After that Phorumr script broke with the new Flickr page, I got tired of manually putting in the BBCode and copying over URLs, so I wrote a new one.

Now, as a warning, I should tell you that this is horribly hacked together and may break at any moment. I do not really know JavaScript; I just pretend to and used the google extensively to look up functions.

If you haven't seen it, he was featured on the BBC's Genius of Photography series.

Oh I know, and to hell with focus by wire forever. You do still get mechanical manual focus when you disengage the drive screw on (screw-driven) Nikon lenses though. It's not ideal since it clearly wasn't designed to be the primary way of focusing, but I imagine it could be improved if some company really wanted to.

Most Canon EF lenses have mechanical focus coupling (I think there is about two exceptions), and a few of them come with Full Time Manual which means you can do manual adjustments without having to switch to the lens to manual. I believe some Nikon lenses also have full time manual capabilities.

It's a bit unfair to call it flickr 2.0; for one thing the comments aren't full of people posting tastless 'As seenin group x' or 'triple gold' images.

While there are more people doing bulk dumps of substandard phtos, the popular stream is still stuffed full of the same level of photo it always had been.

Santa is strapped posted:

Yea, instead of 'triple gold' you get 'voted'. Instead of 'seen in group x' you get 'check out my stream and don't forget to vote and comment'.

But a text-only comment whoring for attention is many magnitudes less obnoxious than the masive gifs that get used by the 'as seen in group x' groups. The main difference is the voting is an integrated part of the site, you're suppost to like/vote the photos you like, so they can rank the interesting. Of course in an ideal world people wouldn't seek back-scratching, but I'll only worry if serious crap starts rising to the top. As it is, most of the feedback is just short cliches, so I tend to totally ignore the comments that aren't left on mine; something you can do because you're not being visually assaulted by tacky animated gif.

Also 'you get voted' is a theoretical concept when it comes to my photos...

I do (delete) and don't (joined such groups). Okay, I was laying the drama on a bit thick, but flickr comments can sometimes descend in to a mess. I find the cleanness of 500px far preferable.

I don't know, there's such a huge disconnect between what photographers and people interested in art think is a good photo and what people who instagram the poo poo out of everything think is a good photo that it's hard to really gauge

There's also often a massive disconnect between "people interested in art" and photographers. The Art School clique who'll hang a photo of an old shoe and write two hundred words on the photo's social commentary, but turn their noses up at something like world class sports photography.

I don't post photos here, given this is an anonymous pseudonym. As for my previous comment, it was a bit harsh (it was intended to be more jocular than it came across). Nevertheless, there is an interesting dichotomy between the wider photographic community and the 'art school crowd'. Every so often I pop in to the Photographer's Gallery in London, which is the capitals largest gallery dedicated to photography, but all too much has a notable selective focus in what sort of photography is worthwhile.

That with repeated visits, it's soon apparent that they're largely interested in 'conceptual photography with social commentary', and ignore everything else. I've no idea why I used the word 'selective' instead of narrow; that's the very sort of wankery I was criticizing.

They've recently opened a new, larger building, and I gather there's a better diversity. But certainly a few years ago there was a debate after Magnum photographer Chris Steele-Perkins commented �I don�t hate the Photographer�s Gallery, I just think they�re poo poo.�

It would be easy to make the argument that say, 'War photography changed the world, landscape and nature photography is trivia', but would the environmental movement be the same if we'd never seen the wonders of the world? I believe that all genres have their worthwhile and non-worthwhile works.

Unfortunately tumblr is terrible at being a community space, it's a churn and burn of 'content'.

Maybe others have a different experience, but I have to say I've found that to be true for 500px too. The focus just seems to be single ranking number and hitting the front page of popular. It works at a platform for the cream of the crop to build an audience, it doesn't seem to foster proper two-way friendships and discussion (just "I liked your photo, can you like mine please?").

I haven't seen the movie, but I did find the original autobiography an engrossing read. Are there any photographer (auto)biographies that have goon approval? The only other one I have is Don McCullin's Unreasonable Behaviour, which again I would recommend.
