Finally I get to shoot twicw lol

I get to actually shoot today
for hopefully money lol

Im starting a dist meet here
we dont run till 2
so I can shoot the field events till then with my 40D
then I pull out my .357 and shoot the running finals
Im the starter for the meet

beats the snit outta teaching the criminals all day

I'm curious to see if many, if any, understand what you were saying here. But you sound excited for it! Congratulations, I guess?

He gets to shoot twice today, one is shooting his .357 in a gun competition district (dist) meet that starts at 2, which means until then he can "shoot" with his 40D for all the events that he is not participating in.

My interpretation is that he's taking pictures at a district track & field event and then firing a starting pistol at the 2:00 race.

Okay, I'll be blunt: What the heck is "twicw lol"?

I think that is the way kids type these days. I don't understand any of his posts either.

I am a USATF certified master track and field official. Which means I basically pay dues to an organization. I do contract out my services to schools, colleges, and USOC to work at track meets. This is the week of high school district track meets in Texas. I am the starter and referee at 2 district meets this week and it gave me a chance to shoot the meet and shoot some pics.

C and C always welcome
Ok are they small because I crop them?
Prob so
How do I get shots without cropping?
I can only be in certain places and I dont have a 300 or 400 lens

they are clearer on my FB page

As far is picture quality, what website/host are you using for your photos?

Most image hosts, especially non-photography tailored ones, sacrifice image quality for small file size. All have size restrictions in both pixel width/length and file size, some smaller than others. If your photo is above this, the site will use it's own algorithms to resize and compress the image, which usually results in quality degradation. This is why I use flickr and photobucket, since restrictions aren't crazy low, and the resizing is good quality, plus their services are free. I'm sure there are several others out there that photographers recommend.

But it's always best to re-size before uploading to the site, so it's always good to know the restriction so you can re-size below it. I don't know your workflow, but Lightroom's export option makes this super easy. For web, I'll usually set it to 2500 pixels (since flickr offers several sizes to post on a forum) on the longest edge, and 72ppi for display-only images.
