dammit Tende, he's got pants on

Teeny, where and what is this building?

Pimpy, that is Port Arthur in Tasmania. The penitentiary, with the old hospital in the backgound.

Lots of beautiful photo opportunities there...hope to see some - mine is just a holiday snap.

That's so funny Pimpy because when I was going snap happy, I hoped a pic may come in handy for a challenge and I did say to him that you wouldn't be impressed...

He wouldn't strip off though, the old lady over the back may have had a conniption...

Then again she may have offered some more plant cuttings...

Yes, Polly. It's not a view typically caught by tourists. 

This is an intereseting skyscraper  in NY - the Flatiron building (1902). It is triangular shaped.

My own photos take from ground at narrow end of building doesn't show what it is really like

Photo from the net

We have quite a few historic buildings where I live, when it stops blowing a gale I will get out and take some photos.

I'd like some help understanding the size and clarity of the photos that people upload.

I do understand the medium, large and fullsize options, its not about that - I've regretted medium everytime btw. I think large is best but sometimes ebay seems to do things to the pics?

I guess I want to know how people keep the clarity and have photos that load quickly for everyone.

Do 3mb photos need reducing for faster loading (in consideration of others) ? I look at size that way , pixels are a bit beyond me.

And how best to reduce those photos larger than the 3mb that exceed ebay upload limits? I saw someone mention using paint?
