thank you for your support. I downloaded Drop box. I put my files on there and I still can't email them. They get rejected on account of there size. What am I doing wrong?

I recently took a series of photos to submit to a potential client as a portfolio sample for an up coming gig. When I tried to email them to the prospective client, my server kicked back the email stating, "DID NOT DELIVER." As I inquired I found the my images had too many megapixels. The only way I was able to submit the photos was to email them one at a time. Needless to say, I doubt if I'll get the contract. My question is this. To avoid this situation from happening again, Is there any way I can shrink down the images and what can I do to keep this from happening again?

I personally prefer sling type straps because neck straps are too uncomfortable and they make me look like a tourist.

lol

I can think of one of two reasons. It might be cross threaded. Look at it closely. If such be the case attach it to your lens and press down on a hard surface until it snaps into place. Or maybe some dust got in there and jammed it. If that happened squirt some WD-40 on it and that should loosen it.

Here are some shots I took along the back roads of Roswell, NM (Sorry no space aliens).

I had some fun with the macro feature on my Tamron 70-300mm lens

With mono-pods, if you're shooting, let's say a rock concert or a sporting event you might not be allowed to take your mono-pod into the event because it might be misconstrued as a weapon. So if such a situation might present itself, here's what I do. I take one of those light weight basic tripods. I tie it up with bunji chord and extend only one of the legs. This way you can shoot your event without any problems.

I confess. I did that once. Here's how to fix it. Soak some Coca-Cola on a cotton swab and run it over the battery connections. that will clean them off.

I too like to take rustic pictures. Here are a few:

A masterpiece of cinematography! Great music score!

My doctors has beautiful photos on the walls of his office. He told me that he used Shutterfly. When I asked him about his camera he told me he only used a simple point-and-shoot. I've been using Shutterfly ever since.
