Cindy, I am a little late on this thread...did I miss your photo here?

GERASDOC...wow, amazing macro..I can see sparkles on the flowere blossom petals....incredible lighting.

SCHO, do the pelicans normally allow you so close? The lighting almost looks as if there is fill lighting.

Here is a local 'friend' from the past weekend with the M8 dressed in Kaki Camo, taken with M8 50mm f2 Summicron close in focus and then cropped a lot.

Seems I cannot upload to this post today. I will try again later

I'm trying to use the yellow icon to link to a photo in my RFF gallery. I'm getting the red x. Can anyone tell me what is wrong?
I just put a link in in the meantime.

The pelican was patiently waiting for handouts from fishermen on the pier. Taken near sunset, but no flash fill lighting. I did use the fill feature in Lightroom when processing the raw file to compensate for the underexposed foreground.
 
Pbase might not let you hotlink from their site. I am going to try with your image, just to see if it works. I will take it down in a minute or two:

Ok, I took it down, but it worked for me. Just take the image address from pbase: (http://www.pbase.com/cindyflood/image/76874504/large.jpg), and put it between the two img tags. Make sure that you close the second tag (make it /img inside the brackets). Other than that, I don't quite know what to say. There are always tiny little mistakes that will prevent the picture from being shown.

I am astounded at the quality of the images this ting can produce. The sharpness and color rendition is brilliant. Damn now I am going to want one.

Here is how to link from pbase (need a paid account):

Direct linking to an image for use on another website, forums, or message boards:
Due to bandwidth costs, you can only use this feature if you have paid.

This works just like linking to an image page but append .jpg to the end of the URL.
example: www.pbase.com/image/image number.jpg
example: www.pbase.com/image/image number/size.jpg

Note: to direct link to a .gif, use the .jpg extension also. It will still send the gif file.

The number in the image URLs is that photo's image_id which is a unique number across the site. You can find this number by viewing that photo and looking at the URL in your browser's address/location bar near the top or by holding your mouse over the thumbnail for that photo, and looking at the URL in your browser's status bar at the bottom.

IMPORTANT
Please use only the hostname www.pbase.com or pbase.com in your URLs. These will always work. Other hosts such as image2, genjaro, www2, ji, or anything similar might work or seem to work at first, but are server specific and may become invalid as the site hardware architecture changes. One goal of pbase is to never break incoming links to the site. When changes are made to the URL structure, the old ways still work. But for this to work, you must use the official URLs as explained above.

Thanks for all of the help. I had it up initially and then it changed to the red x. I have reposted the link and it is working this time.

All of the images posted from the M8 are great. It is really a joy to use the M8 and a joy to look at the work that others are doing.
 
Thought I would post a few more. Great M8...such a blast to use. Hong Kong in all its beautiful lights in early late february this year. You can see the Chinese Spring Festival lights decorating all the buildings.
