Hi Anthony,

If you go to advanced quick reply, then you can upload the jpeg or whatever to here, I saved the image to web in elements so it is a reduced quality imaged say 15% of the original. Also in the normal reply there is an option to manage attachments and it tells you what file formats you can use. I am on a mac so I don't know if that makes any difference? Good luck.:hay:

Andy

BTW your site looks well good.

[Anthony Smith]

great, thanks Andy. Hopefully, you will see some images appear below this text, ha ha.

Thanks for the comments on my website, cheers. :)

Not sure what order the images will appear.

1 - Ghost Tour - my black and white entry.

2 - New Look - my old and new entry.

3 - Jailhouse Rocker. I spotted this in a shop window, I would never normally have seen this, but i really liked it.

4 - Just for fun. Lee in a Zoom Burst. :)

Anthony,
For the zoom burst shot of Lee, did you have Continuous Auto Focus on? The Dart board look like it's focussed or near focussed at both ends of the zoom, great affect. The few I tried had the focus set to manual so only the start image was focussed.

[Anthony Smith]

No I was on single focus, I started wide, focused, took the shot and zoomed in. The focus was already set at the wide end, so stayed in focus all the way through.
