Old Rusted Shell - 06-22-2009, 12:21 AM


Not sure if this goes here or in landscape, guessing here though. This is a rusted shell I found in Arkansas a couple of years ago right after my radiation treatments. We were staying at a cabin back in the woods trying to let me relax but I guess I got cabin fever.

So, good, bad, ugly??? Let me have it. Just be gentle because I was sick 8(

When I pull it up on my computer it looks better but it looks out of focus in the post for some reason?

There is no point that is clear. Was this taken from a moving vehicle ?
Camera shake plus mis focus seems to be the culprit.

That's what I can't figure out. When I open it here it looks sharp as a tac, but it looks crappy when I posted it. Could something have happened when it was being posted? I see all these other photos that look great and don't have this problem. I might try posting again later today when I get a chance.

Went back and looked at the original and I think I'm the reason it looks so bad. When I open the original now it looks just like the one I posted (like it was taken with my camera phone). But when I open the exact same photo that I converted to BW it is very sharp and clear. The only thing different between the two s the one I posted is also one I resized just so I could post it on here. I guess I messed it up resizing it. I'm not claiming it was a master piece, nowhere near great, but it was half decent to me and I was really want some opinons on how the shot was set up. Oh well.

Hey thanks Tom. Other than the resolution looking like a 2mp was used is there anything else. Pointers are always good.
