We are always trying to save money and I have found a useful link which might help. I use sweet wrappers as filters and some of those have worked well. I have also made my own reflector using KitKat foil fixed to a cardbaord.

I hope this link helps, anyone else have any thrifty money saving tips?

I took a picture of a man who used to play the banjo in Salisbury every Saturday and Tuesday. I won't be seeing him for a long time, as he died of Lukemia a few weeks after my shot was taken. See if I can find it and put it on here.

Hi, many thanks for your kind comments. No they were all handheld at either iso 400 or 800.

That's brillient! I don't think that could be done with my lens which is a 18-55 Dal, perhaps I should invest in a 50-200mm DAL?

When you say the thumbnail are small - do you mean in Picasa

Yes. I have created a new folder and I am re copying which seems to do the trick, for now. I know about the slider but I don't think that solves the problem of the pixle's. It's 16.1mg on my camera.

Restore the images out of the recycle bin before you lose them! They will go back to the original file they were in.

If it were me - this is what I would do

Once restored - rename the file they are in (left click on file folder - then right click - select rename - type in new name - return. then there is no confusion between these and what you have in Picasa and these will not duplicate automatically).

Now - the folder you have in Picasa with the changes you have made to the images -if you are happy with these - keep them - otherwise - delete and start again by importing the originals from the new folder - and remember - when exportimg to google+ or 'sharing' select the size you want the images saved online as.

If any of that does not make sense - let me know

Ok I have tried killing off the folder in Picasa and restored the pictures, but some of the thumbnails are still persistantly small. I will work on each file indiviually in Picasa, should I just get rid of the smaller files and 'save as' again from Google +?

It duplicates files (makes four copies) but I couldn't enlarge them if I wanted to, which is a pain.

There is a programme called http://fotoflexer.com/ is that as good as Picasa please?

I ave the original images in the recycle bin. Just wondering if i should dump the folder on Picsa and restore the whole lot again? I ave backed em up on Google +

Is this a gud idea?

Hi sorry to be rude but I notice there is a lot of trolling on Talk photography forum, that's why I don't go onto that forum any more.

Just got to cut through that. Its an excellent resource

Yes it is I totally agree, but it's just being ruined by the nasty individuals that get on there just to post horrible unprevoked comments at other genuine photographers. The moderator says he is going to kick people off, bout time this problem was sorted out.
