dark light

Pictures you probably wanted to see

But I can’t post them until someone tells me how to resize my pictures to 800×600 or something. I’m using OS X. (I don’t use it often)

I was using my camera at ISO 400 with f 2.8 …it really really really really isn’t likable. I’m selling my camera…It takes great outdoor pics, but the indoor pics in low light just don’t come out right. Ugh. Photography tips would be welcome.

I’ll give you a hint where I was/am going. It isn’t anywhere near Wichita…

EDIT: and because I’m nice, I’ll say that one picture has 3 one-of-a-kind aircraft in it…

This should be easy.

Yes, I visited the smithsonian. I’ve been gone most all week because school’s started up.

I’ve got more pictures I’ll post. Unfortunately, I’ve got some homework I’ve gotta do.

Why aren’t there any drip trays, or drips? 😉

Hi Scarecrow,
All very dramatic and enigmatic. However, you can intrigue us or get help – it looks like you ain’t going to get both.

State what camera you have. You’ve yet to say if it’s a DSLR, or wet film job. Low light photographic techniques are totally different for each. Do you have a tripod?

I have an odd sense of humor.

It’s just a point and shoot Kodak DX7950. Tripods aren’t allowed. Monopods are, though, but aren’t a lot of help.

I was also forbidden from using the internet the past couple days. Oh well.

I originally wanted people to guess because I was afraid if I told it right out, a bunch of people would tell me to get it and it was uncertain at that point whether I would be able to post them quickly. Then my odd sense of humor kicked in and made it a guessing game…a very very poor guessing game. But considering my age, it shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Mutliple Ohka pics soon–perhaps in a couple hours?

Oh dear

Go here:

http://kstudio.net/re.html

And download ReSize – It’ll resize a whole folder full at once…

And for the flat earth society still using Windoze, there’s a PC version too…

And…. It’s free…

Hi Scarecrow,

If you really want some help –

Post on the ‘Tutorial’ Photographic Forum, not here, for the camera / image advice.

State what camera you have. You’ve yet to say if it’s a DSLR, or wet film job. Low light photographic techniques are totally different for each. Do you have a tripod?

Apple Macs will run a huge range of software for images. They come with ‘Preview’ ( OS-10 ) which is useless AFAIK. I use the shareware ‘Graphic Converter’ (Google Search) but the Mac’s not got a bundled program that will do the job. Some have MS Office for Mac, which may have a photo program attached.

Curlyboy’s suggestion is a good one though upload with full size images may be slow.

I presume you can’t plug the camera into the PC? Or it won’t recognise the camera? You could download the camera software across the web as well.

HTH.

If you upload your pics to www.imageshack.us (great hoster) once you have selected your pic look below and select the picture size you want and click upload it will automatically resize that pic then just copy and paste the link thumbnail for forums into you message and it saves chopping you images around.

If you run Windows XP ( not sure about other Windows ), you can right click on the images in your folders, and select “send to”……….”mail recipient”. One of the options before sending is to resize the images smaller. Send them to yourself and they should come back 640 x 480 if memory serves me correctly.

Not much use for MAC operators, but may be useful for others.

I dislike apples. But hey, it isn’t my computer either.

He’s got photoshop on the PC, but I opted not to bring my usb drive…

*sigh* you’ll have to wait until later, I have to go see a museum with two airplanes now…and then back to the other one…

Photography tips would be incredibly welcome. I need recommendations for shooting in low, “dramatic” lighting.

I’m sure you’ve guessed where I am by now.

I rarely use apples. Open the pictures in a photo editing program and see if you can resize or rescale the picture. If you can’t do an internet search for a program to edit pictures… www.tucows.com is a useful site to find free software utilities like this.

Also have a look at the software that came with the camera, there is probably software there that will help.

I personally use either Photoshop or Irfanview… the latter being free to download, but I don’t know if they ahve apple versions of it.

If no one tells me how to edit on an Apple, then you won’t see these pictures until next week.
