    hi wayne.........i had to ask how to upload photos a while back as well........so i'll attempt to help you out. i use imageshack as an image host. if you want, create an account with them so that your photos are stored in an online album. when you are uploading an image to them, resize it to 800x600 so that your pic doesnt get cropped on the forum here, you can use imageshack to resize instead of a photo editing software, saves time, and after your photo is uploaded to imageshack, there will be a bunch of html codes off to one side, look for the group that says "embed image" and copy the link under one of the "forum" headers. then all you do is paste that link in your post. simple..........i hope

    The best way is to downrez the image yourself because even if you start out with a razor sharp image the downrezing proccess will soften it, so just apply a touch of sharpening and your set.


    To attach and image; click the film strip iconwhen youreply, click "upload or select a file",in the upload file tab on the bottom click browse, find the image you want to upload and select it, and click on the picture in the screen after it's done uploading. Your done.


    Hope this helps,


    John.

    I had an awesome Anna's Hummingbird model for me on Saturday near sundown, great lighting for his many colors. He was perched in a bush at eye level about 6 - 8 feet away, so he was well in range of my 70-200.


    Here are few. I'll post more if folks would like.

    The first is my favorite; the only thing you could improve on is a white background.

    Thanks. Yes... it was very overcast []but I was so lucky to be so close for so long. These photos are only 50% cropped with my 70-200.


    Side note: I have been using ACR for my raw conversions since I purchased my 50D. I mentioned to Canon product specialist at NAB that my 50D had bad noise above iso 400, he said I should use DPP instead of ACR (because DPP knows the 50D sensor better than ACR). I had practically zero noise correction set in DPP and look at my iso 800 result below. Superb details with only a very modest unsharp mask after resize.
