UK Community Photo Competition for w/e 29 June - Disney At Night DISCUSSION

[poohmadmum]

Thanks for the tips, Matt. I'll have to have a practice with fireworks photos when we go away in the summer. I have a new camera now and hoping that it will be better at night than my old one. It is certainly better on battery life! Your photos are amazing.

Matt, with you in the picture (no pun intended) I think we should all just give up

Thanks Matt for all your help.Think I will try and find some night shots here to take before going to Disney in October, so I can experiment with different shutter speeds etc. Would really like to get some good ones.

Thanks Matt and I love that first photo - I remember it from one of the earlier comps. I am really going to try and get some decent firework / spectro shots as mine have been crap so far

I'm enjoying this week's entries. Bev, I hope you don't mind me saying this, but I think your entries lack impact due to their size. I don't know whether or not you normally get many votes, but I think you would improve your score if you can work out a way to bring them up to the size of the other entries (and of course this applies to anyone who is posting smaller images). Let us know how you're hosting them and I'm sure we can help.

Thanks for the advice Deb . The images are the biggest ones I can upload (I believe). This site is hosting them. I tried reducing my photos down to 550 pixels but then I was informed (by the site) that the file size was too large, the biggest I could upload was 300 dpi. So please feel free to offer any guidance. Not too worried about the lack of votes the quality of the competition is outstanding so to be honest having larger photos probably won't make that much of a difference. It is just fun getting to see everyone's photos and plus give me new ideas for photos in August.

Bev, we upload all ours to Photobucket - a very popular hosting site. We save them for web in Photoshop first (but I guess you could do the same with any Photo editing software). Play around with the pixel sizes - we usually set the longest side (depending on whether it's portrait or landscape) to 900 pixels.
