At the moment, for viewing on the computer or posting to my Flickr page I generally resize photos to 800x600, 100% quality, and sharpen them slightly. The free program IrfanView does a good job for these purposes. For more complex editing I use Photoshop Elements. This picture of the Parliament Buildings was taken a few days ago. The uploaded size is 800x600.

Since this is a test blog, and I haven't spent much time working on it, I haven't yet mastered the wrapping of text and pictures. Ah well...

Sharing News and Photos

Instead of sending a newsletter to friends, it's possible to set up a free blog, write news and attach photos. Then all you have to do is to send your friends the URL of the blog. If they click on the photo, they will see a larger version. Here's a picture taken in Manotick yesterday. It looks as if these old buses never die!
