    I'm having more than the usual problems with this forum slide show not displaying photos in the order posted. It is very annoying and really distracts from my ability to enjoy the work posted and comment to the correct photographer.

    Agree. It was quick grab shot because it was freezing and I intend to re-take it.

    I enjoy Q2 more than I expected. I think subconsciously I am conditioned to like it, regardless of what after spending all this money :)

    Undoubtedly the technology is moving forward at great speed and I periodically use my phone (samsung S21) in the absence of a real cam, but to me personally there is no comparison. There is a place and time for it, but It's all about haptics. It's like driving manual vs automatic...

    Nevertheless, good shot. It demonstrates what can be achieved with today's smart phone lens.

    Both very nice shots. Interesting how the coat and hat match the period of the large wheel bicycle.

    Agree. Apparently Admin is working on solutions. We have to be patient. I hope Flat view vs Threaded is on the top of the list...

    First one for me is the winner. Excellent.

    At first glance they look similar but yes, break up on closer inspection.

    I believe my mobile uses a technique similar to Olympus' Live Composition, it takes a base exposure then adds moving objects to it.

    That's a good angle.

    Some people link to shots on Flickr etc. rather than uploading the actual image.

    I like the expression on the guy's face. The processing is a little flat by your standards?
    The second is a fine shot.

    These were taken on consecutive days less than 24 hours apart.

    Interesting idea. I could link to my lightroom gallery. However, I haven't seen anyone else do that and without that it doesn't help me viewing their photos.

    None of these problems... no delete... flaky slide show... threaded conversations... exist on dpreview.com. I haven't been here consistently this year so I don't know what conversation transpired that caused you to decide to keep this thread here after dpreview.com announced that it would stick around.

    Because the guys here invested a lot of time, effort and money to get this site running when DPR announced it was closing. I felt it morally right to support them after DPR changed its mind again.
