Welcome Robshoots. The "Attach files"on the lower left opens your files. Selecting one gives you the option of thumbs or full file. I like to resize for a smaller file for my older computer to work with. There is a section at the end of the forums especially for practice.
Thanks very much for the information, smithdan. I will check out the practice section. I really like this weekly challenge.
Definitely has that soft look (and I don't mean to imply the lens is soft) that one expects from shooting at 1.8 or faster.
According to the info on the 'net, this lens is soft open. I shot it a while back and found that it sharpens up rapidly as soon as f4. If it had a proper mount, I could demo that on the digital, the Exakta kit is loaded ready to go but with temps approaching 40C this old guy is hanging in the shade. Once upon a time, soft focus was in vogue. Filters and even lenses were sold for this effect, a gob of strategically placed vaseline did it on the cheap.
You were right. Once I resized them, I could get the images to load in the post. I also got the full size/thumbnail options, which I wasn't getting before. Thanks again for the tip.
