Upturned Boats

[CanonChrissy]

These upturned boats are used as sheds for the fishermen on The Holy Island Of Lindisfarne, Northumberland, England. It has a fantastic history and is a tidal island where you drive across a causeway. Last year, on a solo trip (my hubby was away), I set off alone for the weekend. Having checked the tide times, I was lucky to be able to stay on the island for sunset and then return the next morning for sunrise. My sunset shots were nothing special but this is the sunrise, with two exposures, one for the sky and one for the foreground. I hope you like it. It was my 1st attempt and combining two shots and I really struggled. Thanks for looking.

That's a very pleasing image - I've tried to photograph these boats myself but I've never really had any success.

 

Good stuff!

This image is small here, however, viewed large, theres an aeroplane trail that really makes the image

Love the low angle, you have managed to cut out all the clutter the lies around the sheds Its a wonderful place, I really must make the effort to go again

Im struggling getting the images larger on here..How cam I get a large image with the small 300KB size available. Am I doing something wrong?

It's actually 500KB Chrissy. 

 

But if you have a JPEG and save it as a medium quality picture (which is fine for computer displays), longest side 1024 px, you should be well within the limit

 

(Your original post here shows up as being 44KB so you have a LOT of room to play with!!)

[CanonChrissy]

Very confused by this...when I go to upload an image, it says 300, and I reduce my image to just under 300. It wont let me upload anything over 300. It alsowont allow me to upload more than 1 image per post.

 

This is the message I get (copied & pasted)

 

   You can upload up to 300KB of files (Max. single file size: 300KB)

 

The boat pic must have been reduced for something else. Will see if I have it larger.

Good to see a new view of this icon of a photographic subject. I Like it!

Chrissy.....

Try using my method of posting to TIPF...I use Photoshop.

After processing then saving your original RAW or whatever.......make a copy.

Reduce the copied image to 1024 mp on the longest side, then click SAVE AS..... Choose JPEG then ( I add the word Forum to the title) this should bring up a slider, slide this back to 7.

Save these forum bound JPEGS in a chosen folder, they can also be used for emails.

To post just use the TIPF ADD IMAGE instructions.

Will try that, thanks.

In photoshop use File/ Save for web and devices

 

You can post quite a large picture by reducing the files size using this without compromising quality.

 

If you use Lightroom pm me and I'll post a screen shot.

I'd agree with this except for one thing : I find Photoshop JPEGs to be larger than those created in other apps. If you use a Mac, Preview will save smaller without compromising quality, if Windows then I'd guess something like the pre-installed Paintbox?

 

However, even Photoshop will do if no other alternative is to hand. What I can't understand is the 300KB limit, when ?the rest? of us get 500KB.

[CanonChrissy]

Thats why I was puzzled when I was told youhave 500....maybe a mod can help ? Maybe its cos my images are to AWESOME I don't need big ones haha!

Use save for web which will reduce it from 300dpi to 72dpi which in turn allows you to upload a larger version. It does however strip the exif data. Super image though well done

[CanonChrissy]

Try this one....hmmmmm better on here but not better when it's clicked on!

[ChrisLumix]

Haha - you've got the right file size ... but you forgot the rule about having the longest side only 1024 pixels!
