Matt Laur Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 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: Guidelines for Nikon Forum Wednesday Image Threads. For now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit. I know, I know, I was supposed to swear off air show images for a bit. But I didn't get in any fresh work this last week, and I saw in the news that the Blue Angels just assigned their first ever female demo team member. Lt Amanda Lee joins the team and will be flying one of those shiny blue Super Hornets with the very best. So, just for fun, here's a recent shot of #6 getting VERY close to super sonic over Annapolis. Careful there, number six! So I guess this is technically another Wayback Wednesday, always optional! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennisbrown Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I like to shoot fireworks, and The Henry Ford/Greenfield Village has a couple of fireworks shoots twice a year. This one is from the July 1st show. I was testing my new-to-me Z-5, using a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 lens. Bulb exposure @ f/13. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgelfand Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Morning visitor, shot thru a screen Nice soft shot. It is reminiscent of the old portrait technique of shooting through a sheer silk or nylon stocking to soften a portrait and remove skin wrinkles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgelfand Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Ha! There goes your job in marketing...:D To the contrary, Mike. A good advertisement has skin, almost, to perfection, today, especially if it is for clothing or beauty products. The minor imperfection is placed, sometimes artificially, to accentuate the perfection. The portraits that you see with many skin wrinkles, usually but not exclusively, are of men. But either of men or women, they are usually done for art. They are not the portraits that family keep on thier desks at work or in the house. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
