This time it's Russell with an evening excursion to Rhyffedd Coed for the switching on of the floodlighting of the waterfalls and ravine.
Excellent picture - very atmospheric !
Please can I ask how you manage to get the image size below 300 KB - I was wanting to post a picture of the results of my "slate glueing" but the image size from the camera is far too big.
I'm afraid my technical skills in IT are even worse than my (developing) modelling skills !
Thanks

Many thanks for your kind compliment Bob. Assuming you can open your images with Microsoft Photo Editor, first choose from the toolbar menu <file> <save as> and save under a different name (give the image a suffix 'a' or something; this ensures the integrity of the original image because you'll be working on the copy). Then from the toolbar choose <image> <resize>. A new menu will open giving a choice of percentages. The height & width proportions are generally locked so if you choose, say, 20% or 25%, (these are the ones I normally use) the image should reduce accordingly. If you're not happy with the amount of reduction then delete the copy and repeat, using a different percentage (don't try further changes as the image degrades significantly). I would make a warning that I BELIEVE more recent versions save the image under the new name but keep the original version on screen whereas the older version I use instantly puts the copy on screen - SO ENSURE YOU'RE WORKING ON THE COPY BEFORE YOU START!!!
Thank you for these hints. I have now installed Microsoft Picture Editor on the PC (didn't have it before for some reason) and will now experiment.
Thanks again for the help, much appreciated
