I have 1000's of photos :) I can post a few here!

I like to take lightning photos when I can:



And who doesn't love puppies, especially the Rare Coton de Tulear!

Nice :-)

I love the Coton de Tulear. :)

OK, one more. Took this when I lived in Fairfax VA.

Great photos. Can I make a suggestion Mitchell.

I have a powerful gpu & a large enough monitor to enjoy those photos but I had to scroll down for all of them. Any chance you could reduce their size for here?

I can sure, though the topic says Originals so I was posting originals :) But I will post smaller resolution ones.

---

Originals in the sense, you took them, not a full camera resolution.
I've found it best to do the pixel reduction myself as the board software does some very strange things, and can make high resolution images look pixilated. I aim for a maximum dimension of 1024 pixels for the stuff I post here, this gives a fair compromise for those with poor bandwidth or small screens, while being adequate for those with big screens and lots of bandwidth.

That jungle scene almost looks like a painting.

Can you raft through that stream?

No, but you can walk it. It is all fresh water from an underground spring. The water is so clean and clear that there is no algae in it. You're not allowed to wear sunscreen or any lotions and stuff when you go in it cause that introduces a lot of biological's that can create an environment for algae to grow.

Actually, I was going to ask the same thing. Please try to size your photos so that they will fit in a monitor window.
(I hope that makes sense.) I try to make any pix I post around 8" x 10" (or vice versa) at 72dpi. I think the new
message board format will resize photos to width, but not height (to fit on the screen).

Originals only refers to the fact that you must own the photo. The only exception would
be if a friend or relative takes a photo and gives you permission to post it, but you must
clearly say if that's the case.

I post all mine at 800x600 resolution, that give me max size on a 19" flat screen. But yes they become pixelated if you zoom in too much. What I do is probably very wrong but happy to accept advice

First transfer originals at 55"x41" @ 72dpi to photoshop at 34Mb file size
Next reset to 6"x4" @200dpi
Enhance as needed
Upload to photobucket at 3Mb file size
Resize to 800x600

It's my opinion that there's no reason to post anything over 72dpi, since that is everyone's
screen resolution. Therefore, height and width dimensions would be more important.

If you're worried about destroying your original photo, simply make a copy and edit that.

I like these pix. All of them.

This sort of photo is a dime a dozen, but I still love our fiery sunsets.
