There are two rules that will improve 99% of all photographs...

1) Brighten it.
2) Crop it. (AKA, get closer to your subject)

ETA: If I knew any of the other rules, I'd be a much better photographer. ;)

agreed. the sensor on your camera flattens a 3d image, so to get that pop brightness and contrast are needed. I feel like I finally can effectively sharpen also, that helps a TON!

They make the fricken update button an extra for members.. That's just wrong..

07/16/2008 01:11:53 AM · #194

in the meantime my update button is my green refresh arrows at the top of my page that I push exactly 10 minutes after the hour

Hey, I can't seem to figure out how to put my jersey's on my profile page or our team banner.. Can anyone tell me how to do this.. I had the team banner but after it was fixed and I tried to redo it with out copying what James had posted it didn't work.. I want my page to look like sugarpie's.. :-)

07/16/2008 08:15:31 AM · #196

Sugarpie,

Check your e-mail. I have sent you he secret for unlocking the update button.

07/16/2008 09:23:35 AM · #197

WOW, I guess I am a horrible judge of what works and what doesn't.

I have submitted photos that I thought would be personal bests that end up in the 4's. And my latest entry (Beverages) I thought would bomb, but alas....
