Frost and Soho

Austin Image 19

Another image of the Frost Building towering over 6th Street and looking more owl like than ever.

Does anyone else have a problem adding blogs to their blog watch? I must be doing something wrong. I add a blog, it says it's added, and the next time I go to my blog watch it isn't there. Since I access Aminus from three different computers I'm wondering if this problem is related to different cookies on the different computers? Is there a way to set this feature so that the same blog watch list is accessed from different computers?

Wonderful colors and composition. The top part of the image could almost be a separate dramatic photo. I like this very much.

this is gorgeous john! i have been waiting for this! wahoo! glorious composition -- the night and the lights really make this an eye popper! bravo!

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks. I took a bunch of shots trying to balance myself, brace the camera to reduce blur, and get the composition I wanted.

I would ask this in the Am3 forum. All I know is that there's an upper limit of bookmarks you can set. Does your new added blog appear in the list of links above the list of thumbnails?
Awesome shot, btw. The light setting is amazing, summer nights must be joyful there!

@MadScientist: Thanks. Question answered. The one thing that often interferes with pleasant summer nights is the humidity. It's not as bad in Austin as it is around where I live though, when in the summer time, even at midnight, it can be 85-90 degrees outside with 100% humidity.

I had the same problem today and logged out of my account (twice!!) and finally when I logged in everything was back to normal. Don't know what happened, even the list of people who added my blog to their watch, isn't complete.
Great colours in this picture and a really impressive building in the background, it really looks like an owl or hawk when you take a good look at it ;)

@Monique: Thanks. I think I understand the problem now.

unless you pay aminus3 money for "A+" membership (which I don't) you can't add more than 30 blogs to your watchlist.

nice shot! it looks even more like an owl in this one. i like the contrast between the important-looking building and the chuggin monkey sign

@danthro: Well, I intend to pay up for the A+ membership, I really do, but I'm a major procrastinator, and often worse on the simplest things.

JoeB from Brampton, Canada

The owl is keeping an eye on the rowdy monkeys. I have 26 blogs and check from home and work, from what Danthro says 30 is the limit.

I noticed a similar thing before with the my blog watch... names are all on the list, but people I had already seen posted that day weren't showing up in the thumbnails... seems OK recently though.

I do like the building behind, but for me the classic American shop-fronts in the foreground look really nice... what's Chuggin Monkey??

@Daryl: It's a bar. Now that I understand the problem I've trimmed my blog watch until I get around to upgrading my membership.
