Posting photos of your work

I don't turn much during the summer because I'm outside a lot. I did just finish 2 pieces and remembered to take photos. I'll try to get them posted this week if I can find some free time. Anybody know where I can get some 36 hour days?

So this week goes as follows.

Tuesday (today)-kayaking after work.

Wednesday-Turning club meeting.

Thursday-movie with the wife.

Friday-firing the wood kiln at the clay center(nap after work then my shift is 1am-7am Sat Morning)

Saturday afternoon and after a nap-lumber and tool auction at our woodworking club.

Sunday-whitewater kayaking.

Monday-back to work for some rest.

Wooork.  What is that.

I am new here. Been mostly reading and gaining information. I'm not a beginner, but have a whole lot to learn. Here is my latest work. This is my first attempt at a footed turning. Wood is maple, 5" wide 4" tall with WOP finish. Doing some Christmas ornaments now, but a bit early for them. Appreciate C & C to help me improve. Not sure if I am going to do many more footed turnings, but I am going to try hand mirrors for Christmas presents in the near future. Hard getting thes pictures down to 100kb, hope the show up.

Hi William!

Due to the 100K requirement here, I compress all photos to 99K for all forums, sending by email, etc. This is kind to the internet and recipients too!

I use Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to first size then compress to JPG since I've used it for years. For a free way, Ellis the Boss posted this set of instructions using an online compression program:

For viewing on a computer, you really don't lose significant quality by compressing a lot - it's surprising how small you can make the file before you start to notice artifacts on a computer screen! Look at the example in his message.

Thanks JKJ. I'll have to work on it. I use an iPad. After posting a reply I think maybe the intention was to start a post.

>>> I use an iPad.

Ack! I haven't found the perfect iPad app for processing but I did once find one that would sort of work - I think it was Snapseed but not sure. When I have a photo on my iPad or phone I want to post I email it to myself then process it on the laptop. Maybe the online app Ellils mentioned will work on the iPad.
