Modem users, beware!

[jns]

Okay, finally, I have the northern lights photos in hires (http://photo.felibarr.org/images/hires/), but modem users, beware! :)
Each photo is about 2.5 mb each. :eek:
Well, now I'm off, have to run some errands, we have a Nikon speedlight that is broken. :rolleyes:
Well, later folks. :)

Edited:

Good pics man... :D http://www.sargessmilies.homestead.com/files/Smilies/Sarge/Tongue_anim.gif. I like the second one... ;)

[jns]

Woah! I just realized, the second looks somewhat like a pointing middle finger. :p;)

The "finger-problem" is a trend (on my pics... :p ) http://www.sargessmilies.homestead.com/files/Smilies/Sarge/Tongue_anim.gif

Actually, the standard for my photos is 500 pixels wide, I put those hi-res photos there by request. :)

When you make a pic, your left finger is on the foto... :p

My english :( ;)

[jns]

Ah, oh, I get it, I don't have that problem. ;)
Although, I think that the remotes wire can be seen on some of those northern-lights photos. :p

Back before the reformat, I had some very important PS images at 260MB each :D

[jns]

Well, that is you. :p

[Lain]

what's with all the shooting stars? Did you take pics while a meteor shower was taking place?

[s1138]

[tjb2004]

I made a smilie one time that was about 400 megs before I compressed it into a gif. :eek: After it was compressed, it was about 2 megs. :D

[jns]

Wow.

I'd like to see that smilie. :p

[fwgx]

well i'm at uni on the t1 or whatever they have and i stillcouldn't be botherd to wait for it to d/l, maybe the servers slow today but it was taking ages.

btw, i may be getting cable at me house soon :D

[jns]

Could be our server being slow, although I doubt it, I'm the only one who uses it. :D

excellent photos jns, just a couple of questions:

They seem pretty grainy - what film were you using to take them> Ever consider using slide film - especially Agfa CTx films for their pastel colors. Kodak Ektachrome is good too for their contrast, albeit a little unbalanced - too much blue.

PS. nice scanner!! I'm using the HP Photo Smart S 20 Photoscanner at the moment - have to upgrade to a Nikon Coolscan soon :)

[jns]

Fuji, 400 ASA.
Yeah, get it! Best scanner I've ever used. :)

[. - .... .- -. ....]

you should try a lower res film 100 or 200 max. Makes no difference if you're mounted on a tripod. Don't leave the shutter open for more than a minute though, or the rotation of the earth will make the stars seem like lines.

[jns]

Yeah, I know, there are l33t things that'll make the camera rotate so te stars'll show as they are supposed to. :)

[. - .... .- -. ....]

Unfortunately these things cost money - I think I'll stick to my $70 tripod for now :)

[jns]

wtf? I replied to this, but the post disappeared? :confused:

[mr_sax]

high res scans only work when printed out off computer, but screens now-a-days can only see 96dpa, older ones, 72dpa :(

it sux0rz i wouldn't mind seeing 600dpa on my screen :eek:

but that's why if you create a photo in adobe and put the res to 600 or something the image is huge! because ur screen can't show it the way it'll be printed
