You can let her post links to pages in your gallery - they will look like this when posted on Facebook:

(I did not follow through and hit the post button, just did this to show you what it looks like).

Notice there's a little preview of the image, but when you click on it, you'll be taken to YOUR website. This is totally different to screengrabbing your images and actually posting them herself.

It's extremely common to post links to things you like on Facebook. It's kind of her to ask but really if you post images on the internet people are within their rights to post links to them. It's what the internetz is all about really. It's clearly to your benefit in this case since it will generate traffic to your own site.

You are not 'waiving the rights' to anything, the images remain on your website and belong to you, you're simply letting someone tell other people about your work and sharing a link to your stuff. Nothing to be the slightest bit hesitant about.

They are just overcropped IMO. I don't think you can crop to near 1:1 and expect to have acceptable results - there's a point where you just have to accept that the subject is too small in the frame. For me that's at about a 50% crop.

I don't actually mind the selective colour here! It highlights the fresh leaves which otherwise might have been lost against the bare wood.

There are plenty of wildlife togs who shoot Canon, despite Canon offering FF cameras.

You can always crop a FF image to get an APSC equivalent image too...

Heh, I've had spells of one or two years where I've barely taken a shot. Then something will trigger my interest and BAM I'm right back into it. I don't see anything wrong with that, personally

I can understand the idea behind setting new photo challenges, but if it starts to feel like 'homework', your photographic mojo might retreat even further ;P

Put the camera properly away for a bit. Enjoy other stuff. You'll come back to it. Or hire a model! ;-P

Lovely stuff. 2 9 and 14 especially.

Some people are just hell-bent on finding something to moan about... I mean, come on - the name's fine and who cares anyway!

I think the K7 appeals to the slightly 'hair shirt' mentality of some Pentaxians, and especially those who like 'working around' issues like shadow noise and limited dynamic range

Nail the exposure and images are great. But the later cameras are a revelation in terms of how exposures can be tweaked in PP without paying a price in noise.

The K7/5/5ii body design appealed to me initially as it looks quite refined and compact. But to be honest I am so 'over' those little cramped knobs and buttons - prefer the K10 layout with larger more spaced out controls, or the cleaner, more menu driven interface of the K30. And the metal body looks really nice and is durable, but your fingers freeze to it in winter!

Excellent set, I love two and three in particular. Superb weather for landscape shots!
