Slate resting in sunlight through the window
Here's an interesting picasa/blogger tidbit: Apparently when you upload from Picasa directly to a blog, the default storage for the images is your picasa acct., which unless upgraded has a file size limit. I've only run into this recently with high megapixel cameras > 10 or so. So I hope this image works, I used small, and also cropped it. The camera used was an Olympus EPL1 that stores huge (~7-9MB files) JPGs in large and superfine mode. The lens used was a Hexanon AR SLR lens, the 57/1.4 @ 1.4.

Nice detail on Slate's fur, Ted. I changed the thumbnail to size: Large. The thumbnail setting is independent of the file size that you upload.

Thanks for that tip Warren, It could be that my crop dropped it in size to be uploaded. When I don't resize down to 3 or 4MB, the result is that the top portion of the image is fine, but instead of an error, as would be expected, the bottom portion of the image is just blacked out with some weird colors. Of course JPGs that are smaller like from the 6MP RD1, or if I resize, then they upload fine.
Resizing down a little for the web is OK, but I think the more info. we can retain in our JPGs, the better...Maybe I'll upgrade my Picasa acct.
I resize the images that I export from LR to upload to Blogger, usually between 1000 and 1400 pixels on the long side, at 150ppi, at between 65% and 75% quality (a Lightroom export setting). This results in file sizes between 300k and 400k for the upload file.

You have really captured Slate's attitude and I can hear Slate purrrring. The angle and detail of the fur leave me wondering what the cat is thinking.

Hi Warren, it's probably an OCD'ish subjective thing, but I think the larger the JPG, the better quality the image. Deeper blacks, and whiter whites (in-between clipping, that is).
Especially when clicking the full-size image, and then zooming it out on a big screen (e.g. FHD, or even a small 7" nexus 7 tablet (1280x800).
But I know it's subjective. Some folks can't hear differences between low or hi-rate mp3s and uncompressed audio, or they don't think they are hearing it. But it's great that they're their enjoying music in whatever format they like.
Thanks Dolph, I think our 2 tabbies like posing, they realize they're being the center of attention, and will sometimes cooperate with some nice poses. I've read a few books on cat behavior, and I don't think anyone has conclusively nailed why and how cats purr, but the general consensus is that they are content unless the purr turns to a growl and their hair stiffens, then they're might be getting ready to fight another cat or animal.
Excellent creative pose shot. nice detail, great image !
Lena,
Thanks Lena!!
