Getting old ! ah yes, I was wondering if that was causing some problems...for you guys..... It seems google plus / picasa have changed the size options to "full size" or "for web", when uploading.... I choose for web... This change has come about in the last couple of weeks.... Darn nuisance.. .. the previous options they had were much better. Why they just don't leave things alone!

I just see that it does not down size the images under "best for Web" It's the same as the original So they have a bug to fix there.... I just tried this, but need feed back from you guys... resizing using Google Plus... a long tedious way of having to do things How does this work for size .....? ..... 1280 x 853 approx... Perhaps should be smaller yet? Edited April 10, 2013 by samuijimmy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancealot Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) @ Jimmy Do the 800 or 1000 like everybody else does. Bear in mind many of the farm enthousiast(like myself) are on an aircard which can be very slow in the sticks. Think of the readers before posting.

It was Google Plus giving the problem, of choices of size... I have now deleted that .... and hope that going only from Picasa, that the images will be back to normal size for everyone.... ( I just hope the already images uploaded don't go south..... ) Fricking pain Google Plus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I am only a Mac user, and they have not got their Mac version anywhere close to PC version. I am still sorting Lightroom, but it is laziness or not enough hours in the day, to get too serious about it!!! ! This is a long dusty road to the rice paddy....

shaggy1969 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) @ Samuijimmy The last set of photos you uploaded are a lot more comfortable to view. The ones before were OK to view on my desktop monitor (big widescreen) but on my notebook I needed to scroll and slide to view the full image. Great photos BTW @Dancealot Thanks mate for sharing your cabbage photos,another first on this thread Variety is the spice of life,so they say. Also my apologies regarding the manure,should never of doubted you !!!! Keep up the great work @RBH Those are some cracking sized pond you have there. Do they take much maintenance keeping the water level at the desired depth? How many fingerlings did you add this time,80,000 again? Another great post from the fish man (& pig man) Edited April 13, 2013 by shaggy1969 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shaggy1969 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2013 How about this for a nest full of Muscovy duck eggs (22 in total) and everyone of them hatched out. Photo of Muscovy mother and her 22 babies. The hen that you see also in the photo was a old brooding hen that sat on some Muscovy eggs after some heartless bugger stole the mother duck at night time. What makes me smile is the mother instinct in her trying to protect her babies from the much bigger Muscovy duck. Nature can be wonderful sometimes !!!! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBullHorn Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 22 ! Oh my Buddha ! That's a great accomplishment of a surrogation work for a great hen ! As for the 2 rai ponds, have water year round, 100'000 fingerlings into the 1st starting pond, made a request with the land deity, offering a pig head package & 2 Qt of Lao Khao...
