Now Michele I can understand regards sand & beach..” You love it” this one it looks more abstract blues and whites are always my fever! I recommend tripod do to the fine sand can easily blur, sometimes wide apertures can cause that too, and usually I shoot between f8 and 11 and holding my breath for 10 to 15 seconds using center weight on manual mode!!!

Thank You Onie- love your enthusiasm .... it is wonderful - makes us all feel so special- (works for me I know this much -lol)))
Geez....You've just remeinded me that Doyle has not yet seen this either- he has sooooo much going on (like another person I know)))) I don't know how he manages....
My first 'Wet Sand' image I did almost exactly one yr. ago - and Doyle made me a special frame and encouraged me about liking the idea, etc. I don't think anyone else even commented---haha!!! and since then he has been a faithful mentor- the King Of Cool-
Best teacher I have ever known honestly.....always says a positive before the critical mistake... and by the time he's done you have learned a Lot ... and feel like you've been complimented -
He's just very patient and full of information- well I am sure You know this - sprinkeled with Humor that means soooooooo much !!!!
Thank YOU for your great comments Onie !!!

A lovely Thank you to Doyle... It is special when someone encourages and mentors with friendship and care...:)))
Wonderful composition and love the *graininess*...:)))( besides the sand lol)
Excellent plus heaps... :)

Thank YOU John - I am stumped about this image too- I like it small but not as much en-larged... it is both sharpened, and then again a 'glow' which sort of softens it- could not decide myself but appreciate your comment !

AH yes, this is the max of memory size, ie, 400kB, thats kilobytes,. normaly when i down size the pixels, the kilobyte size goes down automaticly,. good luck,. regards art,.

Me again ART I think I was using the wrong word ... Images are not to exceed 400k
( not sure what it is -*K's)) but many of my images seem to exceed this limit and one is the wet -sand image ... does this help ?
I have also ask Dave Arnold to explain this as he explained it to me when I first ran into my problems about sizes too large....
Best to You,
Michele~

i think i see where you get this 400 fig from, this is a minimum requirement,. the maximum is 850x850 total 722,500 pixels per image as stated in the usefilm FAQs,. lol,. i do hope we get this sorted soon, i'm getting confused with my own figures, tehe,. all the best to you michele,. regards art,.

The total Pixel size for any image up-load is 400- and recently for attatchments it is 360 pixels.... I know I calculate that the best I can which is not normal math but it does depend on what you're trying to up-load If its a busy image with much detail you will notice this immediately if you try to up-load it-- In BIG RED Print comes the writing- 'Image too large for u-load'
If it is simple with lots of sky and large space no problems.... now with sand there is many considerations- Just try it you will see what I mean--- I thought like YOU did until it didn't work anymore :))
And I know anyone else could explain this better than I have :)) Beleive me if I could up-load a larger file size I certainly would - I always give it a try:))
It's Ok if we don't understand each other-
One day - it might just click :)
All the best,
Michele~

greetings michele,. not sure where your getting these figures of 408 & 360 from,. attachments can be 750x750 and normal uploads 850x850=722500, i allways upload just under this 722500px fig,. hope this helps, i'm sure doyle know's more than i about such things, or even a quicker more simple way of down sizeing for uploading,. much regards art :¬)

Hi Jan, No this was not cropped at all...
I took this image in a VERY large file size- 2256 X 1496 and I think this is what caused my problems at the begining because it was toooooooo grainey.... for me-
I mean the sand is grainey of course but in my image the sand was larger than life and I wanted it to be just like I saw it ..which was about the swirl from the water...so I added a 'glow' which diminished the HUGE grain detail -
It works at a small size but I am not happy with it blown up (?) Most others question it en-larged as well-
Thank You for your interest You 'abstract' organic Man ..(ha!)
Best to You,
Michele~

Hi Art,
Thank You for your comment and I totally agree with you .... I wish I could send this in the file size I'd taken it in which was 2256X1496 pixels and maybe this contributes to part of the problem... I did get it down to 408 pixels and hope I can send it to you thru as an attatchment so you can see there is not a lot of difference... I don't do much in post processing... just tried to bring out the dark and light colors a bit more, and also to use a 'glow' to cut out some of the natural grain of the sand..... anyway I have had much better results in the typical large size here on UF so now I am really thinking that my super large file size could have been the ruin for this image en-larged(?)
Thank You for your comment, it is appreciated and also if you can figure out what happened I would like to know your thoughts...
Regards,
michele~
Geez it's got to be 360 pixels now - so must re-size again :(

Michele -- It is all about the swirl and the color. Was this cropped a lot? That may be why the texture does not hold the detail.
Or was it your intention to diminish the detail to emphasize the color? Very pleasant viewing either way.
--Best to you, Jan

Dear Michele
This one caught my eyes immediately. Beautiful soft tones and an amazing swirl or braid through the water! You love small streams full of energy? I do too- we really must meet in Oregon once and walk in nature!
Have a nice day

Hi Ian, Thank You for the suggestion... I think more dof would help --- because oddly enough I like this image more as a thumnail than blown up very big.... yet not sure how to make that happen when the sand it virtually flat, I could destroy this tiny image with one foot:(
Much appreciation for your time my friend.
Best wishes,
Michele~
