Hope the delay is OK. As an aside, do YOU use Dropbox? Not very much I should use it more rather than sending files. I'm puzzling over something and wonder if you could, indeed WOULD, send me an item, perhaps a photograph, from your Dropbox account so that I can check out a detail. Here's my H&S poster I made for the my lab. https://www.dropbox.com/s/bl46gz38ai...%20A4.pdf?dl=0 and the first photo I took with my then new EOS M3 https://www.dropbox.com/s/9m28gsdm6t...0copy.JPG?dl=0 They are clear enough. I am puzzled. The images are EXCEPTIONALLY clear! :-) That wasn't what I was testing for, Eric. Can YOU provide me with a Dropbox link too, please? Try https://www.dropbox.com/s/rot11ikzko...-1643.jpg?dl=0 I've downloaded it before final posting and I'm not satisfied with what I see. All the fine detail seems gritty. -- Regards, Eric Stevens It;s a relativley low res image at about 1800x1200 perhaps that's why. doesn't help that it's leaves and riples on water which does make it look gritty. You are right! It's the same here too. I don't know how that happened but it started off as 3414 x 2268. I seem to have messed up somewhere. I'll try again shortly. I'd like to see a 'better' copy should you mange to find one, Eric. It's lovely scenery. Will you disclose where it is? It's on the west side of the north end of the Coromandel Peninsula in New Zealand. The island visible on the horizon is "Little Barrier". So that is East of you in Auckland, and North of my cousin's son, the pathologist in Tauranga (lives in Bethlehem). I really should plan a trip sometime... Please don't wait until after I have died. :-) -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

No but I find it interesting as my first intrests I remmebr were science based, the only reason I brought a SLR was to take pictures of the moon and stars etc... I've always had an interest in electronics and science and technology in general even animal biology and human history than I use to be. Who could not be interested in a newley discovered millipede that is 30mm long 414 pairs of legs and 4 penises !!!!! Haha. :-) You sound just like my younger son! I've also found history interesting more recently than I ever did at school. Me too. I've just been watching the videos you made of your cat sleeping and antics at the cat flap! -- David B. |

The one where you asked when eban could see your comment . I'm uncertain what you mean. My message was quite long and I asked him a question to which I wondered if YOU might know the answer! Why not ask somewhere else as these comment boxes are for comments not questions. It was just a thought that popped into my head one day. A different approach if you like! You don't HAVE to do this. Perhaps I shouldn't have asked - I know next to nothing about YOU! ;-) if you're asking questions in the wrong place then maybe that's why you don't get answers, asking about Raspberry pi and amigas here isn;t the best place. there's pi groups and amega groups try using those. I thought you might have been interested in Eban Upton and his short videos. May I ask what age *YOU* are, Dave? -- ""The important thing is not to stop questioning." - Albert Einstein |

Now they have changed the way they work and I am not atll satisfied with either the way they work or what they seem to do to images. I have one image which I have been trying to post in response to an article by Savageduck in which we were discussing a collection of landscape photographs. All I can manage with Dropbox is coarse fine-detail and obvious color banding in the sky. I know there are various ways in which I can replace Dropbox but it will take me a long time to explore them all. I would be grateful for any suggestions as to the best way I can go about replacing Dropbox. Have you considered picpaste.com? You upload your picture, determine how you want the file to the picture shown (if you want the actual filename shown) determine for how long the picture can remain from a few hours to days, to forever, until you decide to use the second url you should keep to yourself, as it's your delete picture link. You're provided two links. One goes to your picture and the other is a deletion link that you can click to, delete your picture. No login or account required. Oh, and it doesn't use a pile of scripts to render whatever picture you send, either. -- I would like to apologize for not having offended you yet. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. |
