==========================================================

This is a flickr group for the myLensDB.com readership

Welcome and thanks for being part of our growing community. We are the people who are passionate about taking good photos and sharing them around discussing what's more improvement can be done from there. 

Of course, through skills and techniques, the kind of tools we use do make a difference in what we can achieve with it. Thus, we hope that myLensDB is making a little contribution to the photography community helping each other in pursuit of finding their own best line up.

We are excited to have you onboard. The myLensDB indexing system would index this Flickr group and adds photos into the database from time to time but make sure that you understand the policy on how our crawler works first.

Some of the very basic rules
======================
Your photo must be &lt;strong&gt;tagged&lt;/strong&gt; properly.That is how we can identify what equipment is used and we can match it with the correct lens or body. Sometimes, we do look at the EXIF data just to double confirm.

Optional but &lt;strong&gt;EXIF&lt;/strong&gt; would be nice. As we are running this project, we hope that all of us can learn more through sharing of photos. Show off your work to the world and by attaching EXIF data to your photos, we would be able to learn better together.

Photo size. A photo must be at least &lt;strong&gt;0.7 megapixels&lt;/strong&gt; in size. Anything lower than that would be practically useless to be used as a sample photo. The bigger the better!

&lt;strong&gt;Watermarking, framing and excessive post-processing&lt;/strong&gt;. This may “spoil” the photos if done excessively. After all, we only want to show what’s as genuine as possibly taken by a particular lens or equipment. Therefore, we do not normally prefer to list any photo that “scores” in these departments.

&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; There is no guarantee that photos that you have added in here would be picked up by our indexing program.

&lt;p&gt;I've seen a bunch of my photos at your site. I think you do good work. Keep it up. It's nice to see what kind of photos each lens takes.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Hey CW Estes,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First of all, sorry for the extremely slow reply,.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, about the tag and SOOC. This is actually a very good suggestion but we will need to refine the automatic crawler and add in some new search algorithms in making things work out. Definitely something we will look into in the future!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thirdly, thanks for your generous support and participation in this project!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks alot!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;Shhhhh... we are actually growing bigger and better everyday!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are now test driving a new forum platform at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mylensdb.com/discuss&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;www.mylensdb.com/discuss&lt;/a&gt; now. Well, it's still a beta stage but we are very eager to see if a forum model fits our project or not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Join us and keep the shutter clicking!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;p&gt;I would like to suggest a secondary tag for photos.  You've picked up some of my photos that have had post-processing done to them.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seems you want only SOOC.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
