Bursting into Blue..m

Fangman · 18-02-2006, 19:43

Just sent a Blue pic to Matty for the comp and went through the other images from lunchtime around the garden and forgot these -possibly Cambridge supporters.

Tried all sorts of crops - so many thirds looked for I ended up with cube roots and a GCSE in Maths!

absolutely cracking shot fangman, my wife is going crazy here, get down woman, its only a photo..

Nice shot, that. Filesize is a bit beyond the forum rules though.

Fangman · 18-02-2006, 22:04

Sorry - must watch out if I post a Square format.

I'll give you half an hour to resize it Fangman then I'm nukin' it.

I think the composition works fine as you have a strong diagonal going bottom right to top left with the blue flowers. Nice shot -well captured. Lovely colour. Links broken.

It's still oversize.

You need to reduce it to 160kb or less. If you right click on your pic and select 'Properties' you can see the file size.

Its still 800x800... but anyway, 800px "along longest edge" is ok I guess..

Fangman · 19-02-2006, 11:45

I've found the problem -Picturesync resises again and has set it back to 800x800 - I will alter the default.

Now 600x600
Just reduced the file to 52K but by the time it ends up in photobucket or Flikr it is 150K or more ?

Perhaps you need a gallery on here? I find it easiest for posting images here personaly.

Cracking shot though, I love spring

Wow what a fantastic vivid blue. Cracking shot and so sharp. I loooooove the spring with its explosion of colour.

Have you done anything with it other than crop it?

Yes I cheated to get a "the blues" picture - doctored it in Lab colour and chanel the crocuses are that mauvey-blue but I was so struck with the purity of Cambridge blue i kept it for effect.

Silly me - I have a gallery and it stayed under 50k when uploaded. Thanks for the advice.

Ooooh...very nice. Beautiful light - captured and presented adeptly.

Thought I would add that this got my first 20/20 at our Club last week called Cambridge GM Crocus (Geriatrically Modified).
