For access and viewing, could Fodorites tell me which site is better and why? The quality of the photos should be the same. Thanks.

I'm still interested in a comparison of these two sites. Thanks.

Michael:

The first site is easier because it requires no filling in of information by the viewer.

Great pictures, btw. It looks like you and I were in the same places at the same time in the Dordogne in 2004!

Nice photos!
I agree with StCirq that the first site was better because you don't need the signin. But if there is a way to view the thumbnails separately without the slideshow, I couldn't find it. And I don't like being forced to view a slideshow, I'd rather click on the thumbnails I like. May I recommend another option altogether - pbase. I think it's the best photo website out there - I've been a customer for almost 2 years.

Hi Mike,

I think that the shots from ofoto weresharper and had better color definition.

You can turn off the sign in requirement when you send the message to share the album.

I agree with Ira, the pictures are sharper, but on both still WONDERFUL!! Thanks,some of the lovliest I've seen of the Dordogne here.

Fabulous photos!!!!
Can I ask what kind of camera you used?

I like the photoworks site better, only because there is a visible description, which there is not on ofoto.
Have you ordered prints from there?

jonesie

edit to previous post, you can see the titles on ofoto, once you launch the slideshow.
I still think I like the photoworks site better......

Michael

My standard site is Photoworks, because it is the only processor that still will give me slides, negatives and web site posting from the print film that I submit; I am still sticking to slides for any showing in my house. So I am glad to hear that the presentation is acceptable. The fact of the matter is that the manipulation by the owner of the photos is more difficult than on Ofoto, and access to the site itself and the albums is much slower than on Ofoto. But I'll live with it. It's interesting that Ofoto images appeared sharper to some viewers since they only are copies of what was posted originally on Photoworks.

I use a Canon EOS with its standard lens and a 28-210mm Tamron zoom. I still regret my old Konica, but the sealers rotted away and they could not be replaced. Moreover, mercury batteries were no longer sold. But it was mechanical and worked even when the batteries died.

I thought the picture quality was sharper on Photoworks, even though the pictures were larger. However, the images took longer to load on Photoworks.

I liked the Photoworks too. We just bought our first digital camera...wow are we behind the times. A Canon 300?...that sounds right. Anyway, your pictures are lovely.

Thanks for sharing.

Michael

Loisco--I think you misunderstood my reply. I do not use a digital camera. The web images are simply part of the developing package for regular film.

Michael, my eye isn't trained enough to notice any discernable difference between the two, though I thought the photoworks was quicker and more user-friendly. That area of France looks so incredibly beautiful and you have a good eye for capturing it.
