What's new

A Load of Bokeh

To be honest, I am not sure I'm doing anything special. On a Mac, using safari, I just click on the arrow thing like above, and there's still an option to grab the html/bb code. Copy and paste. Maybe I don't have the new view?

Dave, when you go to one of your photo's pages at flickr, are comments below the photo or to the right of the photo? The new format has the comments in a column to the right of the photo, the whole page is dark. The comments are now white words on dark background.

If the comments are below the photo, with black words on white background, that's the format that was just changed.

The comments are below. So looks like it's still the old format. Wonder why I still have that? Browser specific?

I'm hearing from flickr contacts in other countries that theirs haven't changed yet. Maybe flickr considers South Dakota to be a foreign country! :mrgreen:

Although you'd suspect that to be more likely here in New Mexico!

Oh, and if contacts are viewing their flickr on an ipad or other device, the change hasn't gone through for them yet.
 
Mine hasn't changed yet...=)

Hahaha. Actually I live in San Diego. The other SD. I should probably clarify that on my aviator. I do switch between iPad and MacBook and both of them appear to be the old view. Can't wait until I get the pleasure of "upgrading".
 
Can't wait until I get the pleasure of "upgrading".

I find the comments to the side of the image distracting. The way that flickr has implemented the white words on dark background is rather contrasty, making it difficult to read. I don't mind white on dark. I like the way that Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Ps Elements does it. Quite readable and non-distracting. Flickr's implementation leaves a lot to be desired.

And the ability to press "L" on the keyboard to toggle to the flickr lightbox view is gone. Now we get to full screen on black via mousing and clicking on an arrow in the upper right corner of the image.
 
I suspect that they are "still working" on the Safari browser version, maybe? I get the new, "improved" format on both Chrome and IE on my PC. Perhaps Mac users get to keep the better-I mean older- version... :(
 
And now back to some pictures!

 
 
Leonore, superb film work at your flickr.

I can't seem to find a common thread as to browser or location. I'm using a mac with safari, and it switched to the new and improved format. I know others on PCs that have or haven't. So far, those whose language is other than English haven't changed.
This morning at work, using a PC with a very out of date IE, which flickr says right up front isn't supported, my photo pages were the pre-improved layout. Looking at my flickr from my phone's safari, it was the pre-improved layout. Who knows!
 


apple bud to blossom and bokeh





Captured with the rented Fuji X-T1 and XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro lens.

And the X-T1 I've ordered has shipped today and should be here by Wednesday! With the 18-55mm lens.

That's a really interesting camera- congrats! You'll probably want that 60mm Macro lens... just sayin' :D
 
Yes, I probably will want that lens.

At the moment, I'm researching other macro lenses. The fuji X-T1 selects f/stop on the lens itself, much like the pre-digital age. So I've learned that there are adapters made for quite a variety of lens mounts that would allow a lens to be used on fuji's x mount cameras. I'm hoping that I can find a second hand macro lens that will have the aperture selection on the lens, like an old olympus om 50mm f/3.5 macro.
