Picture of the day...

[freebooter]

Would a full 2592x1944 photo fit on this forum page and how would I do it?

I don't think posting such a big photo would be advisable. Better to put up a pic that most people can view all at one go, without scrolling and panning. A size of roughly 800 x 600 or 900 x 650 might be a good target. There is also the "quality" of save to deal with. Once you have the size you think you want, you can try different quality levels to see how small you can get it without visibly loosing color and detail. I'm by no means even close to an expert but that's what i've figured out so far. I'm sure there are a variety of tricks one can apply to get max quality at a minimum of file size. One of these days I'll get around to learning more about it.

I love these "slice of life" photos -- allows me to travel vicariously to places I've never been. Not so sure I'd care to smell the kimchi though...

Don't normally post around these parts, but I loved this shot today, so thought I would share it. It's at Ghost Lake, Alberta, Canada.

Walk Da Rock, In Yo Sock

Canon A95
Daegu, South Korea​

One of the unique features of most parks in Daegu are these rocky walkways. Based on the accupressure theory of health promotion, one limps (painfully) along these long lanes of longevity. Most often, one sees the elderly walk the path of pain. I do it sometimes, and man it feels great, when I stop.

Did you experience "lost time" by any chance?

 

[adamberti]

Sweet. I know that place. nice shot!

So how do you happen to know Ghost Lake?

 

[freebooter]

So how do you happen to know Ghost Lake?

I was born in AB, and hiked around those parts. Moved to BC for the mountains and...onwards.

What is that exactly supposed to mean?

 

[freebooter]

What is that exactly supposed to mean?

A ufo abduction reference. Ufo sighters routinely report "losing time" after having seen a ufo. Later, under hypnotic regression, they recall an abduction experience.
The lights in your photo look like some peoples' ufo pictures.

 

[Whiteapple]

Oh. I thought that represented some kind of "flame", which I found to be rather misplaced🙄

EDIT: I checked around the Internet for that stuff, and it seems rather funny actually. Good call!
