Barbara,

As much as you like doing photos you should invest in a decent camera and flash and go for it. I have seen your work!

I am having a good time with the new dSLR....course we have 6 dogs around the house while our daughter is living with us. There are lots of photo ops....

If you are interested in any of my photos for engraving samples I would be happy to send them to you.

I can post some on my photo website if you like...

That is a nice photo. I engraved this one for a customer, it's a classic

Mikey,

We're not going to make a burning issue of file sizes, but if you convert the largest dimension of your photo to 7 inches, at 72 dpi, not only will the file size come down considerably, but the image will be viewable on people's monitors, without them having to scroll, to see the entire image.

Love the pic. :-)

Sorry, when I looked at it after I posted it to see how it came out about 1/3 of the screen on my laptop so I assumed it was fine.

Do most people know how to set the automatic image resizing? Right click on Explorer-properties-advanced-scroll to multimedia and make sure the automatic image resizing box is checked.

It's OK. You thought the size was fine.

Some people either don't know how to resize an image or forget to.

Good Job!!

The customer allowed me to use it as a display so I have a 12 inch, 6 inch and a 4x6 mounted on a 6x8 piece of tan granite

Well, you did a fantastic job. Display it proudly.
Having it mounted onto a piece of granite is a great idea. It give the customer ideas.
Have a great spring season,
Barbara
