For those who don't prowl the Photography forum, I present for your viewing pleasure a few of my latest SPS pics. For those who do, I apologize if you've seen these already.

wow Ken those pics are amazing. When is the photography meeting. Kim has a Nikon D50 and I know she would love to take some sweet tank pics.

What camera and lens are you using?

 

[Reef Bass]

Thanks Owen. We have a guest speaker coming in October and another in December. Maybe the November meeting.

Canon EOS 50D with Canon 100mm macro lens.

Sorry, I had a decimal point mistake with my phosphates level above. It's 0.01, not 0.1.

Reef Bass,
Did you rework that photo any? resize etc. before sending it to them?
I took a photo of the Blue Angels this weekend in Redding, and I want to enter it. Steve's website used to have some rules posted about adjustments and I do not see them anymore.....
I wanted to do a minimal color adjustment, and resize before uploading it.

 

[Reef Bass]

Yeah I looked around on the site for format guidelines and didn't find any. There is a rules page but it didn't specify size or bit depth. I submitted a screen resolution version (72dpi, 840x600 'cuz it was a 5x7 aspect ratio shot).

I guess they removed them, that site has been completely redesigned in the last few months, and so has this one in the last few days.
I logged on and sheeesh:spin2:
