ShunCheung Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Note: 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). New to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: https://www.photo.net/forums/topic/398109-guidelines-for-nikon-forum-wednesday-image-threads. For now, we're sticking with 1, 2, or 3 images per week as you see fit. Happy Wednesday to all. Matt Laur is busy today and asked me to come off the bench to start Nikon Wednesday. As the US Open (tennis) is in full swing in New York City, I am going into the archives to post a tennis-related picture. This is a March 2012 image from the Indian Wells tennis tournament in Southern California. Back then I visited my mother every year around that time and also spent a day or two at the tennis tournament. Nikon D7000 camera body with the 300mm/f4 AF-S lens @ f4, 1/1250 sec and ISO 200. BTW, long-time members of this forum may recognize the capitalization for the word Wednesday is to recognize what Jose Angel, who started this tradition, used to type. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EXIF data on this one says 15mm, but it should have been the same as the first photo above, also at f/11. 1/60s @ ISO 64.

Thank you very much Shun. Actually, your work and Matt's are way more worthy of recognition! I am always happy to browse around here and read many old acquaintances (and also new interesting ones), which I do almost every week. Unfortunately my photographic work has been very limited for some time now. It's funny... I've never met other photonetters in person but I have the feeling that they are lifelong friends. I even miss some that are not around here for a while 🙂 Edited September 7, 2023 by jose_angel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 I actually have met a number of photo.net characters in person, but mostly from the older days: Some of you may remember Bob Atkins. He and I both used to work for AT&T in New Jersey in the 1990's. I got together with him perhaps once a year and after we returned to California, we visited him a couple of times but he eventually moved to Maine. Hannah Thiem used to be editor, and I saw her once in 2008 at the Named Media headquarters in Massachusetts (when Named Media owned photo.net). In August 2012, we went to Josh Root's house in Washington State once, near the Canadian boarder, but unexpectedly, he departed from photo.net a few months later. His children were very young at that time. Jeff Spirer used to live in San Francisco, and I saw him a couple of times before they moved to Portugal. We went to Australia in early 2018 and landed in Sydney. William Michael took us to lunch at the Queen Victoria Building. Apparently only William Michael is still active on photo.net.
