Gallery Picks from the week ending Oct.19,2015

Richard, I enjoyed your post picks all are outstanding. Especially liked the one by MV72 which is such a very good composition. I am drawn readily to compositions that include foreground interest like this one. Good to hear from you look forward to seeing your choices when you have time.
 
I have to scroll through three pages of shots to get to 10/19. I'd say that is a pretty good count. It used to be better??

Anyway, Klurfield - Color

Tony I wish more people would participate, the Monday Gallery has been a great inspiration for me since I first started shooting rangefinders.

I looks like the gallery is in a little bit of a slump since summer. Postings to the gallery have dropped from well over 20 pages a week to only 6 last week. And participation in the weekly gallery picks is abysmal. Is everybody in some kind of post summer depression ... not inspired to take any pictures or just posting somewhere else?

I'd like to participate in both more gallery postings, and in the weekly pics, and in general make my RRF experience more about photos and less about gear (and its attendant, acrimonious debates).

But, dare I say it? Both the gallery posting/upload interface, and the "pics" process, are kind of a PITA and seem woefully outdated and clumsy compared to modern web interfaces.

Posting-wise, the maximum image size is much too small, far smaller than any other site I upload to. That means adding another output size to my workflow. The lens "tagging" dropdown is a nightmare, especially if you are shooting with Leica glass. The one-at-a-time filepicker is a drag. There are a lot of poorly labeled, seemingly inconsequential fields.

Dealing with the weekly "pics" is even worse. It would be great if we could just nominate "pics" directly in the gallery; instead there is a lot of copy/paste of links etc. There is no internal threading - any "I like that one too" involves quoting the image, often many posts down from the original message and more recent pics get all jumbled in.

I'm all for anything that gets RFF members concentrating on the images, promotes critique and discussion, and generally allows us to show off our communial "best of" - but the current process is just too tiresome.
