EDIT: May just post direct links to a full size shot in the future, like below, due to the compression issues I'm having going from 2560 x 1440 down to 1280 x 1024.
Here's the full size.

Mine start as full-screen 1920x1080 bmps, then I run them through IrfanView to resize/resample, and save as 'lossless' jpgs.
Sad to say, some shots seem to lose their effect, when I bust them down to 1290 wide (for the forum) or 1280 (for the comp). In those cases I upload a full-screen jpg as well as the resized one. That saves my bandwidth, and lets folk choose whether to view a huge pic, or just the small one in the post.
This usually happens with 'plane in landscape' shots - at 1290 wide, the plane just gets lost.

BTW, those are fine shots Sean, and it is always nice to see an aircraft with three tails

One off one my fave topics is very dynamic ocean rescue, the BK-117 would be an ideal topic maybe to help with WESTPAC rescue helio's .. It would be striking and make it truly moving ..

Mike, you know how my brain case works better than some .. artwork to promote and have a percentage go to the above around the NZ .. be - it is a good idea.

One of the guys at CBFS was working on a model of a dry-land training platform at a RN or RAF base in the UK, which would rock & roll just like a ship, and the trainee had to pin the tail on the donkey, so to speak.
Yep - as I thought it was Ben, aka TSR2. I found the whole thread very interesting, so you might find it worth reading too, but you could also go to Page 12 of the thread, scroll down to the bottom and start from there
EDIT: I have found it is usually a good idea to include the link to the thread one is talking about

Perhaps start a new topic on this one Mike as we are moving away from the original post
