It fell off the hillside and landed in my driveway

[splinter99]

this is from a locust tree that fell in my drive a year ago.. also a tiger maple cigar

a few slimlines from some corrian that airrat sent me..this is my first experience with this stuff and I like it!!

sorry about the poor pic quality

Harold,

They look nice from what I can see. Did you use a tripod? If not, that would be a good purchase. Good pens deserve good photos! []

 

[splinter99]

its an old camera..1.3 megapixils..will get something better when I stop spending so much on pens [] they look ok untill I crop them, then they get blurry..

 

[gerryr]

They should not get blurry just because they were cropped. Does the camera have a macro setting? I shoot all my photos on a tripod with the macro setting. You might try downloading Picaca2, its free, and has a "sharpen" function which might help.

 

[splinter99]

no macro setting just a pic quality selection..I tried them all and none seem any better..I'll try some kind of tripod next time..or a couple of shots to steady my shootin hand[]

from your top picture above it looks like your focus may have been off. look at the wood grain in the upper right corner. it's hard to be sure but that looks pretty well focused. looking at the grain in the wood as it gets closer to the pen the focus begins to fade. the second photo I can't really decide what happened. I see definite signs of camera movement but that would not explain all of it. the bright spots turned to halos. makes me think it's something your editing software did. maybe adding a special effect and you don't know it or something. this might be pixilation from cropping the picture but keeping it the original size as well. 1.3 meg should be enough to get pictures for posting. it's in printing them that they would suffer. I take my posting pictures at 1 meg and still crop and size them for posting here.

Uh. It looks like that locust tree might have landed on your camera!

They do appear to be some nice woods though!

Glad your enjoying the corian Harold. When you crop your pictures are you resizing them? make sure you maintain the ratio.

 

[jdavis]

Work on photos should not be fuzzy due to crop

 

[splinter99]

see if this is any better

You crack me up Fangar!


Those pens look nice but I can't wait to see a better picture. The tripod will help as will the proper settings.
