[Photos] Bulgaria photopack

    Wohoo, at last. It took some time - had problems with the cam and the hosting - but it's up now.

    What's this?

    This is a photopack in .tar.bz2 format (every decent extractor such as WinRar will do it), with 650MB or 259 high quality JPEG photos made in Bulgaria (Sofia, Varna, Targovishte, Goljamo Drjanovo), taken with a Sony DSC-W50. Here are some examples:

    Cool, what about licensing?

    Since I'm a fanatic, there'll be three possible licenses. Either the GPL v2.0 or newer and/or CC-by-SA 3.0 or (and only or - tribute to <3 hessi)

    Ok, where can I download this?

    Nice one

    Should get a torrent going too, if possible.

    *edit - to anyone who opens this and then wonders why winrar doesn't appear instantly, give it a while. I'm running a dual core and it still took something like 30 seconds for Winrar to appear and give me any kind of progress update (usually opens instantly for me).

    Downloading...

    Thanks a lot - I'm making a photo pack from Poland so I will see how you have did that and make sth similiar Can I copy your licence text to my readme file?

    After looking at all the pics, I deleted many of them simply since I couldn't see myself using them (as in making textures with them). If you guys have more architectural ref pics, then those would be even more appreciated by yours truly

    Still, many thanks for sharing this

    Sure (will you actually license your stuff on (a) free license(s), too? :S)

    Yep, exactly like you did but my english sux so I had a problem to make my licence in understanding words

    quoted for truth. i really appreciate that you have put some time into making photos and sharing them with us, but in my opinion you need to learn how to make references people will actually be able to use. for example you got lots of nice ground textures but it seems like you made photos with a strong zoom or were too close. 4 brick stones are not enough to make a texture. sometimes images are unsharp because you used some kind of automatic mode while running in low iso values.

    in any way: you are still very young and got still got lots of time to become better thanks for the share!

    It's probably because I'm a little shivery, I dont have a tripod (well, I won't need a tripod for ground pics anyway^^) and also because of my camera. I can't adjust the ISO values on my DSC-W50

    I indeed didn't choose very good angles and distances - need some practice ^^
