Nice exposure and good colours liked the reflection

One of the best things with the 10D is the ability to quickly see if you've got the exposure wrong using the histogram, and then correct and re-take the shot if necessary. I've set the camera so that it automatically displays a thumbnail and histogram after each shot (easily over-ridden by half-pressing the shutter button).

Mark, when I save one of your images to my desktop, it appears to be BMP file. Why is this? It has a file size of 488kb. A JPEG of that size would give a much larger image so we could really see the quality of the image. I really cannot imagine you are uploading images of that size anyway, so perhaps it is just the way XP saves the file

They are uploaded as 40-50Kb jpegs!

If I right-click on a thumbnail and choose Save Picture As (Windows ME) then it does save as a jpeg.

You shouldn't be able to save the full-size image, as the pop-up window should close when you click on it.

Hmmmm.....

This is most odd, I use XP and IE6 when I do as you describe I get a BMP file. As for saving the enlarged version you cannot save that in the same way but a save icon does appear in the top left of the image but it results in a BMP file as I described before.

What happens if you use Netscape or Opera?

Now there is an inteesting thing. I am using Opera 7 at present. The full photos save as jpegs but they don't disappear when you click on them as they do in IE6. They open in a new full page window whilst in IE you get a separate small window.

Also in the add comments section I now have the option to give my name, email address, location and Homepage, which I don't in IE6

It would seem therefore that the software behaves differently with other browsers. I don't have Netscape or any other browser but it would be interesting to see if they also behaved differently

Yes, the images do work like that in Opera - they open in a new browser window rather than popping-up in a new one. I think this is a limitation of the javascript that I am using.

As for the Add Comments section, that seems to indicate to me that you're not logged-in when using Opera to visit PhotographyBLOG. Those extra fields only appear for non-members, or members who are logged out.

Whoops, yes you are right I wasn't logged in, but then what is the point if I can still post messages etc. without logging in?

You don't have to log-in to post a message, but you will have to enter all of your personal info every time you post something.
