I love the detail that the camera gets, especially with the machining and fabrication that I do and/or photograph at shows---I'm not up there with Steve Reyes and those guys but I have been at lots of races and photo shoots where I learned things from them---but I will not stand on the top of a 12 foot ladder and hold an Hasselblad upside down above my head to get the ANGLE
Jerry, I don't want to hijack this thread for this, but in the interest of answering your concerns....Believe me when I say that I understand images and photography and not wanting to degrade the quality to put them on the net. That said, I shoot raw only, so I resize most anything that I put on the internet for various reasons. 1. To upload large files on the internet takes time. 2. I don't want my full size images on the net for people to take. 3. Smaller images are easier to send in mail, messaging, etc, etc....My workflow for photos is this: 1. Take a number of pictures. 2. Take my SD card and upload all pics to my laptop. 3. Using Adobe Lightroom, I choose the images I feel best represent an event and my talent. 4. Do any post processing necessary. 5. Export the images at 1200 x 1200 maximum (for internet purposes) at full quality, though 75% is usually still pretty good and lowers the size a lot. 6. Upload the images to wherever. 7. If someone I know wants a high res image, then I will send them one. Keep in mind, that this is a typical workflow for anyone dealing with the internet. Big images take time to upload, time to download, reduce page speeds, take a lot of space on servers (a lot of places will process big images down to something manageable, but it can affect quality). Keep in mind too that my old 20d camera takes really sharp and detailed pictures, though I can't blow them up as much as I can with my 5dII, which is less great for printing large pictures, but for the internet the 20d is more than adequate....Point being, I think it's better to process the images to optimize for the net as I think your results will be better.


Bob, by the way, I showed my wife Sherrie your trailer and she really loves it!
