Peter
As you are aware from volume of enquiries we are receiving daily and passing on the questions to you, do you think this is a better medium for us to keep in touch with?
We are now taking on average five serious prospects per day, each of whom is keen to glean more information about a wide range of subjects that I know you are in a better position to deal with. I can answer some enquiries by using extracts from your website and this forum. However, if you know of any other sources of information please let me know.
I have been contacted by Real Homes magazine, a paid-for publication with a nationwide circulation of 150,000, to provide some photographs and descriptions of properties in Croatia. This will be free advertising for any apartments or houses you would like to promote. The drawback so far is that they require the images to be at a minimum of 2Mb in size to achieve the resolution. If I were to lift the pictures from your website they don't go much above 22Kb. If you are in agreement, please could you send me some 'High-Res' images of what you would consider good value for money properties. We only need four for the article.
Kind Regards
Peter

It is probably better to email me directly but if the questions are unusual, by all means post them here and others may benefit from the answers.
Real homes sounds interesting. However, whilst we reduce images for quicker loading on the website, our original images are nowhere near 2mb. When do they need them by? I'm thinking of investing in a new digital camera and this might be the nudge I need!
Kind regards

Peter, we have just purchased a Canon EOS300D digital camera. It is a full SLR and thus has the facility of interchangable lenses etc. The quality is fantastic and it is easy to use. Much better than the compact cameras as you have the full range of EOS add ons such as professional flash guns, and importantly wide angle lenses for interior shots. The toy flashes on compacts just do not give good light for interior shots, yet the 600D can use slave flashes to highlight features whilst still providing the overall light (they also use evaluative metering through the lens when working with flash) Additional battery pack and a couple of good size memory cards are probably essential if you are taking a lot of pics.

Hi Graham
I'm thinking of a Canon digital body as I have an A1 and it would be useful to be able to use the lenses from it onto a digital body.
Cheers

If you do get a 300D make sure that you use Canon lenses as some of the third party ones do not fit correctly. Not sure about the other Canon digital bodies as my budget did not stretch that far  Also get as many spare battery packs as you can because with a 1 gb card you will run out of power before you fill the card, even without using the flash. |
