  • What a variety of subjects you shoot Yair, I am so amazed by what one can find in your country....and I'm very impressed, as well. I also find interesting Roberto's tip on shooting a fish in aquarium ..very useful to me since I really had no idea...I enjoyed my visit in your album

  • Dear Yair, Blue Boxes….This is a super and very unique project of The Jewish National Found! Its so important to have forests in your country, to use the money for restoration the forest! This is so wonderful and great! The twenty-two artists did an excellent job by designing the Blue Boxes. Each box is unique and by viewing your album with excellent photos I can see the messages from the artists! A healthy forest make healthy people! Thank you Yair for the beautiful photo message of the Blue Boxes! Take care and hugs, Joke

  • Sorry Yair but I have to ask...The "Blue" boxes, do they have a significant purpose other than for this lovely art work? What a wonderful idea for raising funds and an opportunity for the artists to be creative.

  • For aquarium pics, just 2 tricks :o) 1. put the end of the lenses in contact with the glass of the tank 2. do not use the flash... This works if you have a fast camera, meaning high-sensitivity... don't think your IXUS is good enough for this, unless you shoot a fish that is not moving, or if you can pan following the fish :o) Ciao! Roberto

  • Ciao Yair,many thanks for your visit at my site and your kind comment. I don't believe that I will publish the same album in two different sites, and I know that my last album was too long, but I have wished, after some years in which I have made album for a lot of parts of my island, to dedicate a big album also to my town! :0) Thank you for your patiece! A very clever idea to attract the attention of the people, with this artistic, amusing box and a very good album, that I am delighted to have seen. Best wished. Simona

  • Yair, once again you have captivated us with an album of your interesting photos. I love collections like this. Tthis is a great idea for a great cause. Thanks for the detailed descriptions at the beginning so we would have a better appreciation of the whole project. It is always so interesting to see how different artists can take one item and one theme and go so many different ways with it. Carol

  • There you go again Yair, Another album of interest, your City have these themed ideas, and always displaying objects of real interest. Ours seem to pay thousands of pounds for an assortment of various materials into ridiculous objects that look like nothing on Earth. Good stuff, and I enjoyed it Take care and good luck Ken

  • So you've been uploading too! :o) any improvement in speed compared to Fotki? when I uploaded my latest album, most of the time seemed to be spent waiting for the server to acknowledge the creation of the resized pics on the WS' side. 2K new views yesterday, new album going slow. What are these blue boxes anyway? :o) As usual, you are an innovator in creating different albums! Ciao! Roberto
