I thought the free (base) was based on mgs,not number of images...
I'm a paying contributor ($25 a year seemed very reasonable to me for 100 mgs
and
I like the organization) - when I signed up they tol me it was 3 mgs free and
100 for $25 a year.
But someone else mentioned number of shots --

I'm just intrigued and sometiems puzzled by which photos of mine get rated
and/or viewed as opposed to others.

I think 5 is the base amount, and it goes up from there.

I used to comment/rate much more than I do now.  I haven't checked,
but I'd guess I've about 40 or 50 requests for critique of my photos,
and I've likely critiqued and/or rated 150 or so photos - but that's
over a 12 or 18 month period, so it's not really that much.

Here is what their web site says. :-) And yes, it's still confusing to 
me.

"For Trial/Guest Members (that is, non-subscribers), photo.net provides 
an allowance for Gallery photos, mainly so that you can participate in 
the Photo Critique Forum. Your basic quota is 5 images, plus an "extra" 
allowance of images based on your participation and how popular your 
images are. The computation of the number of extra images will be done 
periodically by photo.net and may fluctuate, up or down, without 
notice. If you are relying on this "extra" allowance to keep images in 
your portfolio, you should check from time to time whether your quota 
has changed in order to avoid being over-quota. We don't disclose the 
method we use for determining the "extra" allowance; but your quota 
will be at least your "basic" quota of 5, PLUS the number of photos 
that you have submitted to the Photo Critique Forum for critique or 
rating. So, in effect, photos that you submit to the Photo Critique 
forum will not count against your quota."

Albano,

Not any more!!  Photo.net has changed their policy.  No more "100 free
uploads".  I don't know exactly what it is now, as they have some
arcane (and unpublished) formula based on one's participation in the
photo rating game, both as a rater, and as far as how many ratings
your photos have.

So, my number of "freebies" went from 100, down to 46, now it's up to 50.

But, they still let you upload if you're over your limit, it's just
that they may delete some of your photos without notice if they need
the space.

Or, something like that.  I can't figure it out...

cheers,
frank

Hi Steve
I can recommend signing up with www.Flickr.com
It's free (for a certain, limited upload  each month), it's very easy and
it's brilliant. For instance it has a slide slow option. It's has a free
download-software option. Check it out!

Also there's www.fotopic.net shich gives you 250 Mb of free space!
There are other free websites for pics as well.
all the best

Cory,

Thanks for that reply!  I just checked my ISP's web
site, which is Comcast, and apparently I can use 175MB
of free storage!  That should do it.  Has anyone else
used Comcast's storage service?  I have not yet read
the fine print, but I assume I maintain copyrights?


Thanks again!

Now for the tedious job of searching thru my photos
and figuring out how to upload them.

Happy New Year everyone-be safe!

If you are on something like AOL or another common ISP, you usually have a 
certain amount of FTP allotted to you. You have to learn how to access it, 
create your own HTML pages, add the photo (scan or digital). Make your photos 
jpgs 
about 800X600 pixels so they will load quickly for others. 

You can make an index page with thumbnails of all your PAWs and PESOs. Or you 
can do what I do, just throw up a photo now and then, then later delete the 
page and photo (I start running out of ftp space).

There are also photo services on the Net such PhotoNet and others (free and 
not), where you can post your photos. The best way to become familiar with them 
is just look at the urls when people post their photos on this list. I think 
about every service is used on this list. When you look at others' photos you 
see if you like the way the service lays out things.

Re: PESO, PAW, etc.-How to post?

Steve,
To post an image to this list, you have to have it on the web somewhere. 
The biggest public gallery here is the PUG (Pentax User's Gallery).  It's 
at:  http://pug.komkon.org/
Submission information and monthly themes are accessed from links on that 
page.  Also, check out the large catalog of previous month's work.  it's a 
GREAT way to spend s day at work goofing off :)

There are many places on the web that you can upload your photos to.  Most 
cost money.  Make sure you check the fine print for their copyright 
information.  You don't want to give them permission to use your photos 
however they want...

And check with your ISP.  There's probably a small amount (10MB) of storage 
space that you get with your monthly service.  It can be very confusing at 
first but once you get the hang of it and can remember what the URLs are, 
it's pretty easy to use your ISPs space.

Good luck!
Cory

Good questions, Steve, I will add this information to the mini-FAQ, but am 
answering it here as well to make sure you see it.

For PESO/PAW/WOW/ETC, you put it up on the web somewhere and post a URL in your 
message. You can not post photos directly to the list, the list management 
software will automatically delete your post.

For the more formal monthly PUG (http://pug.komkon.org/) there is a link to 
instructions at the bottom of the page.

Photos for the PUG must be made with Pentax equipment. For the others that is 
preferred, but not required.
