Mois : avril 2025

The first of April we launched this years Marathon Photo Déclic – so far, after just over 2 weeks we have 24 people signed up – hopefully this will evolve over the next three weeks of inscriptions.

We even had an article in the Dépêche, which, for once, was actually accurate… (Though I’m certainly not convinced by the photo !)

We’re staying local this year – and despite the fact that everyone will want to climb up to the ‘haute’ ville for each thème, it’s really not necessary – there’s loads of ways to realise your photos in the ‘basse’ ville…

Had some ideas for next years themes already … 🙂

Well I suppose it had to happen one day – the powers that be who now own FLICKR have decided to limit the size of any possible downloads to 1024 x 680 – they ‘accuse’ people of using FLICKR as a useful cloud-based storage system.

To some extent this is true, but realistically with the possibility of storing 1000 images I don’t see this as a really viable alternative to dedicated storage systems (Backblaze, for example)

FLICKR now charge 73$ US for a years ‘subscription’ – this is not totally unreasonable, but the downside is that nothing is transparent, and anyone can download a decent sized image and claim it as their own.

In addition, the no-hopers (like Totshit and all the other bum bandits out there) publish so much dross that the place is fast becoming a real dive – so bye bye losers.
