OT: Ansel Adams' 1940s Los Angeles set on Flickr
Beginning around 2011, some rarely seen photos by Ansel Adams (in urban mode) were assembled into some shows. A few web and magazine articles appeared, but the images were small and/or just a small sample of those images. Googling around, I found a Flickr user that somehow seems to have put the full set online, and I pass it along for your enjoyment. Not exactly the Half Dome, but interesting nonetheless. http://www.flickr.com/photos/1000photosofnewyorkcity/sets/72057594083888984 -- Nothing is sure but death and Pentaxes. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I believe you have started slide-show mode. I can see that if I double-click on a photo after it's displayed, but perhaps there are other ways of starting it. But I do not get slide-show mode simply from going to Darren's link, single-clicking a photo, and using the arrows to advance. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Thanks for posting this. Flickr's latest notions of a great display really does suck. First time I've had to explain to people how to look at photos on the site. The idiotic ken burns effect with any accidental click on the images is enough to drive me crazy.
