Hi everybody. I want to post a picture (well in fact I will post a picture), but according to my computer its dimensions are 2848 x 2136. How do I shrink that down into a more friendly size?

Also, criticism of the photo much appreciated. I know it's half behind a piece of wood... I apologise to those it offends, I thought it quite artistic :oops:.


*crosses fingers*

Ah well, that didn't work. Here's a link:

Goldfish,

You are not posting correct link or you are linking a picture which is password protected. I can't comment on the picture.

As for as resizing the picture, you can use PhotoShop. If you don't have one I suggest downloading IrfanView.

Ah yes, sorry. The link hopefully will work now.

Thanks for the link.

Goldfish,

If it wasn't for the distracting driftwood this would be perfect picture with perfect exposure. Keep on snapping and show off your work. I'm looking forward to see more pictures from your gallery.

Wow, that IS good. Tetras and barbs are very difficult, 'cause of their reflective pattern and jerky movement. Jay is right, you did a good job, if you have an original file from the camera, look up the settings and try to duplicate w/out distractions. IT will work :)

Thank you! :) *so proud*

What is duplicating without distractions, and how do I do it?

Merci.

well, the wood is the distraction, compose your shots to have a clear view of the subjects. As far as duplicating, what I meant was look up the EXIF info on the shot (i.e. shutter speed, aperature,....) and use those settings again in Manual mode with similar lighting conditions to achieve similar results. :)

Thanks!
