Stupid Flickr Question
Can I make my photostream private so no one can see it, but still have albums of photos that I make "public"? Flickr's help pages are kind of opaque & I haven't figured it out yet. The problem with the photostream is it has only ONE way to sort photos, in the date/time order you upload them. I think the albums allow you to order the photos any way you want to. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.

Re: D-FA 50mm f/1.4 - Good News
Like every other new 50mm lens it will be super corrected. Compare the size of a current Zeiss, Canon, Nikon, etc., 50mm f1.4 in size and number of elements and groups and you'll find that they are all about twice the size, the weight, and quadruple the cost, to eliminate all optical defects possible in search of ultimate sharpness from wide open to the smallest diffraction limited aperture.

PESO - Bluebells - state flowers
Both Saturday night and (especially) Sunday night, we had violent thunder and lightning, with gusty winds and several (3-4) periods of hail in our area. Nickel- and quarter-sized hail caused multi-thousand-dollar damages. (Actually, in some cases, the hail was up to a golf-ball in size.) But on Saturday, many people rushed to take photos in the patches of bluebells, - the state flower of Texas. All comments are welcome: http://42graphy.org/misc/Bluebells_IR45167.jpg Also, one specific question: does this photo appear at the right brightness on your screen?
