I did what Karen said and formatted at 480 pixels on the short side, and the pictures are now uploading clear and sharp again. Thankx, Karen.

This is awesome, Aggie. I can feel the coolness and hear the stream. Wish I was there right now... #6249077Aggie Villanueva July 30, 2008
Thank you. I'm glad you like it. It was taken in daytime, so bright I had to use a 3-stop ND filter and a polarizer, and still some water spots blew out.When I worked on it, the day shots were OK, but it just needed more magic, so I converted to a nightfall look, and added the setting sun's beams. #6249146

Your editing is terrific here, Aggie. I love the subtle beams and the blue tones of night. #6335032Aggie Villanueva August 20, 2008
Thankx so much, Dawn and Nikki. I miss everyone! Hopefully things will calm down soon and I can spend time with you all again. Have the best day! #6336566Joyce A. Meck August 24, 2008
Aggie - this is really beautiful!! Tell me what settings you used! Is this one of your new LONG exposures with the new equipment?Aggie Villanueva August 24, 2008
Thankx, Joyce. It was f/18 and shutter was 0.3. I still don't understand exactly how much time 0.3 actuall IS, but I know it was slower. Luckily there was no wind that day and I used a tripod, so nothing blurred but the water. This is the day Karen Waters and I went shooting. #6359077Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
