Re: Can Anyone give me some pointers
Small children tend to be scared of me, so I don't photograph them much... :-) -Mat I am scared of them so I try not to photograph them. I will look into the pointers you gave me tomorrow after my grandpa's funeral. Thank all of you for responding sandy

Sandra - If you're just looking for some way to generate a gallery to upload to the web you might look into "Porta" http://www.stegmann.dk/mikkel/porta/ It's a free, down loadable, small program that will take a folder of jpeg or tiff files and create the correct files to upload. It automatically resizes the picture files to the right size for thumbnails and viewing. One example of what it does is here - http://home.earthlink.net/~allaround6/imperial/index.html -P On 2 Nov 2005 at 15:11, Sandra Moore wrote: Sorry it took so long to respond...

It's much better now than it was but the best fix for your page is simple: don't resize original images using HTML image resize tags. What you need to do is to create a small image (quick to DL) for your page and if you would like to give viewer the opportunity to view the image in a larger format then you can make that small image into a 'clickable' hot-link which calls on the full sized image file, not ideal but a good interim solution. As your page currently is you have full res image files being down-loaded in full then displayed on the page in a tiny little window. So instead of: http://www.rubicongirls.com/big-eyed-sami-may-1- 2005.jpg" border=0 > Use: http://www.rubicongirls.com/big-eyed-sami-may-1-2005.jpg";>http://www.rubicongirls.com/big-eyed-sami-may-1-2005_thumb.jpg"; BORDER=0> Where the image "big-eyed-sami-may-1-2005_thumb.jpg" is a second copy of the original file resized to 232 x 174 pixels. I hope this helps.

Re: Can Anyone give me some pointers
I have a Visual book simply titled, HTML. It was published by IDG Books Worldwide, Inc. in 2000. It rather simply tells how to do the common things in HTML. You can use it both as a tutorial, and as a reference. It is quite a handy book to have near the computer desk. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" --- Sandra Moore wrote: Sorry it took so long to respond...

Re: Can Anyone give me some pointers
My only comment is that the colorful background/props tend to distract from the real subject, the people. Not sure how I would minimize them. Small children tend to be scared of me, so I don't photograph them much... :-) -Mat On 10/31/05, Sandra Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I think the background is way to cluttered.

Re: Can Anyone give me some pointers
Sandra, the reason your page is so big is that you are using the wrong file-type for your images. Download Irfan view, and then save each image as a JPEG. They will be a fraction of the present size. Use a compression ratio of around 75%. www.irfanview.com It's free. For web page editors, look here: http://www.thefreecountry.com/webmaster/htmleditors.shtml 1st Page 2000 is OK. http://www.evrsoft.com/ John On Wed, 02 Nov 2005 15:11:07 -, Sandra Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Sorry it took so long to respond...

Re: Can Anyone give me some pointers
Sandra, They're all beautiful! No way they could take a bad photo. The subject's interaction is all important in these types of shots, making the background "clutter" irrelevant. Posed "studio" set-ups normally require a cleaner background in the interest of undistracted subject focus by the viewer.

Re: Can Anyone give me some pointers
They're fun family snaps, but you're right: the background is too busy. One pot of flowers in the lower foreground would be fine perhaps, although it depends on the rest of the scene. Trust your eye to create a balanced and pleasing scene. Non photographers will generally try to pack the picture with everything that strikes their fancy. It makes for an unhappy stew. Take charge, young lady! Paul On Oct 31, 2005, at 3:42 AM, Sandra Moore wrote: I think the background is way to cluttered.
