Saturday Night Dive

[dave s]

I had to include the weird one as well.
A few photos taken on saturday night. The small crab is hiding in a scallop shell.

Any hints etc please.

Hey Dave. Cool pics.
On the last one are those congers in the background?

One tip:

Reduce the width of the picture to 8-900 pixels across. That way the pics will fit in on most screen and it makes it easier to watch.

Hi Kyrre,

Ref the last photo, no congers just mushroom like things.

Can you help explain how I reduce the size of my photos.

Thanks for your tips.

In any photoeditor there'll be a point in the menu where it says "Change Size" or just "Size" or something similar.
If you find it there'll be a box where you change the width and the height. A landscape could be around 900 pixels since most screens are set to about 1100 pixels wide or more.
I like to do my standing photos at about 700 pixel width, that way you don't have to scroll down to see most of the pic.



Also it makes it better for speed and up-/downloadtime if you reduce the quality of the picture. Most people won't notice if you change the quality of the picture to about 60%.



Oh, and do remember to use "Save As" when working with pictures. If you just press "Save" you might lose the original picture.

Thanks Kyrre,

The only resizing tool I can find is the microsoft one and it resizes pic for a palm computer.

Will keep trying.

Hi Dave,

get the PixResizer - a small, free and easy tool for resizing pix - either one at a time, or several.

Also, I believe that the "conger-like" stuff on the last picture actually are ascidians - Ciona intestinalis.
