Hello!

[BobBCN]

Just to say hello!

I'm new to digital photography with my Canon 1100D and new to this Forum.
I must say that I have been browsing a few photgraphy forums over the past couple of weeks and I kept coming back here.

Hence my decision to register here rather than anywhere else.

I've also started to retouch some shots with GIMP and here they are ...
Eldest daughter doing her volleyball thing ...

I linked these shots from flickr but I could only link these small images - the larger versions which I had already resized to be less than 800 didn't work. I imagine that this is because of the differences between free/paid account with flickr!!

On the other hand, this image is linked from a website I have.

And it comes out full size!!

And this one from Facebook .....

And it works too!!

Anyway, it's a start.

Cheers

Bob (from Bradford but now living in Barcelona where it is slightly sunnier!)

Hi Dave,
Thanks for replying.
Was I right about the image size issue?

And also (and this really is a newbie question I suppose) is sharpness affected by the use of the lens? I mean, a short lens (50mm) compared to a long lens (300mm) and of course with a static subject, no camera shake and fast shutter speed. In otherwords, is this a physics thing rather than a photographer thing?
