A rather large engine at the Kyoto Rail Museum. Unfortunately the background is rather busy but the viewpoint was limited. Right behind is an active railway with wires and such.  |

Hi Phil,
.
Nice shot, but it's also a rather large picture at 1283 pixels wide and it's stretched everything sideways so I have to scroll to read any texts. Do you think you could remake it at about 750 pixels wide please.
Sorry to be a nuisance.
Peter

Phil...just a little large there.  Nice picture though. It's nice to see what a 'HUDSON' from another country looks like. |

Sorry Guys
My bad!
I find that sometimes it resizes downwards enough and sometimes it doesn't. They are originally about 3 Mb (shot from a 6 Mp camera) I am obviously missing something important when I go to post them.

Phil: Are you resizing your images before you post them on PhotoBucket? I've never used that service, so I don't know how it decides to size images, if it even does! If you are using a software program like PhotoShop (or any one of the many other image manipulation programs), you can make your pictures any dimension (800 pixels or smaller and you don't have to scroll on this forum) before you post them, and set the file size of the image at 72dpi. Image quality is not affected online, since 72dpi is the default for most monitors (although the physical dimensions may vary, I never post any of my pictures with a file size larger than 72dpi). Sorry to be negative, because I love the shot, but I'm afraid I'm with Peter on this one...the image is so wide it causes everything around it to scroll to be read!  |

The only thing that I did a bit differently for that shot (other than realize that the camera was on Manual with 1/1000 and f8 on an overcast day) I had to seriously brighten up the image and I croppped out a lot of junk top and bottom making the image appear wider but shorter. I think it is partly the cropping I did that accounts for the width rather than the absolute size.
