Took the kids out to play, got a few shots.

04/14/2004 03:23:52 PM · #1

Well, we finally got another decent day outside here in Indiana. Kids got outside to play on their playground so I took the opportunity to play with the camera.

Here are a few of the shots I got today.

Full Size Shots Can Be Found Here

This is simply a picture of a cement figurine we have standing in our landscaping in the front lawn.

I had posted a different picture of this one before, but people said the reflection of me in it was distracting. So, I decided to give it another go.

People seemed to like the sundial shot I had taken before, so I decided to go for a different perspective.

Advice and comments would be greatly appreciated!

Hey!

The images are too big. Maybe posting the thumbnails instead would work better, at least for.

I have seen some of the other sun dial shot before & I like 'e, al ot. I really like the sphere shot but wish it was a bit more clear. Maybe a tighter crop would help.

I dig the first shots you have of the figurine and sun dial. The other ones are ok but those are the best ones. I cant really what the shiny thing is, but nice to know you took your reflection out thats never appealing. One thing, you might want to make those images smaller. For A 56ker like me it takes forever.

Good idea. I would use a shallower DOF since the background is of a house.

Yeah, sorry for the size of the images, I'm on a cable modem running a rather large resolution on my screen, so I just assume everybody is doing the same.

I really wish I had more flexability with the camera, but I don't. Any way of getting a shallower depth of field with a camera that only goes from f/2.8 - f/8.0?

Should be a little more 56k friendly now. Sorry for the size.

I don't know how to link thumbnails, so there is a link to the full size pics for those interested.

I can make thumbnails, but apparently you can make a thumbnail of the image with a link to the larger image on here.

gmdi. It's not that someone was offended.
Some people have dial-up internet connections and it takes a great deal of time for a full image to load. It's just a kind consideration to post thumbnails or a smaller sized image with a link to the large image.

Try to keep them under 35 kbs and it should load ok for everyone unless you have 5 or more.

Well, maybe the dial-up should have been mentioned in your first post.

It wasn't a big deal to change it. Hopefully this keeps it a little easier for our dial up friends. There is a link in the original post to the full size versions.

Thanks for changing the sizes. Much better to see the whole picture at once now. I dont think you can post thumbnails unless you have a portfolio which you need a membership to have.
