Camera-info Club (not for a camera-forum)
|
Who should subscribe to the CI-Club? For frequent visitors who can afford it, subscriptions are not optional. They are, however, on the honor system: we trust you to decide for yourself when your access has become frequent enough that you ought to subscribe, and whether you can afford the minimum subscription fee. As a guide, you ought to subscribe if you are visiting the site more often than once per month on the average, and if your disposable income is sufficient for you to purchase photography equipment, film and processing, books and magazines, internet access, etc. In other words, if you have a photography budget at all, and you are visiting any part of Camera-info or its forums regularly, the site should be part of your budget, the same as any other photography expense. Camera-info has a budget too. About 70-80% of it is supported by subscriptions from our members. This support is critical. Our advertising and other revenues don't cover the costs of running the site without the support of subscribers. For whom is this photo gallery & CI-Club? Everybody can upload images in this photo gallery for free and participate in the discussion about images. From the beginner up to the professional. No matter which brandname, both analogue and digital. But this photo gallery is not an online-photo-album, to throw all the photos of your last vacation into it. The purpose of this photo gallery is the discussion about images. Camera-info is a place to meet other photographers. If you want to talk with others about images and learn from each other, this is the place to be!What is the difference between CI-Club and a Club membership of one of our camera-forums? Each camera-forum is an independant community forum with its own registration, own URL (domain name) and own Club-membership. So the CI-Club is something different then a forum club membership i.e. Contax-Club or Medium-Format-Club. Each Club needs its own subscription. Each Club membership gives you special rights for that specific area/forum only.Why do some of the accounts cost money? Besides the free-of charge Guest accounts (test accounts), we offer also fee-based accounts (Bronze, Silver, Gold in the CI-photo gallery). With these higher userlevels you have access to more disk space and more services.The reason why we offer these additional accounts is to finance the whole Camera-info photo portal. Because of the strong growth over the last years and the costs involved, we depend on the financial support of our users. Advertising is not enough nowadays to finance all this. If you visit the photo gallery on a regular basis, you should choose a higher userlevel and support us with that yearly subscription. Go for this into your control panel within the Gallery-Forum The Club levels of Camera-info have nothing to do with the Club-membership in the independant camera-forums (nikoninfo.com, contaxinfo.com etc.) How much does this cost? The photo gallery can be used at no charge with a guest/test account. There are differences in upload limits per day/week, disk space and other services between guest accounts and higher CI-Club levels like Bronze, Silver and Gold members. For more details please check the overview-sheet below. |

Not a new one, but one always worth remembering: OBITUARYOur church was saddened to learn this week of the death of one of our most valued members, Someone Else. Someone's passing creates a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else has been with us for many years and for every one of those years, Someone did far more than a normal person's share of the work. Whenever there was a job to do, a class to teach, or a meeting to attend, one name was on everyone's list, "Let Someone Else do it." Whenever leadership was mentioned, this wonderful person was looked to for inspiration as well as results; "Someone Else can work with that group." It was common knowledge that Someone Else was among the most liberal givers in our church. Whenever there was a financial need, everyone just assumed Someone Else would make up the difference. Someone Else was a wonderful person; sometimes appearing superhuman. Were the truth known, everybody expected too much of Someone Else. Now Someone Else is gone! We wonder what we are going to do. Someone Else left a wonderful example to follow, but who is going to follow it? Who is going to do the things Someone Else did? When you are asked to help, remember -- we can't depend on Someone Else anymore. Author: Anonymous |
