David,

we've got to see those pics!

If I may make a suggestion: set your camera to shoot at 1024x768 resolution in fine resolution (not superfine). This should produce files of about 500 KB in size or less which allows you to upload an entire 12 shots per post (6000 KB max) if you like. The size of the frames is re-scaled by RCU in any case. Also, most cameras have a macro function for close up shots. This keeps your shots in focus on the area of interest.

If you're handy with Photoshop (or various utilities), it's easy to re-size them too. If you don't have these programs, you can re-size them by sending yourself an email with Outlook, attaching the photos and have Outlook scale them for you. It will ask if they are to be sent as originals or a smaller size. You can then select "Large" and the photos will come back to you in 1024x768. Handy ain't it!?

Hope this helps, David.
