I'm still surprised that none of you guys are in on the new MySpace thing. If you haven't checked out the preview yet, got to

It seems like it could end up being pretty cool for photographers, clean hi-res photos. Tools and setting are a little wonky still, but it's a million times better than the old one and photos look WAY better than Facebook, Max res is 1920x1280 I think. I have my page setup, but can't share with anyone unless they've been invited to the beta.

It's looking really good. I think I'd want to open one up so I could forward friends and family that want to look at my photos there rather than my Flickr account.

The flow of viewing looks really good.

Something I took about a year befor the 60D. Just found in the archives and tought I'd throw it up. Taken with a SX30 I won as a sales spiff. It was all down hill after that.

I think I haven't shot anything for at least two weeks now... I need to get back on it!

I guess I just figured that MySpace would just slowly fade away. Never had an account with them but it seemed like most every MySpace page I ever opened took forever to load and was an assault on the eyes. So I thought I'd better see if this new version was any more appealing.

So I clicked the link and, surprise! It says my current browser (IE8) is not supported. But they do provide links on the same page to download Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Already have Firefox so I opened that and was then able to view the new MySpace opening page. The background image is a full screen view of an LP spinning on a turntable, animated. And the animation is kind of choppy. Guess my DSL connection isn't up to snuff.

There's some text on the page explaining the planned changes but it's overlaid on the turntable image and really isn't as easy to read as it should be. And the first thing that comes to mind is, "This is the exact reason why lookng at most MySpace pages in the past gave me a headache."

I suppose the appeal of the place was the fact that you could decorate your page any way you wanted with seemigly no restraints. But all too often that also meant that no consideration was given to legibility and readable fonts. Or the eyestrain caused by a full page of tiled images, animated GIFs, and bright yellow backgrounds with orange text overlaid on it. My old eyebones could only take so much of that.

When it gets thru beta, and if you put together your own page, be sure to post a link for us. I'd be curious to see if it (and other folks pages) really are an improvement over the "old" MySpace.

Old MySpace ..can die in a fire. I'll wait for reviews for the new one. LOL

^^^What Vix said. I hadn't even heard about the new myspace... it has just become a joke these days. With that said, hopefully it is much improved and does give photogs another option for photo sharing.

Cut out from the party picture. Again with the diffuser.

^now that looks great!

looks damn good, see it makes a great event lens! It's my go to combo when I go shooting for cars / events!

Yea I returned it cuz i wasnt ready to spend that much money on a lens.. Even tho the 17-55 2.8 canon was about little over 1000 new.. But maybe my next lens might be the 16-35..I have seen pics from that lens on full frame and its soooo wide
