Congratulations! I remember how excited I was when one of mine was chosen. I got a grainy screen shot of the Earthcam (had to watch it for a while before it sycned up with the camera pointint at while my photo was on). I think it runs until midnight NY time. Too bad people are missing your shot with the billboard down!

Ah-ha! I saw the big screeen on the live webcam and could see the Kodak logo but couldn't see any pictures, I thought maybe it was the angle of the sun or something. Thanks for trying, I appreciate it! |

The POTD feed was still down when I left Times Square about 4:30 p.m.
I just checked online at:
//www.earthcam.com/usa/newyork/timessquare/
If you watch CAM 1 for awhile, it will include the Kodak sign, and you can see the little red letters "Kodak.com" in the space where your photo should be! Well, it's a long weekend and hopefully it will be fixed. I'll try again later in the weekend.
By the way, congratulations on having your photo picked! |

Wow! Congratulations, Karen! That photo is so amazing -- and what phenomenal success it has had! I hope you can get some kind of picture of it on the big screen. That is awesome!

| Hey karen, when I had one on there, I went to earthcam.com and got a screen shot of it. It's not the best but it worked. You go to the Times Square camera and just keep watching. It took awhile but if you miss it, just wait and it'll show again. You can zoom too. |

Remeber the big-screen image is made up of discrete pixels, which may interact with the sensor array in your camera to produce moire effects. The ways to mitigate this effect are:
-adjust to various zoom levels
-angle the camera 30° or 45° to the display screen
-very slightly de-focus
Congratulations Karen! |

Interestingly enough, this is one of my favorite images on the site and definitely one of my favorite shots of yours Karen yet I hadn' marked it as a favorite.
Congrats and thanks again for sharing this great image!

| Thanks for the advice, guys. Not to worry, Karen, it's in the neighborhood. Plus it will give me an excuse to go to the cigar store nearby afterwards. :-D |

Wow, thanks, but don't go out of your way. I really don't care what the quality of the image is like, just seeing it there will be good enough. :) |

Shoot Manual and make adjustments. Chimp the shot until it looks right. |

Good idea! We have plenty of newyorkers here. Hopefully one of them will be able to get a shot of her photo displayed on the big screen. |
