Looks like these might be very nice but the posted images are all wrong. New meaning for "mega-pixel"!

The images need to be at 72ppi, try reposting.

 

Cheers,

Henry

You need to post larger images - larger file size that is, not pixels. The ones you've posted range from 40k to 65k and that's just too small. At that size there's a huge amount of compression going on, hence the pixilation and smearing. You should aim at around 150k + for reasonable image quality.

 

Ppi has no meaning on an image viewed in a web browser, it's the number of pixels that matters. An image could be at 1 ppi or 1000 ppi and would display in an identical fashion online.

 

They've put the railings around Morrison's grave since I was last there. I went to see it once and then never bothered again, I always felt there were far better things to photograph in Pere La Chaise :-)

 

I'm off to France myself tomorrow, so expect some from me too :-)

Just back from France - a popular place. M8 all the way (28 f2 cron + 50 lux as the main lenses as I was travelling light) It worked. Shots at From the Sarthe to the Pyrennees - a short journey.

 

Off to Northern Ireland for paid work tomorrow. The M8's the main camera. It's beginning to pay for itself. Life's good and spring's here.

 

Steve - enjoy the break.

 

Best

what program are people using to resize the M8 photoes for attachments for this page?

 

Photoshop.

Bruce, I personally use Lightroom's export, but have also used Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop Elements. All are fine, but it is important not to go too low on the quality slider. I use 75%, IIRC, at 800 pixels for the max dimension, and these images are compact enough for this forum, at least.
