On the edge of Salka/[Ipoly]szalka, near the recently opened border of Hungary and Slovakia, looking towards the outliers of the Burda mountain. There is a very faint, flat rainbow in the picture.

Aint' it?

Yet, for the photographer, the best photos are those not made. Waiting in hope of a better vantage point later, I missed the opportunity of a photo in the opposite direction, with the Sun shining upon falling snow in front of the Börzsöny mountains a few kilometres away, framed by a black cloud above and right.

Are they real medieval people? Do you have a time machine you haven't told us about?

Of course, but it's only in the experimental stage and only my camera goes back.  The next thing I'm going to try is to get in it myself and see if I can go back about thirty five years.

Hmm, i believe this is against flickr user agreement or something... maybe i shouldn't have done it... feel free to delete it, if possible. If not, sorry...

Is it not your own photo?  I guess if you acknowledge the source it should be ok. I can't check until I get home, certain sites are off limits through work firewall.

It is my photo but flickr seems to prefer we use the "embed" version, where the photo links to flickr. I was getting HTML errors when trying to do it, so i tried the Eurotrib user recommendations for posting pictures.

This is what they say:

Remember! Flickr Community Guidelines specify that if you post a Flickr photo on an external website, the photo must link back to its photo page. (So, use Option 1.)

I'd fail to worry about that! What error were you getting?
by Colman (colman at eurotrib.com) on Fri Mar 28th, 2008 at 01:16:24 PM EST

Your HTML has the following error :

    * Attribute TITLE for tag A is not allowed

The image seems to post allright, its the link embedding that seems to be the problem.

It doesn't feel like it but Spring is busting out in my garden. Taken 20 minutes ago.

The detail on the swan is incredible. What lens did you use?

These were all taken with my crappy Fuji S7000.

The swan is quite a tight crop, with some Noise Ninja to smooth out the wrinkles.

Fair bit of sharpening afterwards?
by Colman (colman at eurotrib.com) on Fri Mar 28th, 2008 at 02:55:41 PM EST
[ Parent ]
None at all, except for bicubic sharper while resizing.

I think it's partly down to Noise Ninja, which brings out the detail by removing the noise - it's slightly less sharp overall, but all of the important details are clearer, so it looks more detailed.

Also, I lost an arm just after taking this.

But I wasn't going to mention it.

I'm guessing the swan didn't like the close-up photo.

you are the media you consume.

Huh. Mind you, I don't think I've used NN on a picture with a lot of detail like that. Still getting used to it.

What ISO were you using?
