Where can I get a 5.2 mb NEF hosted?

I took a pic of albino peacock the other day at the wildlife park. I think it has some potential, but a white bird against a dark background is pushing my meagre PP skills... :shock:

I thought if I could find somewhere to put the NEF or at least a high quality JPG, some of you might want to have a go at it. Any suggested homes?

The original NEF (resized and converted to jpg):

My 5 minute PP effort (I rarely spend more than 10 minutes on PP, if I don't like by then, I never will):

What's not to like?

I think that was 5 minutes well spent John. It's come up a treat.

I all you want is to give someone access to the file, zip it and then upload it to pixspot! While this sounds weird it works. When they click on the icon of the zip file, it will download for them

See two samples below, first takes you to the page, second is a simpler version that starts an immediate download:

Neat trick huh

Edit: Not sure if Pixspot has an upload size limit

Good idea Stubbsy, but I didn't want to do that. Poor Kristine's bandwidth is abused enough already. However, if she gives permission, that's another story :lol:

JUst checked Pixspot:

The size of files uploaded from your client to the server should not exceed 1024 KB each


Nice idea while it lasted :cry:

You should be able to upload it to PixSpot if it is zipped - if you have any problems just let me know.

Thanks Kristine, I'll do it tonight. I didn't want to dump such a big file there without your permission. :)

Hi Johndec
If you want, I'm setting up a teacher forum board and while it is being established, I have plenty of unused bandwith at the moment.
PM me if you are interested and I'll give you an email address to send the nef file to. I'll then upload it and then provide the link here for all D70 members. :D
This applies to anyone else who wants to donate an image for members to play with.
Cheers
Graham

you can setup a geocities account for hosting or use your own isp if available

I tried twice, but it wouldn't accept it :cry: Seeing as bago100 has some bandwidth laying around, I'll give him a yell. Maybe we can get a bit of a "Fix My Pic" forum going... :lol:

Did the zipped file exceed the 1 Mb limit?

Yes, but judging by Kristine's reply earlier in the thread I assumed it didn't apply to zipped files....
