Nightmare there and gone
« on: October 12, 2022, 05:50:13 PM »
Imagine jumping this fellow and catching a 2 second glimpse of him before he was gone.   A buck of a lifetime.  Would you even get your gun unshouldered?  :chuckle:    I about had a heart attack....

While you have captured some amazing deer, some of your posts seem overly Dr.'d up. Why?

Compression syndrome.   You take a 30mb photo that’s the size of a poster, and reduce it down to roughly a 3x5 image. It’s required to be jpeg. It distorts it all to hell. IHATE IT.   That’s the only thing I can tell. Something changed awhile back between uploading to photobucket and here that made it way worse.

Saving it as a tif  helps tremendously.  You can upload tifs to Facebook but not here.  One of several reasons I post less than I used to.  Having to worry about what you saved your file as, saving two copies, sizing it right for here versus there, all kind of a pain after awhile, especially if you post the photo and there is little interest.

Agree, nice deer. But, a bit spindly in my opinion.  Young deer?  I’d take a dozen inches off for some mass. Great pic though, as usual!
