yes as far as I could tell the forum limited me to just over 2MB. The original file I have is 26MB, so even in Flickr it's lost some detail.
I look forward to many more posts on this forum and still can't believe the outreach and support from around the world. thank you.

Ha, yes the DX FX 'discussion' seems like a hot topic. You guys have opened my eyes to look at things I didn't know I should be looking at in terms of pixels and technology. Yes and even the picture to Flickr is compressed from original.
Perhaps I will stick it out with D7100 a little longer and once D900 comes out next year, the D750 a very discounted price might be the way to go.
Until then I will hone my light skills and lens use. This community is awesome, thank you!


That sounds like a good plan. A lot of people talk rubbish about needing this or that equipment to be taken seriously....your portfolio says all that's required.

:thumbs:

Believe it or not I had a double spread in a national mag from a D70 image some years ago. My main camera battery went flat on a shoot and couldnt find the spare. I used my emergency D70 body, for the last half a dozen shots... and the client picked one of them for the publication!!!

o.O

And just an amusing anecdote about a wedding photographer friend. Many people strive for qualifications and justifiably have letters after their name. But it doesn't always make them the best in their field. My friend had the letters ABGP after his name on his stationery. No one questioned him about ABGP for many years...until one day, a curious friend asked him what organisation it was and what it stood for. He explained. " A Bl**dy Good Photographer". He was on the point of retiring by then so didn't mind confessing.

:applause:

Glad your finding your visit rewarding David.

I think your strategy is sound, there is nothing lacking with the image you have posted but what you find is that succeeding camera bodies are a bit better with each release. I went from a D3100 to a D3300 for my family camera and I am very impressed how good it is even in my 12 year old sons hands.

I hope you don't mind me posting your image directly here but it does help illustrate both your topic and demonstrate the ease with which one can post an image from Flicker.

This image is being posted through the forum software just to see what happens.


You don't arf know some stuff, Robert. :bowing:
I may have to get a Flickr account and repost all the last 10 years of my images....to see if you really like them or were just being polite.:lol:

Of course I like them, what's not to like about your pix? Especially those funny/odd black and white ones! :hardhat: :lol:

Gone is the sharpness of the eyelashes and hair.

Hmm. I think I need to look at finding a new gallery software for the forum.
