DSLR Shots and Discussions

Also made another tweak to the S2000 shot which looks a little better, imo. Let me know what you think...

I don't know why, but Picasa is killing me on quality. They used to let me post higher quality images.

Steve, try the GIMP software until you decide on what you want to purchase. Its free and you can do a lot of stuff in it. The photo editing program is called Gimp and they also have a drawing program called Inkscape. Pretty damn good for free.

Looks good. The car just gets a bit lost against the red brick, but overall nice shot.

I have CS5. I was just saying Picasa doesn't let me link high quality images like it used to. I can host them and people can download the original size, but if I link the image and scale it they degrade quality a bit.

Not free, but smugmug has unlimited photo uploads and the photo's look a lot better. I think the least expensive is around $5 a month/$40 a year($3 a month).

Thanks for the recommendation. I started a free trial... looks good.

Much nicer quality!

The Fontana Dam down stream some. Using the 18-135 lens that came with my 60D.

WOW, I should try smugmug. I use Photobucket, only because Ive had it FOREVER.
