Updated Piccies of MFS Cassandra

[Anastasia]

Opie has heaps of piccies that she took when she visited us two weeks ago, but am having to be very patient and wait to see all the piccies

. However these are ones I took of Cassy at the weekend. She is by Vision out of our Sandro Hit mare:

She is such a sweet natured filly...........

[_jetset_]

She is a very pretty little filly... how old is she now?

 

[Anastasia]

Hi Becki, Cassy is three weeks old past Saturday.......we keep on forgetting how young she is..........

 

[_jetset_]

She is really lovely... and going to be a very stunning mare when she is older.

I cannot believe Troy is 21 weeks now, where has the time gone?

 

[Anastasia]

I know, its amazing how quickly the time passes with them all.......... before you know it they are all grown up and have left home....................

 

[no_no_nanette]

Its called the "empty nest syndrome" .... When our little chap is weaned, if we do send him away, it won't just be his mum who will miss him!

LOL..............well we have 8 foals this year......

The good thing when the foals are sold is when you get all the updates via email, phone or post with the pictures of how they are growing..........always makes me have a bit of a puffed out chest..........LOL

 

[Damien]

I do have heaps..... but not so many that are picture perfect, there are always those little anoying things such as eyes closed, ears back, pics taken on the land etc etc etc etc... hopefully Ree will have more than I do but here are a few to share.

 

[Anastasia]

Opie you have taken some cracking shots, thank you so much for sharing..........you tease...........

You have picked up some lovely scenary in the background as well, especially the one with Caelen and the pampass grass.........that is just superb

Again thanks for sharing........it means a lot as we have been eagerly awaiting some photos from both you and Ree. Will just have to have the pair of you back up again next year, except with a bigger bottle of win........

Can I ask you a thing regarding pictures, whats the best software to reduce the JPEG size without losing the quality??

 

[Damien]

Your welcome,

I use JASC Paintshop pro 7 for all of my web work, have done for years. I set the compression value to 30 and resize to 500 pixels wide.

Ree is trying hard to persuade me to use Adobe but don't really like learning new technology

but will definitely invest in Adobes lightroom as it has some great features and has the ability to publish flash photo albums directly online. Seems like a great tool for dealing with photography.

 

[Anastasia]

Thanks Opie, oohhh what is Adobe Lightroom? Have Adobe but find its not the easiest to work with...........I guess if I used it more often.............

 

[Damien]

Not sure that lightroom will be any easier to learn haven't tried it yet but I guess I'm going to have to get my head around it sometime.

Thanks Opie for the link, and again for taking such lovely pictures

........... can I pinch any............

 

[Damien]

sure........ i downloaded the free trial of lightroom, its fab! Really easy to use, great features and works magic on the pics, the album and web features are really neat for online presentations but most of all its really dead straight forwards to use! definitely worth the investment. Not a graphics tool like PSP or adobe PS but for pics its perfect!
