| | | | The file quality is very low--are you resizing them before plugging them into photobucket? I see really bad pixelation and clumping that I don't think is you camera.

| | | | Hey these are really comming along... i am really proud of how hard you are working and how far you have come in only a month or two.
as for the photobucket site, here is what i do, i go into my pics in photoshop, when i am done working on them, and save a copy, with 150 dpi, and change the larger dimension to 900 pixels it seems to work ok, and you get some larger and more detailed pics to post.

| | | | Hey these look good and looks like a good site.
1. Didn't really get what this was taken of even though labeled stairs
2. Really cool handrail
3. Not a big fan of this one but it is cool that it is in the ceiling, I thought it was in the wall
4. Like the detail of the floor although it seems like it could be sharper, prolly just something to do with resizing it
5. Cool outline against the light

I wanted a detail of the hook on the side of the stairs..
I wish i could have gotten closer to that ceiling to make the hole appear larger to get more of the roof, but, whatchyagonna do? I liked it..lol
I have a couple of shots of the floor, so i'll work on that with those..
and i was just goofing off in 5.. lol
Thanks for these!!

| | | | file quality is low... cant tell if its the camera or your compression. everything looks a bit oversaturated and noisey. looks like you enjoy the "shadow/highlight" tool in photoshop a bit too much.

I'm working on file quality... and i didn't photoshop the shadow/highlights. they just came out that way. The stairs were that bright color, no saturation was used. the colors are what you see. In the first set, i saturated the sky a bit to accentuate the smokestacks but that was all.. all i did on these was sharpening mask.
I take that back, I saturated a bit on the hole to make the decay on the ceining stand out more because of the bright sky through the roof.

| | | | Hi Irish.. as was said above, your shots are really coming along nicely! Can you give us a little detail about your camera? At the size we are viewing them, they shouldn't be pixelated as they are. Possibly not shooting as large as a file format as you can, noise reduction or jpeg compression could be at fault.

| | | | I use a Canon Powershot A75.. maybe that's the problem... lemme check and see what sze i have it on... yeah. that's it. it's on 640x480... der der... i think i had it that way before for something else and never changed it.. i'll change that when we go back there next month so that i can have a better set.
Do they look ok composition wise?

| | | | You're definitely getting better compositionally speaking. A few of these are nice shots but its hard to discern what they really are. For example #2 has a great feel but its hard to make out the steps on the left. Zooming out just a touch would still give you the handrail as the major subject but a little more of the stairs would add perspective and tell a little more of the story.
Keep it up Irish! You're definitely on the right track.

Thanks!! I see what you're saying totally about the stairs.. most of these I couldn't see for sun glare so didnt really know what they looked like until I uploaded 'em.. I like little random things like the rail and doorknobs and metal what-nots on the ground.. When I get back down there, I'll get a better shot of these stairs. They have great color and texture. I'm a sucker for good texture. ^_^

| | | | ALright, I've messed with the settings on my camera and I think I have fixed the pixelation prob I had before...
This is a detail from a letter dated Jan. 15, 1950, found at the back of a stack of papers I brought home to pull apart and dry. It states that Ford Construction Co. rejected some steel that was sent to them from Ensley because it had the wrong ratio of iron and insolubles (slag, I presume), and will pay Ensley Iron for the load they approved. I thought it was interesting and just a test to see how the resize came out.

| | | | What's your ISO set to? Also, this leter has a decidely yellow feel to it. Is the paper really that yellow or are you shooting under incandescent lighting?

it's really that yellow... it's probably been in that room for at least 20-30 years. its really brittle and a few of the pages are just dust on my floor now.
my iso right now is 50, for the paper. it was 200 for the others, which is way too high, i know.. i didnt know it was set that way before we went out there..

what camera are you using? because these feel camera phone quality.
|
we have already discussed why those look like that. I had the size too small on the camera. So, it's not actually the quality of camera I have, but the forgetfulness of it's owner to change the size of the file in the camera.

Perfect... I couldn't tell if it was digital noise or the paper decaying on the left side of the frame. The quality is definitely better then your previous ones and, to me, its just a cool shot.
