OKAY. Here's the story. This is a student organized and performed rock concert at Xian International Studies University, China. The kids planned this event for eight months, brought in pro stage, sound, lighting equipment, special effects, etc. T-shirts printed for audience, Glow sticks for the crowd. After I had taken a card full of pictures (Dwight, take note)... a young man named Napster (Most of the students in the school adopt "English" names) begged me to let him download my pictures onto his computer, which was only steps away from the venue, and to then be allowed to shoot with my camera. Most of these images are, thus, his, with only a little direction from me. The bands are all student bands. They were very well practiced, and kept the crowd excited for over two hours. I still haven't seen the pics I took. He has promised me a disc this week. I wish I could describe to you the excitement in him as he used what he called his first "real" camera.

Well, sign him up! Great job. I am going to have to retire from this business if he ever comes to the USA, sigh. Love that first image. Is that green flag a reflection? [I did notice that you said you filled your CF card.]

The green is a laser projection through the smoke generated by a smoke machine. They really did a first-rate job of stage production. Napster will be thrilled by your favorable response (btw, he filled the card again).;)
I have a rookie question: I intended to post a few more images, but was limited by the program to only these two. Having seen other posts with more images, I'm not sure how this was done.
Enjoy!

Interesting about the laser projection. As for the number of images, in the past if you "attached" images you were limited to two. This is the process in which you "manage images" and "upload" them to POTN. Yours do not say that they are attached which suggests they are "embedded links" that load the images with your text but from your own server, which is generally done using the yellow/brown mountains icon that is under the "undo" arrow in the menu bar and pasting an image URL. I have not previously encountered a limit to the number of images that can be embedded using this method but I haven't posted anything new for a couple of weeks and a new "feature" may have been implemented. I will be posting three new concerts by the weekend (images in my pipeline) and will know then.
