-= 70D owners unite! Post up pics and discuss!

Can someone point me to a tutorial or instructions on what size etc for pics and an easy way to upload? From hard drive or from Flickr?

Thanks,

uploading 750-850 pixels across long edge is usually best...
do you have image editing software installed - and if so what?

do you want to know how to post to Flickr - or how to post to POTN from Flickr?

if posting from Flickr - you need to click on 'Share' - and you need to grab the size of BBC code you want.

Got up early today to head out to the river to shoot some birds. When I got there I realized that I left both of my TCs at home. I wasn't very happy... So I just shot with the bare lens on the 70D.

Here are some shots, most of them heavily cropped.

All of them shot with my Sigma 120-300 2.8 OS, all shot at 300mm wide open f/2.8.
I missed the focus a bit in the last shot, it was my fault.

Fantastic work Gabe!

Gabe is gifted.

My editing software is Photogene used on an iPad it is one of the better ones I have used and until I replace my laptop that is what I am stuck with.

Wanted to know how to post from Flickr to POTN I was grabbing the URL, obvs that wasn't working now that I know what I am looking for BBC code I should be able to figure it out. I am assuming it will give me a choice as to the size? If so, when I upload to Flickr from my editing software is it best to leave the size as is and just resize from Flickr? Thanks for your help, I am new to Flickr.

Many including myself use flickr as free backup - so you could upload your full sized images and you have the option of various sizes to share here. I usually go with 850px long

I've passed this old wool shed a few times. The light not ideal today, but decided to take some shots anyway, as don't venture this way often. I walked down a track, and hoped to be able to get all around the building, but there was an electric fence there - and I don't argue with electric fences

Wow !! Thank you. I quite like some of the ones where I've done faux HDR using Lightroom, but really was disappointed with the original shots. So thank you

^^^ I like the last one... would hang that on my wall... thumbs up...

i like the first one next but the pole on the left is a bit distracting...
then the 2nd one...

wide full body buildings with detail can be a pain and hard to capture.. think you did a fine job!

Looks like it worked This was taken this week on a hike with my dogs and friends.

Interesting - my pick as well. I did wonder about taking that pole out, but since I didn't rate the image particularly - decided I wouldn't bother Maybe I'll have a try tomorrow night. Thanks so much for your feedback

Nice ones Rose, indeed the last one is master and timeless
Rose was there a road to the farm it would give you a wider perspective and a leading line to the farm.
Just my 2 cents of thought.
sorry
oh yeah there was.

Thanks Immaculens!

Some beautiful shots on flickr Caroll all with the 70D?

Another set of great photographs from everyone. Several of you inspire me..... I won't lie... there are a few other feelings that crop up there as well.

It is obvious to me that I need to work on my post processing skills as much as I need to work on using my cameras/lenses to their full potential.

@Gabe, Paul: nice birdshots!
@Rose: the last I like the best of the serie..as Richard mentioned including a road would give the photo something extra.
@Journeytort: great capture!
