Sleeping In

Posted by Russ Devan (New Hanover, United States) on 10 September 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

I found this pair of Canada Geese sound asleep in the middle of Perkiomen Creek one foggy morning.

I recently upgraded my AM3 account to an A+ membership for one month to see if the image quality improves as they promise. Let me know if you see any increase in the image quality, which is supposed to be uncompressed.

"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Perfect , soft colours and the reflections in the water really impressive.

I love the sleeping one on one foot; perhaps that's an art I should master - probably burn more calories while sleeping that way. *S*

Russ, I don't know if I can tell about the compression with a single photo, but using Cont+Scroll I can expand this greatly and the clarity is still good.

Sweet one Russ.

I have not seen any difference in the images. How I can tell is by comparing my 2 blogs, one which is the original file that I load onto my FTP completely uncompressed and then the Am3 one which is. I do not see any difference even when I look at them side by side. I load the exact same image to both my blogs and see no difference. Take a look at mine and see if you can tell the difference between them side by side.

Perhaps it would matter if you were to load a larger original size, then if you zoom you might see a difference, but then the smaller ones that most people probably view, might be compromised. I don't know for sure.
