Happy shooting!

(90,773 posts)Sort of an ode to alfredo.
Thanks.

(14,890 posts)I always enjoy viewing Alfredo's photos, as I always learn something. And sometimes it's just a head-slap and "why didn't I think of that!"
It's difficult not to enter the contest as I truly like the theme! LOL! hahahahahahhaha!
Solly Mack
(90,773 posts)I was trying to do the same. To show lines and paths.
I love the theme because it offers the opportunity to get better at photography and it's a necessary fundamental - lighting.
The right lighting gives life to even the most simple subject.

(60,074 posts)The cough and mucus is a big bother. I already had a problem with that from my C treatment. The flu just made it worse.
Are you suffering from the flu?

I just made Genfo, an Ethiopian version of Fufu. I made it with Barley and wheat flour. I then made a dipping sauce seasoned with BerBere. Polenta is a good substitute for the Genfo. She is speaking Amharic.

(22,380 posts)your photograph is the first, and your comments seem totally accurate to me,
and seeing you enter a photo again is second.
The wood grain, the light, the crop: perfect photograph.

(90,773 posts)I was shooting an old barn and an old house. Trying to see it as alfredo would see it.

(31,392 posts)I captured the other night, I had to go with the blue hour light I caught on a visit to the island of Bonaire a couple of years ago. No filters. That's it. L'heure bleue as the French say. I don't think I've ever had another shot that captured that lighting. Well, actually I took quite a few shots, but this was the one I liked the best.

(11,795 posts)I've tried to resize, but I think my photo is still too big? Anyone want to take a shot at it?
mnhtnbb
(31,392 posts)Right click on the photo and choose view image info and it comes up sized as 822 x 1024 which meets the size requirements.

(31,392 posts)I've stopped using imgur to post photos for the contest. Had trouble with it saying photos are resized, but they aren't. Plus, apparently, they now have the advanced editing portion of the website disabled due to some kind of problem. Maybe they've fixed the resizing?

(11,795 posts)then edited on my laptop and re-uploaded.
edhopper
(33,587 posts)online editing is often problematic.
edhopper
(33,587 posts)the images are re-scaled by the website to fit the posts. To see them at full size, right-click the image and click "View Image".

(31,392 posts)set to the classic format for web browsers (In your account information)
There are currently at least a couple of entries that need to be resized.
and the size restiction should probably be be bolded.
