Thanks for your feedback WeiXing. You are the second person to tell me that the image doesn't appear in the posting :(

Took a few shots but somehow just couldn't get the focus right. My lens do not have infinity settings at extreme ends but rather a short distance away, making it quite difficult to get a sharp focus.... [smilie=bad-atmosphere.gif]

This link will work:

@Alfred. I think maybe you should stick to this type of non ".jpg" links. Seems like pbase doesn't want people to directly jpg link/embed their photos.

Hi Gary,

Thanks for the suggestion. The strange thing is that it works for some time and then it stopped working. Will have to do more observation with the PBASE URL.

I will appreciate it if I can have feedback which URL refrencing works from other forum readers :)

Alfred.

Thanks Gary for helping. The direct linking feature was enabled. I have just checked it again and ensured that it is. The strange thing is that sometimes the it works and sometime it doesn't. Just saw Clifford's note. It worked for him.

Hope that there will be more pictures taken tonight :)
