O.K.  I consider myself to be at least moderately computer savvy, however, I have a stupid question.  I transfer all of my pics from my camera to my computer for storage.  Do I have to use Photobucket or can I transfer directly from my computer?  I tried to post a pic of my dog once before with no luck.  Can someone give me a little assistance?

SwoopSJ - Yeah, photobucket is your best bet.  My images posted above were done that way.

Swoop,

You can post directly to the post from your computer, but you are restricted by 200kb in size. When posting direct, click on the 'additional options' at the bottom left of the reply screen. Then click in the 'attach' field and it should pop up a browsing menu from your computer to select your pics.

On photobucket, just open an account (free) and upload your pics to their page. When you want to post a pic, just copy the "img" link for the picture you want, and paste it in your post.

Thanks PegLeg.  I can't remember exactly what the problem was with my previous attempt, but I would assume it was the size restriction.  I'll now be forced to break out the camera, oil up the guns, and hire some midgets for some serious, hardcore gun porn.   ;D

Most of my photos are Motorola RAZR V3m.  However, that one just went in the box, and if I ever figure it out the next will be from a BlackBerry Curve.  If I can't figure the Curve out you will not be seeing photos from me.

P.S.

Leave the cat claws out of this.  I need those to give perspective, but after seeing Marshall without a hat I do believe we need glare control  ;D

The mark of excellence!   ;D

Yeah, the DOF was tight, but shooting wide open at f/1.4 was easier than getting my flash gear
out of the safe.  Like I said, these were just to get it sold (which they did, so...  Mission accomplished.) 

I'd like to think that I'd be able to come up with something more appropriate for 'art' than a
Storm case propped on my couch if I was shooting for art's sake...  I guess that means I have to
now, huh?

Alright, here's one of mine...  I'm a portrait photographer, and I only photographed this rifle to list it on gunbroker, so I wasn't going for high-level art...

Regardless, here you go...







The laundry on the chair in the third shot is a nice touch, I think...    ::)

I'm especially lovin' the Batman camera angle.   ;D ;D ;D

Well, my 50 f/1.4 would allow me to get closer than any other lens I've got, so that shot just worked out.  At the 18 inches or so I was from the barrel, the DOF is about 1/4 inch - couldn't be more perfect for the imprint on the muzzle brake.
