Just tooling around with the camera and took this out of focus shot(oops) of the southern cross and I kind of like it.



What do you think, interesting, or did I waste space for another image?

It kinda blended in with my screen because it is so dirty! Interesting pic tho!

Btw, with a little bit of help from a laser star projector. The image above is a 20 second exposure and not touched up at all.

Up from Canberra today to visit family Nth of Sydney had to have a look...

this thread is horrible to scroll through until all the images have loaded!!

This is a panoama I made the other day down in the South-West at a friend's farm. It was pretty impulsive (middle of the day, not much good for scenery photos you'd think..) but I'm pleased how it turned out

What was REALLY weird was that when I lined the frames up in photoshop - i.e put that bush over that bush to match the features - the edges of the photos lined up PERFECTLY.

Feedback and criticism welcome

After the storm today

What a lovely shot.
Everyone loves a Cavalier, our 'Patches' turned 11 just a few weeks ago.

Ok. Firstly:
Stop whining. It is a random photography thread of 31 pages. What did you think?

MacTalk image uploaders are fine. The link very well with the likes of flickr and imageshack. Upload your photos to a proper photo uploading site and link to them. Simple.

Rather than complaining, offer suggestions or potential solutions.

Your photo is lovely. The openness, as well as the water suggests a feeling of tranquility. The image from right to left, dark to light, draws your eye over the complete image allowing you to look at it again and again. The colours may be a touch too saturated. Great work.

Maybe start another 3.0 thread and then everyone MUST Link?

Pictures I took while walking, not bad for 1.3mp setting as I was running low on space(1GB memory card). Google Maps is your friend if you're really bored and trying to guess the city

Scottgrot, thanks for your appraisal of my photo. I hear ya about the saturation; people say that about a lot of my pics after they've been 'shopped. In this image it was only some colour and curves that were adjusted.

I don't want to get on your arse about this, but there is no photo 'uploader' that I can see - only a button that asks for a photo URL. That means I have to supply the larger photo and a thumbnail size photo to use as an image placeholder/link.

If i were using flickr etc I guess that would give me a 'embed' block of code (like youtube?) that includes all that stuff. (I'm not, the photo is just on my web host, so there's no other way to do that)

My suggestion : Implement a mechanism for a user to upload an image from their computer OR a URL, and then resize that on the server using imagemagick or whatever, then insert little 'galleries' into posts with a thumnail-sized image preview that, when clicked, loads the full image (but not so that the browser goes to that image and the user has to click 'back' to get back to the thread, and also so that the user doesn't have to go to a new window)

Maybe something like this is in the works for mactalk 2.0..?

This would also have the added benefit of making images inserted into post carry a 'Height="x" Width="y"" parameter, which would mean that I could scroll through the thread as the images load, as the browser renders placeholders. As it is now, the page jumps around each time a portion of an image loads, which means I have to wait for the entire thread to load before I can actually easily view the pics.
