I right click on a link and choose "save target as" Where do I save it? Say I compose an e-mail and I want to send the link to someone how do I go about it?
Thanks a lot

"save target as" will save the object the link is pointing to wherever you want to put it - a file dialog box opens so you can tell it where to go. If the link is pointing to a picture the "target" picture will be saved; if pointing to another web page the web page will be saved.
If you want to email a link to someone you should right-click and select "copy link address" or "copy URL" (browsers vary in their terminology) which puts the link in your clipboard. Then compose your email and use Ctrl-v (the Ctrl key and v pressed at the same time) to insert the clipboard contents at the insertion point.

Just wondering if anyone out there uses or has used the micro SD cards in the full sized adapter for photography. I have a nice 64GB micro SD card that I'd like to use so I can directly load them onto my Samsung Galaxy Tab S. Are there any drawbacks or limitations to using the micro SD cards such as image quality or slowness, etc.? Thanks.
Don't mess around with transferring the microSD between cameras and your Galaxy Tab. Search Amazon for "OTG Samsung Galaxy Tab S" and buy either the iKross or kwmobile OTG adapter.
OTG is an acronym for "On the Go". It's not just an adapter, but has some chips that allow Samsung phones and tablets to see and understand whatever USB device is plugged in.
So I suggest you use your standard SD cards and plug them into an OTG card reader to view and/or transfer to the tablet.
I've used OTG cables for my Samsung phone and tablet since 2012 - they work great. For details and pics see: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-59838-5.html#1002177 (and page 6 of that thread for more pics)

50 mm is not wide angle, and on a DX camera that is the equivalent of a 75 mm FX lens...not real wide at all...
I would say you need to get down below 20 mm to really be approaching wide angle....
I have an ultra wide Tokina 11-16 mm zoom and that is wide on a DX even, equates to a 16-24mm FX lens.

I too have a Tokina 11-16 on my D5300 - great lens.

I don't use Picasa for the very reason that some like it. It wants to take over all of the images on my computer which I have organized in folders, my own organization system. I have ALL of my images on my computer and a backup HD that is an image of the first.
Not quite sure what you mean by a "take over".
Picasa does default to presenting the cataloged folders in a flat view i.e. photo-containing folders in chronological order in the left frame without regard to drive location or higher level containing folders. However, by clicking on the 4th button from the left on the button bar you can view the folders in the classic tree structure. Years ago when I started using Picasa the flat view was a bit of a shock.
You can also go into Tools|Folder Manager to tell Picasa exactly which folders to include or exclude from the catalog.
You have full control of what's in the catalog and the order in which the folders are viewed.
Flat folder structure 3rd button - tree structure 4th button

I'm curious - what features are you missing in 5?

Just wait until you start getting advice from your grandchildren! :lol:

Three quick answers:
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No
(But I would be interested to hear what someone with a yes to #3 has to say.)

Very, very nice. Such a serene, thoughtful expression. Also love the way the background colors work with the fur color. :thumbup: :thumbup:

I purchased this lens about a month ago, and when I received it I was shocked to see it was made in China. I thought all Tamron lenses were made in Japan. At any rate, I decided to give it a try, and to my delight it is not too bad.
I have taken a few shots and posted them, and would like your opinions on IQ, and any other hoggers that have them, and their opinions. These images are straight out of camera. Canon 60D.
And of course, I had to throw one in there of my cat, Clyde.

Hard to evaluate without at least being able to download a larger .jpg. The compression artifacts are masking image sharpness.

I made this PowerPoint of my favorite photos when I was home in NE when my Father died in 2011.
I'm sorry about your father - mine passed away this summer.
You have some very nice photos in the presentation. I particularly liked Ferry Dockinig, Port Angeles Mountains (wide format one), and the Weird, Bent and Lone Trees. (The Lone Tree shot looks like it should have a level horizon though.)
On a much less important point - I find the the wide blue-purple frames pretty distracting. Scrolling down through the pictures my eyes want to lock on those big frames and I have to force them into the photos.
I think large frames (in relation to the photos) can work on prints you hang on the wall, but on screen they really jump out at you. Their impact would be less jarring if the color was customized to each picture.
Frames aside - I really enjoyed seeing your photos. :thumbup:

What can I do about the man's head? Decreasing exposure isn't helping.
You can't really do anything with blownout areas by just adjusting sliders.
If you simply can't live with the white dome try selecting the blownout area and using a clone stamp tool to copy forehead areas into the blowout. (And if you get that to turn out OK you will probably think you have move on to the blowouts on the womens' hair on either side of the man :lol: )
