I'm sorry Jim, it's a free hostings server. I guess I don't get much
bandwidth for free. :(
Working on an alternative...

Understood. FWIW, I've been pretty happy with Picasa for hosting
photos. Would be happy to send you a gmail invite if that would help.

Or rather, I would if I had some - right now I don't seem to have any. :-(

I've got lots of gmail invites, if anyone wants one. Or I did at last
check, I'll make sure they are still there.

Yeah, the last time I looked I had quite a few as well, but it seems
they're now randomly assigned.
But also anyone should be able to sign up without an invite.

They look good to me - like Warp, I like the feel of the second photo in
particular. The night photo is interesting, but the light in the windows
is "blooming" a bit too much - I wonder if there's a good way to control
that, though, without making the rest of the photo too dark. Might
almost be best to use exposure bracketing and composite the pictures
together.

Cool idea, I expect to be doing a fair number of the night shots.

IIRC, I've read about some newer cameras that will do an exposure bracket
in a single shot; I know there are some that will also write to dual
formats simultaneously, so you can have raw data and jpeg data; if your
camera does raw captures (which usually does require manual settings IME,
though - which may not work well for your situation), that would give you
a lot more flexibility in fine-tuning the exposure settings as part of
post-processing.

Somehow I have never liked that type of post-processing in photography.
It gives me the feeling that the photo has been faked.
It's a bit like you took an image rendered with povray and then added
some lens flare effect with photoshop and then called it a "povray image".
Yes, part of the image was made with povray, but part of the effect has
been "faked", so it's not a pure povray image. It feels kind of cheating.

A quick googling says the A30 doesn't shoot in RAW format. There might
be a firmware hack somewhere, but it seems this is the main Pentax
camera, and if none of them have RAW capabilities then it isn't likely
this one would either.
I would be surprised if it did not have some way to automatically shoot
bracketed exposures. Google again says it can shoot +-0.3 to +-2
exposures automatically, somewhere in the drive menu options. Even if
you don't composite the images, using that will make it easier to get
the right exposure if you are just clicking off pictures.
