PF Photography: Tips, Tricks, & Photo Sharing

In summary, this thread is for photography. Hosting your photos can be done using http://imageshack.us/", and a maximum image size of 640x480 is recommended. Photos that are too dull can be improved by adjusting the color balance. There is a free Image Manipulation programme called GIMP that can be used to touch up photos. For those interested, there is a link to a tutorial on how to use GIMP in the thread's last post.

@davenn - thanks!

There is an "airstrip" (actually just a piece of land) used by RC folk half mile from here. I was there flying my model, but I took my camera with me as well. Once I landed I started to take pictures, and there was a guy with a glider with LEDs mounted in the wings, so I asked him if he can make an approach from the Sun. He said "yes" and now we are both happy :smile:

See, now that's what I would have picked.
Not the least reason because those birds in the mist are Grebes - a protected species in our lagoon in the park (kind of the point of the Photo contest). I'd have thought it was a shoe-in.

They went with cobweb and dragonfly.
