should "how to photograph your work" have its complete dedicated section?

Michael, BTW if you would move back with your APS size sensor camera to get the subject in the frame the same way as with your full frame sensor camera, then you would have more depth of field. If you are using the same lens on both camera's

Okay, but if you've already backed yourself into a corner trying to shoot some kitchen cabinets... then what? 

well.... 3 options
1. Tear down a wall ;D
2. Buy full frame camera
3. You could take a few shots with the camera on a tripod (as if doing a panorama) and stitch them together in photoshop for example. This might give you the wide 
    angle view you're looking for

No, no, too much.  Just make sure you have a hole saw in your kit that's a little bigger than your lens, and...

Ned,

Hi.   Do NOT use the URL info below the pic.   I haven't a clue what that is for.   

If you are using FF2, I found a great way of getting the image address.   In the Gallery, click on the image until you get the largest image.   Then right-click in that window and select "Copy Image Location".  Then paste in you post as normal.   Works great and faster.

Regards,

Dan.

Dan,

As you well know, this digital photo stuff is still mostly beyond my knowledge level.  But I thought you might want to know that when I open posts by you with photos, the photos typically run off the margins of the display of either of my two PCs and I have to scroll left-to-right in each image in order to view the entire image you have posted.  This is a bit cumbersome when reading through a photo essay post containing several pictures and for me, detracts from what is otherwise a consistently excellent post.  So, are you certain that selecting the largest size available is the best choice?  I don't know what controls the size (width) of a photo when it is displayed.  My work PC is equipped with am using MS Office Professional; my home PC is running VISTA Home Premium Edition.

P.S. I'd be delighted to know how to take and post any digital photos.  (I'll get there eventually.  I Need to buy some equipment.)

That never happens to me. What resolution  is your monitor set at?

Dave,

This is a very good question.  ALL of my images are downsized from the original.  My originals are typically something like 3000X2000 pixels.  What resolution are your monitors set to? 

Regarfds,

The high defaults in each case.  The photo display quality is excellent.  My work PC is set at 1024 x 768 pixels, 32 bit color, and is a 14 inch diagonal screen.  I cannot give you my home PC settings at this time. 

Modified 12/12/2008 -- My home PC (Dell Inspiron E1505) is running VISTA Home Premium OS which states that it automatically controls the monitor.  It is currently indicating 1200 x 800 pixels, 32 bit color, both of which are the highest settings possible on this PC's display.

You will never see all his big pictures with that resolution. I had to bump my monitor to 1280 x 720 to see it without having to pan. I have been keeping everything at 1920 x 1200 so I never noticed until you mentioned it.

It uses to be the web sites were designed 800x 600 those days are long gone. A lot of web sites are being designed 1280 x 720 now. A real good portion of all monitor sales are LCD with resolutions of 1600 x 1200 and even 1920 x 1080 and up, I fear your monitor may be a little outdated for a lot of  web content, especially in the next year or two.

Though my primary monitor is 20", 1600x1200, I always resize photos I post to not more than 600 pixels wide.  No one's complained about lack of detail, and Mr. S. S., who's still running on dialup, hasn't complained about speed.
