My web photo site allows me to size photos about any way I want. Posted
photos should be kept small; they're for display on computer screens.

I think both have their place. Personally, since I have broadband, I prefer
to view a hi-res version of a photo. My viewer automatically scales the
photo to my screen size, but if I want to zoom in on an area, the extra
resolution can be a big help. As an example, I was viewing Eisboch's lovely
winter photo. I was curious about the vehicle parked on the side of the
house and tried zooming in tight on it to get a better look at it. The
image quickly became pixelated, and I wasn't able to glean much detail. Had
it been posted in its native resolution, I would have been able to get much
more detail when zooming. Also,I appreciate being able to look at the EXIF
data of a photo to get a feel for how it was shot.

On the other hand, a photo site is a great place to view someone's photo
albums or portfolio. Most sites allow a portfolio to broken down into sub
sections that can be organized by subject matter, or whatever the owner
chooses. I've been thinking about signing up on such a site, but don't have
a clue as to how to choose one over another. There's no shortage of them,
that's for sure. Any recommendations for a good site to join to post a
portfolio of photos?

Thanks for the "lovely" winter photo comment, but one small correction.
That ain't a house. That's Mrs.E's horse barn. The picture was taken from
the house.

When we bought this place I drooled over the barn and had all kinds of plans
for custom woodworking workshops and places to keep my "stuff". Fat chance.
Two 1000 lb pets moved in and I am not allowed in there.

I should have known. Silly me. Obviously the only way for you to save
face in this situation is to build a massive state of the art structure to
house your vehicles and suitable environment for your shop projects. Enough
power tools to cause a brownout. And pneumatic lifts, of course. Wouldn't
want to flat spot the tires on the M5, would we?

Sure. If you say so. My comment was intended to introduce a little humor
about the horse hobby, but obviously it was misunderstood. Sorry 'bout
that.

I took his as humor also. I honestly think he was pulling your chain, in a
humorous way.

Richard, I think he was teasing you right back. I read it as a joke,
not a barb.

Your comment was not misunderstood, Richard. I received it just as you
intended. But apparently my reply was misunderstood. Such are the
risks of communicating through typed text, I suppose. My reply was
offered in the same humorous spirit as yours. I've always enjoyed your
tales of Mrs. E. She's always sounded like a real hoot to me.

My point was, given your banishment from the barn, I would personally
be seriously tempted to break ground on my own barn to hold my own
"horses" (the SuperDuty, The General, the M5, and any others that might
come along). Only seems fair to me. And if the money, space, and
inclination was there, you can bet that it would be just as I
described. And that includes the pneumatic lifts. No sense in letting
those tires.get flat spotted. I probably watch too much of the Speed
Channel.

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Obviously the misunderstanding was on my part. Lot's of mental activity the
past couple of days and I am just not in shape for it anymore. :-)

Now, because of you guys and your photography skills, I have to go read the
manual for my camera. I've wanted to learn about photography since I was
young, so I may as well start now that I am old.
