Post by: BobDavid on June 28, 2018, 05:01:29 pm: Thanks, Russ. For whatever reason, I'm gravitating towards the 1:1 aspect ratio. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody came out with a square sensor?

left or right?

It's well seen and processed. I can't help feeling, though, that if you'd taken a step to the left, so the sign didn't overlap the tree on the left, it would have been even better.

...but that tree is biased. It suggested I go to the left, north, east, or wherever.

Life is hard with biased trees. It's probably a subject for The Coffee Corner.

Post by: Farmer on June 29, 2018, 06:45:07 pm: This is great. In thumbnail, it compresses the road in a way that makes it look motion blurred, which was also interesting.

It does, doesn't it? I'd not noticed that before. Curious.

Post by: Chris Calohan on July 01, 2018, 08:46:05 am: Since there is only minimal south for me, I wonder why not east or west or left or right...is this the thinking of a narrow mind???

So, curious is you shot for the white of the sign or processed it that way?

The yellow sign appeared to glow--that's what caught my eye. The photo was taken after sunset, around dusk.

I was lost, so I pulled off the road to find directions on my phone.
