Hmmm. I cant find an 'East England' topic anywhere. Either i'm blind or there isnt one.
Mind if i settle in here?

Sounds fair to me. Price of admission though is one nice picture of where you live

Hi there Anke.

I've now caught up. How was the trip to the Faroes?

Hi Lads
Done myself a rather long/lots of pixel panorama made up of 14 shots - I've tried all sorts of reduction but can only it down from 300MB to 1.8MB - you guess - its lost a lot of definition but because of its size it still keeps getting itself rejected by the forum - any ideas or shall I forget the idea?

No, don't downsize it too much.

Forget displaying the picture here (it's likely to be lots wider than 1024px anyhow).

Just post a link to it instead (and then it can be any size you like).

Vant you upload it to a host site, Web,and just give URL

or email it to me I put it on my site and post the URL

OK Pete - thanks - I had come to that conclusion. And it was only 16,000 x 2500 pixels.

File size reduction was simply killing it off.

Thanks MaDProFF - my webspace is all used up for other things and I may need to buy more space. Any idea what max file sizes are emailable?

Yup, that's what I did. Though I did make a "thumbnail" version of it with the long edge at 1024px so I could post the images here as links to the full sized ones.

My full sized images were quite a bit smaller than 1.8MB though, but I was happy to reduce the size so I wasn't scrolling forever

Looking forward to seeing it Ray

A easy way would be to get a http://www.fileden.com account - 1Gb of free storage. I used to use an account there before I got my own webspace.

You could try a hosting site like Imageshack - you can upload it there and post a thumbnail link to it here

email size depends on ISP's, or Hosters, try it, MaD@madproff.co.uk

Thanks All

I might try my Digital vault on the BT site. I'm off out now - being escorted to BlueWater - not allowed to call in at Jessops (spent too much money with them lately) and I won't be taking pictures of babies in prams either - I might just snap a few security guards in compromising poses though.
I will also not be thinking evil or anti-government thoughts in case the 'thought police' get me.

2 shots from last nite, pretty crap in all, as the light was bad, just funny shots,

Shame really the 120-300 certainly focuses a little slower in poorer light

1st. Shot, How not to catch a Ball, hence he dropped it.

2nd shot, a Mate, Title,, "The Ferengis have Landed"

Got to say pretty pleased with this shot though, No Crop aswell, so he was pretty close

Hand held 120-300 @ 132mm f2.8 1/250 1600 ISO wish the focus was a little more on the eye though than the Nose
