The brutal wind chill didn't really allow me to think a lot on which words to use to ornament the series of images I took there. Nor did the light leak on the Koni Omega (and later its frozen shutter) leave me with plenty of useable ones.So I'll post this one (rescued after some photoshop help) and as I did that day, run for a suitable shelter, picking up the mushrooms I'll find in the process of course. Because that's why I was there in first place.
El brutal viento helado no me dejó pensar en muchas frases con que ornamentar las imágenes que tomé allí. Tampoco la fuga de luz en la Koni Omega (ni más tarde su obturador congelado) me dejaron con muchas fotos que usar.
Así que subiré esta (rescatada con un poco de ayuda del photoshop) y tal como hice en su momento, correré a buscar algo que me sirva de refugio, sin dejar de recoger las setas que encuentre por el camino, claro. Porque en el fondo, a eso es a lo que había ido allí.

PBase vs. Flickr, Flickr vs. PBase...

As long term user of PBase, I've always been happy with their services, but at the same time always had the strange feeling that I was waiting for ... something.
Don't know, maybe a more flexible interface, or spam management, but over all, I think it was something small yet very powerful.
What I was waiting for was plain and simply, tags, or more specifically, a simple and straightforward tag/category management. Something I was even missing in this same previous version of blogger before this new reincarnation.
And then, here it comes the new animal in town. Not so new, I know. I've had an account with flickr for several months now but only a while ago I decided to explore it fully. Their 'plain white face' looked at first too... raw ?
Time went by, I became more used to it, and discovered finally how powerful the whole tag/category and mainly the contacts/comments mechanisms are. In some way the tags/comments/contacts/groups structure makes it an utopia of photographic communication.
And this leaves me thinking what to do next, keeping both PBase and flickr, stay with the former, or maybe take the plunge and move to a pro account on the later ?
I sure know that I find quite annoying to start replicating photo gallery and storage sites, so this is probably going to be one of those Thunder Dome episodes, you know, two enter...
Oh, and this thing above is a clue that my Koni Omega needs new light seals at some place...
