Seems like a good enough place to post to me! I’ve never seen one, in all these years looking up; Phoenix isn’t exactly dark enough; I’ll think of heading north…

My go-around for the ‘no caption’ is naming the image file with it’s ‘title’. If someone is that interested, it’s not hard to find out what I was going for. Elsewise, I conform to this week’s rules (though I agree with U-Man on several points otherwise.) And anyone can always ask someone for the full-sized version, if they really wanted it. It’s my hosting site data experience that tells me the big files get a small fraction of the overall views anyway (pylon posted on fark: 5300. Pylon large sized: 52.)

Done and done. Thanks guys (or guy and gal, since I can’t be sure of NBD either; screennames are so non-gender!!

[ravnostic]

Oh, ok thanks and congrats!

Oops and now I see now that I wrote my question wrong, meant 1100 longest side, but got it answered right anyway. 😳

And I meant to say ‘image file size needs to be…’, but you got it understood anyway… 😀

6 of one, two triplets of the other…

Well, in all fairness, Cause inquired first, so I think he (she? I have no idea) should get first crack at it. But it appears NBD inquired right when I first replied (sort of a tie, given the ‘how much do you want for it’ aspect), so you two quibble among yourselves and decide who deserves to get it, then let me know. Either way, one of you gets it for $15. paypal addy is rav [at] ravnostic [dot] com. Include your address in the payment, I’ll ship it tomorrow (Tuesday, assuming ya’ll decide by then).

kashari, Filesize is 640 wide by up to 1100 height. But image size needs to be under 200K–and sometimes, those close to it get rubbed out anyway. Download ‘irfanview’ (do a google–it’s free, it’s safe, it’s good–using it for 10 years no problems–also does a mean job at ‘auto image correcting’ in a pinch) and the plug-ins, one of the plug-ins is ‘save for web’ and it should get you down to a reasonable size.

For example, my ‘pylon’ original that got #1 (insert plug here–yeay, me!) last week started out as a 3888×2592 9.2 megapixel, saved down to a 1200×800 932kb; irfanview got it down to the 640×427 at 85kb (you will be prompted to resize if it’s the original really big shot; elsewise, you can first resize with irfanview’s toys). Depending on the image, you might have to reduce quality from 100 to maybe 80-90, but the result should be fine in 90% of pics.

Meah. $15, includes shipping. I bought the thing, tried it out, and put the camera down for a week. Didn’t know till after the refund period it wouldn’t work out. It’ll be what, a couple bucks to ship? Assuming you’re in the U.S., at least. Elsewise it’s a total loss, so if I get 10-12 back, I’m happy.

[ravnostic]

Well I’ll be, Elsinore. I guess we read into these non-enunciated modern day lyrics what we want to. How does one cock God, btw?

[ravnostic]

And I’m just reminding you that halos at the 99 cent store come with inscriptions. 😆

So long as I continue to live 3000 miles away from Orionid, Kestrana (or for that matter Orionid has nothing to fear from me. And vice versa. If I can’t stalk people 1/8 way around the planet, whom can I stalk?

And don’t tell nobudie, but the whole ‘stalking’ shiat is just a hangover from a character I played on MySpace, back when such antics drew an audience of over 500 to read my blogs. I miss those days. Facebook sucks. All in good fun only; in person I’m shy and demure, and actually pretty much a gentleman. Really.

[ravnostic]

I think the intent was pretty clear there 😉

No, I meant ‘cock’ like in a gun. 8) You know, ‘a loaded gun complex, cock it and pull it.’ 🙄

Innocence, purity, chastity and virginity, that’s what I’m all about. Datum to the contrary are lies, rumors, scandalous mistruths and slander/libel.

It’s all inscribed on my halo. 😉

[ravnostic]

No, just guns.

😯 Guess I oughtn’t get to cocky! (double meanings…) 😛

[ravnostic]

This promises to be a good contest. Challenging without any captions; I have my pics (I have several more than I’m allowed in the arch’s, and am just starting the three-day-no-work spread to take more). Hopes I gets good ones! Looking forward to being blown away by what I didn’t think of that others did. I can see it now: Last week, #1; this week: Choke! (Hoping not to–I like my hopper and will strive to get even better–I know this group will bring their game!)

[ravnostic]

Congrats rav!! Welcome to The Winners Club!We’ll show you the secret handshake at the next meeting.

If it’s anything like the one at the *private* gentlemen’s club of which I used to be a {*cough*} member, I can’t wait! Is Orionid going to be there?

And if so, will Kestrana be his guardian, and will she be bringing armaments!!?

[ravnostic]

{pulls on tux} I’d like to first thank the farkademy, then the voters, and then all the little people. Seriously, to win in such fine photographic company is WAY cool.

[ravnostic]

This theme’s requirement against captions was the original theme suggester’s intent a year or 18 months ago, and I just left it in there since that was the original theme description.

Who was this person, anyways? Usually you give credit for these things.
