Location: Rego Park, NY, | Okay I'm missing something. I shot these pictures RAW at 10 meg only without Jpegs. I also exported these photos at 640 X 640 to avoid large size for posting. I downloaded the photos to the OFC Social Network. I think that caused my photos to only be about 180 x 93. I tried photobucket and Facebook. They seemed to do the same thing. I tried exporting the file again at the original size and they were still reduced.
What am I doing wrong? |

Using Chrome, at the ning site, I right-clicked the image (Command-whatever for the multi-button mouse impaired), selected "Copy image URL" and pasted that here within the img tags. In Firefox the appropriate selection is "Copy Image Location". No idea what the IE or Safari selections would be, but probably similar. |

I caught an Acousticrat gig here in the UK last year and it was an outstanding night. Paul's lap steel playing was excellent, as were the rest of the band.

I'll post links as soon as I get a chance. Also there's a stock of albums in NJ, so no international shipping needed. Purchase info to follow. |
