New to site - 2 of fav shots: Clownfish & Bumblebee

[bfischer]

Well... I'm new to the site and love what I see so far.... just getting back into 'real' photography after quite a break. These happen to both be with my old point and shoot but just love the way they came out and thought I'd share. Comments/suggestions always appreciated but not req'd (I know, that's other forum)

Clownfish:
cannon powershot A640
underwater setting
shutter speed 1/318
f4.1
focal 29mm
exposure time 1/320 sec
all these were preset except the zoom which I chose (obviously)
I did have to adjust the colours in PP afterwards a bit and crop

Bumblebee

Very cool! Love the colors of the clownfish & his positioning in the shot. Love the bumblebee too - especially like how he's clinging on upside down with his little legs!

Thanks guys... appreciate it!

Question... I noticed that my images came out thumbnail size (I posted as 800px on the long edge as recommended), yet some images come out larger in posts (near screen size)... any idea how I do that for future?

Welcome to the DPS family Barry

These are both brilliant shots. I love the colour of the clownfish and the way you've captured it swimming into the shot. And the bee one is superb.

I load my photos from flickr size medium which is recommended.

Thanks for sharing.
