OT - My blog is dead!

Last night I tried to post a couple of new images and found that new 
posts would no longer display on my blog - the content was in the posts 
when opened for editing but the published pages came up with just the 
titles and no content in the body of the post. Since the version of 
B2Evoluiton that I was using was over 5 years old, I tried upgrading as 
a hopeful solution - but the upgrade process crashed partway through. It 
did update the mySQL database enough to make it incompatible with older 
versions of B2E, though!


Ug - I do have backups of the database and the rest of the site from 
Friday, yesterday and today, so hopefully I can restore it and try 
again. This would probably be a good time to rethink what platform to 
use to share images, though at any rate I'd hate to lose almost 10 years 
worth of blogging!


I hate dealing with this stuff because I have no idea of the 
technicalities involved. HOpefully the forums on b2evolution.net will 
have a useful solution.

Lovely building, looks very inviting, even more so in that weather. I
might have been tempted to stay longer than intended.

This is my fave, nice composition, gives the illusion of endless
waterfall steps.

Nice scenery is always welcome. I looked at all of them and lingered 
over several. I will share them with my wife as well. It has been may 
years since my wife & I were in England and we enjoy looking at current 
photos. We were in York, Bolton, Manchester, Chester, the Lakes District 
and London. Oh & she swears we are going back before our passports expire.

Re shot this scene this AM. The white tree was somewhat clipped and I decided 
to tone it all down.
I'm much happier with this copy.

Suppose I could find the previous version for comparison. May do that later.

Thanks for looking! Comments sought.

Well, I meant the former, but I don't know P.J. well enough to know if
he also does P-J, perhaps even in his PJ's?

"Be yourself" is often suggested, along with the need for good shoes.
There's a strong PJ slant, imho, but it's a good thought-provoking
