Uploading Images - SIZING QUESTION (help?)

Posted by: Leia, 6:37 PM GMT on May 31, 2010

The uploading page says that if you would like your image considered for World View that it needs to be 950 pixels wide.

I uploaded an image at that size and when shown here in the galleries, the largest size it displays at is 406 wide.

Naturally, that does horrid stuff to detail and sharpness. Reducing a shot by over 50% just doesn't do it justice.

Does anyone know why it reduced so much?? Is it due to file size? I saved it at max resolution for the dimensions. Do I need to upload it at a much lower resolution? Is there a total file size restriction??

For those who are curious:

Here is a full size shot of what I uploaded (CLICK HERE) .

Here is what viewers are seeing.

See the difference?

I got back to my office and told the girls there the same thing.There was laughter. We don't typically get to...

Rotating Funnel Cloud in Washington?

Posted by: Leia, 1:51 AM GMT on October 05, 2007

I stepped out of the Vancouver (Washington) mall this afternoon and saw a perfectly formed white funnel reaching downward to the ground. Watching, I noticed that the black wisps of clouds at the very top (just beneath the canopy) were quickly moving counter clock-wise around the outer edge of the very upper portion of the funnel. It was a small distance away, but very visible. Naturally, I kicked myself repeatedly for not having ANY cameras on me. By the time I got...
