I was playing around and took 5 pictures of my neighbor's house today using (3) lenses and 5 focal lengths.
(Sorry I haven't figured out how to fix the crooked horizon yet)

10mm, 22mm Canon 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5
28mm, 55mm Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS
200mm Canon 70-200L f/2.8 IS

wicked lens collection! Did you make any EV shifts?

No. It was cold outside and I just wanted to get off a few shots quickly before I came home and started a painting project. I haven't played around with EV shifts yet- one of the many things I still need to learn.

All of these shots were taken at f/16. The 200mm shot put the IS to the test as it was shot at 1/60.


Q. How do I put text between the shots? I wanted to show the lens and focal length above each photo.

You can photoshop it into the image, or just html. Like don't attach the photos. Upload them to like Photobucket or something and then write your msg like this:

Blah blah blah

<insert url of image here>
canon 17-55mm f2.8 at wide 17mm, f16, etc.

The text you just type like you normally would. and whenever you want to insert an image, just do the "[img]" thing like I did above.

Mine is much smaller averaged sized home for this community- only about 8500 sq. ft. and built in 1886. There are quite a few homes in the 15,000-28,000 sq. ft. size built from the late 1800s till about 1930. I'll do a thread when I've taken shots of more of the houses- I love the architecture here.

*I took this photo when my house was being re-roofed so you might notice it has no shingles on the upper roof.

Gondor- Thanks. These photos are in Photobuket so I'll see if I can edit the post to include it as you suggest.

A house like that (8,500 sq ft) in Vegas would sell for...oh... a cool 1.5 million $$$

Don't rub it in. Vegas always has had low real estate prices and property taxes. I must say I really do miss working there and running the Stratosphere. Overall, I think there is a great quality of life to be had out there.

You actually do not have to link them from another site.
What you do, is to upload them directly but do NOT use the "Manage Attachments" button below where you type your text. Instead, use the tiny paperclip button that is above the text box. It is right between the white smiley face and the Undo arrow. Click the tiny paperclip, and it will open the Manage Attachments window. Upload the pics like normal, close window. Back in the text box, click the arrow next to the tiny paperclip to insert the pics right where you want them, and rearrange the text to your heart's delight :D
