      When you hillwalk a lot in Scotland you become a bit numbed to the weather. Saner people would have turned back seeing their hill taking a soaking of rain, hail and sleet.

      A superb set of photos, but then you know that!

      The only thing that seems missing is the EXIF info, it seems to have gone on all of them, a shame that as it usually adds something for the photographers to look at, and allows dates and times to be seen to put things into context etc. On mine they tend to be an hour out mind you, til I remember to set the camera for BST...

      Sorry about that. I used a utility to reduce the size from the 12M pixel and I guess it removed the EXIF data. The panoramas will obviously have no information either.

      Some of the very latest cameras are producing 6mb JPG images now, and the RAW images are absolutely silly sizes.

      At present the best bet seems to be to load the full size JPG into something like Photoshop or PaintShop Pro and reduce the size of the file down below 3mb for uploading here.

      Thankfully most of us have current digital cameras that produce JPG files between 1.5 and 3mb and so ideal for here, and life is easy, just snap and upload etc.

      Some folks like to save photos off in RAW format, that uses a lot of disk space and needs a very capable computer/software to handle it well. I guess that may be your 12mb image size. If so, things like Photoshop and some utils should be able to work on the images without losing the EXIF info...but it easily lost if the wrong box is ticked somewhere it seems...I've done it plenty of times myself.

      I suspect that in a couple of years time our Broadband will be 10 times current speeds and jpg photos may be 20mb each... I'm not sure if that is progress or not really...or where it will all end! 3D Holograms are next I suppose...!

      Your photos would be wonderful in 3D wouldn't they... you could try that even now...with 2 photos taken a few inches to the side of each other. The technique is discussed here: http://www.ukexpert.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=92

      I love this one too - as Steve says, they are all wonderful. I used to resize in Microsoft Picture It and that removed the information too. The newer versions seem to have overcome that problem. As a 'beginner,' I do like to read the EXIF - it's especially interesting to know which cameras are used.
