Great Picture. Do you have more to post?

So many hashtags!

Do you have an account where you can post a higher res version of a couple of these? IG slaughters them so it's impossible to get a sense of what a 45 mp image looks like.

open to suggestion on how to do this, i'm afraid i'm a newbie to posting photos, so i'm not sure how to get the 'circa' 181+mb files uploaded to anything...

smugmug perhaps?

Hahaha... Ya the camera guys always neglect to mention that you're going to need to put a mainframe in to process your images!

I think Flickr is pretty good. They're owned by Smugmug now...

.tiffs are lovely but unnecessary unless you're going to print something. If you haven't compressed them, they're going to be monsters. Save them as jpgs and they'll be much smaller, and look the same on screen.

When I do print publications (I publish a calendar and some stuff) and I use tiffs so that I have the most data when I convert to CMYK
