I think I would have preferred to see Randy playing rather than signing. What venue and what is your affiliation, if any?

[taygull]

They look like nice snap shots to me. I agree, I'd rather see him doing what he does best....singing.

[johnstoy]

I posted these two PICS right after the concert. There are some singing PICS from the show. The better ones need sorting out trimming.

I am not familiar with preparing PICS for embedding and posting. I have just joined "photobucket".



I live one stop sign away from the venue, Penn's Peak, Jim Thorpe, PA and am a regular patron at their shows.

Any recommendations on posting more PICS from this show?

Yes, look at Dwights post or maybe even a few of mine. You will see what most people want to see.

You should add your gear list to your signature......I would think you'd get tired of typing it in every time you post.

[DwightMcCann]

Actually, both of you guys should put your Gear List into the Gear List thread and link back to it from you .sig with a one post link. That is what I do (along with a horde of others) and whenever you update/edit your gear list post it gets reflected back automatically.

Randy Travis was the first act I shot at the casino almost two years ago. By my current standards my images from that concert are very poor ... soft and oversaturated, but the compositions are not bad. So, I'm anxious to see John's action images.

My first attempt at embedding:D :

[johnstoy]

Thanks taygull,

I'll work on the signature next. I've been copy and pasting my gear list from MS Word.

John, go over to http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=138747, put your gear list in a new reply to that thread. Then click the reply number in the upper right corner ... it is a pound sign and some digits ... that will give you the URL of a single entry link which you can use to cut & paste into your .sig in the UserCP area.

You Randy pictures are as good as mine! :-)

[johnstoy]

Thanks Dwight,

Thanks to you guys...I'm starting to get the knack of things around here. The signature feature is convenient....I hope to get the most out of it...Shortly I'll be using it in all my responses and occasional postings...

John
