Nikon Wednesday 2022: #30

Matt Laur · July 27, 2022

Note: In the interests of balancing performance and quality, the topic of image file size and dimensions as normally posted to this recurring thread is under discussion elsewhere in the Nikon forum (the topic is obvious when you look) - please check in there and comment if you have thoughts to share! That's the best place to talk about that particular topic. For now, consider keeping uploads no larger than 1600 pixels on the long side when it matters, and sticking with 1000 pixels when the image feels no pain at that resolution. On data size/compression, try to keep things under 1mb, shooting for 600kb when you can stop there. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here:

. For now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit.

Yet another week where my IT hat never left my head, so it's back once more into Wayback Wednesday. Here's a random selection that's actually interesting because ice-coated pine needles offer some relief from the week's high heat. In this case it was 8 years ago and I was flying a little ol' D5100 with a kit lens under an older DJI hex drone, and on the way up for the horizon shot, got a look at some frozen pines at roughly 75 feet. Man, is it easier to get stuff like that working these days. And less dangerous! Won't see a scene like this for several months, but with luck next week I won't be doing any time traveling. Share some stuff!
