Shel, When did we ever say the Pentax Users Gallery was open to shots produced entirely by non-Pentax branded equipment? I don't remember anything like this!
I could see slightly bigger pictures in the PUG, but as mentioned, bandwith used will surely jump. But from my point of view, we need three things. First, we need some better subjects for monthly PUG challenges. Second, we need some reminders to submit to the PUG. And third, we need some more commentary on the PUG galleries. I really like the PUG galleries and comments much better than the PAW's and PESO's. Although I like seeing the pictures from the PAW's and PESO's, they are often too much and they are surely too disorganized. I think we spend a lot of time saying - 'Oh that's good!' and sorting thru the pictures. And I think the gallery has an organizing effect. It puts all the pictures in one place and suggests we provide our best efforts. It's not just something good we shot this week, but a common theme we are all trying to interpret. There is a different level of committment required to publish a picture and a different level of enjoyment in seeing and commenting on them. Regards, Bob S.
