RE: bird pictures

Great job. Can you give the camera type & settings?
If you use Firefox you can go to Tools>Add-on and then type EXIF in the search window to download an EXIF viewing tool. Once installed, you just right click on an image to show the EXIF data. Don's photo showed this data:

Some photo hosting sites like Photobucket automatically strip the EXIF data. If the shooter uses a GPS, you can see where the image was taken. Here's an example:

At the bottom of the EXIF you will see:

RE: Picture posting thread...anyone into it?

Don't remember the last time I posted here, but what the heck...
One of my photography buddies and I decided it was time to head up to North Georgia and see if any of the fall foliage was left. Fortunately he has a cabin up in the woods, so we planned on an overnight trip. We left the wives at home since SOMEONE has to go to work.
The Cabin

Located in the booming metropolitan area of Tate City, the residents are fortunate to have world-class shopping, dining and entertainment at the Tate City Mall.

The new superhighway connects Tate City with North Carolina - just 2 miles up the road.

Alas, Thursday dawned with cloudy skies, so we just shot what we could find.

RE: Have the guidelines changed for

Actually, there is no problem if you use 640 as the max for height and/or width.
Pixel count/file size is no longer a factor?

Have the guidelines changed for

the picture posting restrictions or is it still geared to keep dial-up users with 300 baud modems happy?
