SMS - 18 Aug 2008 18:15 GMT Original Charter
-----begin----- This group is for the discussion of all aspects of 35mm camera equipment. This includes 35mm SLR camera bodies and lenses, 35mm point-and-shoot cameras, 35mm rangefinder cameras, 35mm scale focus cameras and 35mm half-frame cameras.
All postings made to this group should conform to existing Usenet guidelines (see news.announce.newusers for guideline documents). This group explicitly prohibits the posting of commercial advertisements or other promotional material, whether or not it is in any way related to photography. Binary postings (i.e. non text postings) are prohibited. -----end-----
Notes on the Charter -------------------- The creators of this group wisely did not include any reference to the type of sensor, even though both film and digital sensors were in existence at the time of the groups creation. Clearly they knew that eventually there would be digital sensors that were the same size as 35mm film, and they did not want to exclude discussion of these products.
At this time there are not separate Usenet groups for 35mm film based SLRs and 35mm digital based SLRs; rec.photo.equipment.35mm is a proper venue for all posts regarding all types of 35mm cameras, including SLR 35mm film, SLR 35mm digital, and point and shoot 35mm film (there are no 35mm point and shoot digital cameras at this time).
35mm digital cameras include the following:
Canon 5D (no longer in production) Canon 7D Canon EOS-1Ds (no longer in production) Canon 1Ds Mark II (no longer in production) Canon 1Ds Mark III Contax N Digital (no longer in production) Kodak Pro DCS-14/n (no longer in production) Kodak Pro DCS-14/c (no longer in production) Nikon D3 Nikon D700
There is a Usenet group that is solely for digital SLR cameras of all types regardless of the sensor size, this group is rec.photo.digital.slr-systems.
Posts regarding true 35mm digital SLRs may be be posted to both rec.photo.digital.slr-systems and rec.photo.equipment.35mm. Many professional and amateur photographers use both film and digital SLR bodies, and use the same set of lenses, flashes, and other accessories on the bodies.
Alan Justice - 18 Aug 2008 19:12 GMT Oops! I owe a big apology to this group. I have visited here from time to time over the years, but did not know of the policy not to post "commercial advertisements or other promotional material, whether or not it is in any way related to photography." So when I recently posted a link to my NEW SITE, http://home.earthlink.net/~wildlifepaparazzi/ , which shows some very nice (IMHO) nature photos with information about the subjects (species, shooting data, ect.), I was out of line. I do have a page there that discusses the possibility of making sales, so, even though most folks would see it as educational, it should be considered promotional material. Mea culpa. I'll never, ever, ever, do that again.
Of course this probably does not apply to my other sites:
http://home.earthlink.net/~roosevelt_elk/ http://home.earthlink.net/~alan_justice/ http://home.earthlink.net/~north_coast/ http://home.earthlink.net/~nature_photography/ http://home.earthlink.net/~nationalparks/
They do not discuss sales, (although they do link to the first site, which does).
Again, I apologize for this inexcusable transgression.

The reason for my earlier post was simply to make the point that rec.photo.equipment.35mm is in no way restricted by the charter to the discussion of only film-based 35mm equipment. The word "film" is never mentioned in the charter. 35mm digital equipment is certainly a legitimate topic for discussion in this group.

Alan... ignore those who think you're trying to sell sand to the Arabs or ice to the Eskimos. Anyone with half a brain (high IQ for this group I admit) would know your site is a learning process for you and although I have the ability to help you, I've refrained because discussion like that are off-topic for this group.
IF promoting the "Shootin" is on-topic, so is promoting *ANY* site hosting photos likely to be of interest to photographers.
I whole heartedly vote you continue your learning and actually get a sales site going. You are about as likely to sell photos to the motley crew in this group as you are to get a ticket on the next space shuttle but your photos and how you took them are definitely of interest to many subscribers here.
To not post them because of some wacky jerk playing Net Kop posts an objection is a travesty of justice. The big bloke of everything newsgroups on the board of the "big 8" who administer this group, lays it out here: http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=faqs:index#newsgroup_charters
That's right... Groups change as the participants alter subject matter to keep the group alive... Net Kops are a pain in the a.s. Ignore 'em. The charter is a guide for establishment of a group. Once established, it becomes a historical document - not an absolute set of rules, as I once thought them to be.
Newsgroup rules are made on the fly. Usenet is pure Anarchy. The most forceful and resourceful win... ALWAYS! Survival of the fittest stuff. Natural attrition in it's purest form. Don't let any single person tell you what to do. When half a dozen tell you the same thing, it's time to change.

Alan Justice - 19 Aug 2008 23:57 GMT I wouldn't think of trying to sell photos to anyone in this group (well, maybe if you insist). It was strictly for you who like to see nature photos and learn about how they were shot. The information with the photos is not just lens and f-stop, but some comments on how to set up or anticipate the shot. (My "apology" was made with tongue planted firmly in cheek). Plus I was hoping for constructive criticism, which I got (and, amazingly none was rude!). I would welcome any comments which you fear may be inappropriat for this group (although I feel that information on how to display photos taken with 35-mm equipment is relevant) off-line at : the part after the "~" in the address for any of the sites, plus "@earthlink.net".

At some point in your development you will need to embrace the notion that only you ought to have control over your web site and it's shopping cart. That's when you get to decide if $25 a month or even $10 a month is worth the investment to host your own site.
As for getting your site up in the Google rankings? $650 for 3 months is the going rate. I do my own SEO work and have three sites at the top of the ranking tree - for keywords I've identified people use.
Until I achieved that ranking, I got no business at all from the Internet. Today I rely on it!
How you decide to go from here is what will determine if you too, collect a bunch of insecure idiots as trolls who hang on your every word as you get more and more successful at what they can't do, will be a significant decision for you.
One thing is absolutely certain... You will learn ZERO about setting up and running a successful web site selling photos in a group like this.

As for caddying, I personally know about 5 guys from my town who caddy on the PGA Tour, and they're all about my age. It might come as a shock to you, but the reason I and most other people don't steal has nothing to do with fear. It has to do with honesty, which I know is a foreign concept to you.
Oh, BTW, here's some free advice from your old pal...in the future when you are trying to tell someone they are "too stupid" to do something, try to at least spell it correctly.

Also, subject don't agree with verb, and to awkwardly split an infinitive isn't such a good idea.

This post is off-topic for this newsgroup, rec.photo.equipment.35mm, which is concerned with film cameras that use 35mm film, not digital cameras that look like 35mm SLRs.
Please use an appropriate newsgroup for postings on digital cameras. One of the following groups would be a good place for such postings:

Hahaha The chemist must be on strike up that way and doggy's drugs have run out. I haven't had alcohol since XMAS 2007 but Doggy has never let the truth get in the way of a good story (read: Doggy invented usenet)
Got to love how Doggy is the one always changing his name but accuses everyone else of it (didn't he have 11 names last week)
Hahahaha non keyboard character, I would rate that as one of the funniest posts Doggy has ever posted. So in the last week I can't have the 28-135 lens as Canon never shipped it in a kit (http://www.pbase.com/temuchin/image/101816963) and now I have non keyboard characters.
Wonder if Doggy celebrates when he actually gets something right.
Just did a quick search
I have been using non keyboard characters in aus.photo since 7th April 2006 http://groups.google.com.au/group/rec.autos.sport.f1/browse_thread/thread/ab17c1 4c37637ccd/da54f851bd74caca?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=%5Etemuchin%5E#da54f851bd74caca
And the same non keyboard characters in aus.tv since 11th February 2004 http://groups.google.com.au/group/aus.tv/browse_thread/thread/5be4211d14cd04ed/6 f9cc8be28c9147b?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=%5Etemuchin%5E#6f9cc8be28c9147b

Yes, I thought the same thing when I saw that. Half frame was mostly 18 x 24 mm, pretty close to the cropped sensors in the non-professional Nikon, Canon, Pentax, and Sony digital SLRs.

> Original Charter > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > including SLR 35mm film, SLR 35mm digital, and point and shoot 35mm film > (there are no 35mm point and shoot digital cameras at this time). Actually, not true. First of all, you're basically trying to read the minds of those who wrote the charter retrospectively, which is a pretty inexact science.
But more to the point, when this group was created, there were digital SLRs that were in the same form factor as 35mm film cameras (used the same lenses, had a sensor approximately the size of a 35mm film frame, etc.), but as you well know, they were enormously expensive and not very widely used. Nobody really knew which way digital photography would go at that point. So it's quite a stretch to just breezily assume that "they" (the charter writers) were specifically including digital cameras under that heading. If that were the case, don't you think they would have spelled it out? I would think so.

So why waste your time and ours posting 1000 times that a certain post violates the charter? It serves no purpose other than clogging up the group with a bunch of off-topic crap that nobody cares about. And isn't that what the charter tries to prevent?

Alas, people like this never go away. They crave the attention they get from people requesting that they behave.

It would have been very easy to either include the word "film" or specifically exclude digital. They didn't do either.

There does not seem to be any "film" postings in rec.photo.equipment.35. Pretty much there are digital posts and a few shoot in posts. I guess 35mm film really is dead.
