Thanks, I hadn’t thought to go tighter. I’ll try it and see what I come up with.

Question for you guys, I’ve got his picture but I’m having a hard time figuring out a crop that helps illustrate the height of the falls (300+ feet) AND keeps it in a semi panoramic aspect ratio. Any suggestions?

Super-Biggie-Size stitched original ~5MB

Favorite crop thus far:

Also, is it considered bad photo-fu to post panoramas that have black or white chunks of missing picture in them?

I’ve found that a small spray bottle of glass cleaner and a rag go a long ways towards getting a clean shot – especially if you’re behind one of the school groups who’ve smeared their hands and noses all over the glass.

That’s incredible, I knew we were gonna fly past epic when we hit 300+ entries on Wednesday night.

What can we do to help keep those boobies from becoming wieners? Anything?

[RcMacStudent]

Very cool. Thanks for all the work you put into that monstrosity we call the FSM.

[RcMacStudent]

You hit it right on the head Schnee.

The last part seems kind of wordy, how about:

* Combining exposures in post-processing is not allowed. However, multiple exposures produced in-camera are always acceptable.

E Don’t worry about it – I assumed I was going crazy,* sometimes it’s nice to know that the issue isn’t my head.

*This shouldn’t be construed to be saying that I’m not crazy, I rather enjoy my insanity.

Am I just crazy or has the “This weeks contest is ____, Links: (here), {here}, and [here]” banner been missing for a couple weeks?

[RcMacStudent]

SilverStag, you do realize this thread is going to go ballistic on Fark, right? 😆

I think the real question is: do you think we could get Fark to fark itself if we got a banner ad rotating on the main page for the week preceding the contest?

Count one vote for towed glider = flying.

I’ll second.

[RcMacStudent]

oh sorry about that, what size should i bring them down to? or is it okay if i just do links?

Posting links is fine.

If you save your pictures as a .jpeg and resize them to 600-800 pixels (on the long side) it will be much smaller than the .png’s you’ve been using.

Or you can upload the full size pictures to a web service like Flickr and just post a smaller size in the forums.

My first time trying to shoot fireworks, I like them anyways… Does anyone have any tips on avoiding lens flare when shooting fireworks?

damn, wrong thread….

No worries, that happens to all of us from time to time. 😀

FYI: If you look at your own posts there’s a little X-out button in the lower right hand corner that lets you delete your own posts.

Nice photo BTW.

Analogy: I hadn’t thought of that but it makes sense.

linguine: No, I haven’t done anything with it in PS except to crop and resize. I’ll probably try that and see if I can find anything that’ll look remotely natural but it’s more for the experience than anything else as I don’t particularly care for the picture.
