Photo Forum / Film Photography / 35 mm / January 2006NOT SHOT WITH A D20!
I shot this a week ago with a range finder and 400 watt second Ikelite strobe. Velvia. On board flash units just don't have enough power. http://www.pbase.com/uw_wayne/image/55371946 Obviously! > I shot this a week ago with a range finder and 400 watt second Ikelite > strobe. Velvia.

Scott But you have to admit that it was amusing to pick that image and complain about not enough flash power... I could not get two 400 watt strobes like I waned. Too much curret to hold onto the gear. Yeah, the stobe was fired all out at f5.6 >>I shot this a week ago with a range finder and 400 watt second Ikelite >>strobe. Velvia.

Come on Chris it has nothing to do with the camera and everything to do with how the photo was saved after it was edited. When the photo was saved it was save at far to low a quality setting. If it was highly desirable to keep the file size as small as it is then reducing the size of the image before saving would have made a lot of sense. Keep in mind that this is an image with around 35MP but only uses 1.4MB. That is a compression ratio of 75:1 which goes well past what jpg can do with out big problems, problems that are clearly visible in the image.

If I think this is a problem with the image I will say so, like this http://groups.google.com/group/rec.photo.digital/browse_frm/thread/6c86695eeb044 ff3/2f610fbb886abe9b?lnk=st&q=biphoto&rnum=99&hl=en#2f610fbb886abe9b Where I said "I downloaded on image Nature_A. I don't know what is wrong but it looks pretty bad, full of noise, black specks. There are also a lot of places where the detail seems to be just gone." Scott Any idea where I can buy that one? Setting apertures, shutter speeds, manually focusing and then having to do a mental calulation on the flash output is getting to be too much. It would help too if the marine life forms would model and not move so damn fast.. But the original Tiff is ot > But the original Tiff is ot I am sure this is true, I was speaking to how you posted the photo, which have far too much compression. Here is another example that could be a very good photo but is compressed way to much http://www.pbase.com/uw_wayne/image/53110458/large When photos are compressed to this degree the sky starts to band and we see squares everywhere. It would be much better to resize a bit smaller and use a high quality setting. With just some small changes you online photos could look a whole lot better. Scott Thanks |
