04-18-12 – Sun in Frame

/ I sort of with these threads had a “Like” button.

Still a little numb from the dentist’s chair, Ulle? I caught the lisp. 😆

Thanks CISS; a shot with similar tones is one of the ‘ayes’

Damn you, sleeping…you got your sunset shot in mere seconds before I got there -_- Now I look like a copycat! 🙄

I’m glad you only get three entries U-Man, there are a lot of great ones though.
A couple Bees, wasn’t sure if there was enough sun to use them:

Dang it, just realized I screwed up the sizes on a couple of mine, oh well.

Well, I don’t think that’s what U-Man had in mind, but technically, the description doesn’t say anything about an actual star undergoing nuclear fusion.

What she said. In the grand scheme, a fake sun in this theme isn’t something to worry about.

I’m still poking around my folders. I may use it if I don’t find anything better.

Got mine posted, 2 beers later I agree that my original 3rd choice was the better of the two. For some reason my tree/sunset shot had to be resized down considerably to get under the 256k size limit, even after re-uploading at a lower JPG quality setting. :-/

That JPG limit really hurts sometimes. My danshui sunset photo looks sharp and ridiculously detailed in its original form, but after resizing it to fit fark limits it lost a lot of its pop. Maybe I need to try different converters to resize my images…right now I’m using the ViewNX. Does anyone have suggestions on cleaner photo resizes?

Glad my battery was dead this afternoon from taking pics of botanical and memorial gardens by the time sunset rolled around. Otherwise, I’d be looking like half the pics posted. A lot of good shots this week, but after a dozen orange sunsets, the mystery is gone.

I too had a heck of a time getting my tree photo to fit under the Fark size limit. I had to reduce the jpg quality twice before Fark would accept it from Flickr, even though the three files I uploaded were 215 kB, 189 kB, and finally 170 kB. I use IrfanView.
