Ooops!

Image exceeds the forum 800 x 600px limit. Could you resize?

It's good to see a Canon 3,5/20mm in action

I thought for external linked images that doesn't matter. Could you see the 1200 pix photo?

Hmh how ever here is a 800pix version

Hi Lothman,

Yes, the 1200px version is viewable. The 800 x 600px limit is for the benefit of viewers who do not have fast internet connections.

It is possible to include a link to the larger version in your post; but 800 x 600px is the nominated, maximum forum image dimension limit.

Larger version here

Monitor size is the main issue regarding pixel counts.

Several years ago we had a limit of 600 x 600 pixels, then we increased it to the present 800 x 800 pixels as larger monitors like 1280 x 1024 became common.

Images of size 800 x 800 will display in their entirety on almost everybody's monitors. Images that are much larger will either not fit at all or require awkward scrolling on commonly used monitors.

When even larger monitors become common, we'll increase the limits again.

It might also make sense to change the limit from square 800x800 pixels to something a bit larger in the horizontal. The catch there is that horizontal image size interacts with the layout of forum pages. I'm not sure exactly how much wiggle room there is.

Great job with your new lens!

Weevils are one of my favourite macro subjects - they've just got so much character - particularly at this sort of magnification. Lighting is just about perfect and really brings out that wonderful elephant-like "skin" texture.

From a purely selfish point of view I'm glad you managed to sneak one in at 1200x862

A new revelation for me. Never thought that Curculionidae were hairy!
