 |
|
I don't really like winter. Like our scaly friends I prefer heat. But sometimes winter can give you some nice surprises. Last week it got quite cold, between -2 and -6 or 8 C day and night. Added to that we had a few days of fog, very grey and unpleasant. But the result was that everything got a white coating, like it had been sprinkled with sugar. And when the sun came out it looked like this
you can see its all small ice crystals, we had virtually no snow
That was yesterday. We went out to enjoy this winter wonderland and we were not alone. I'm glad we did, its all gone now  But then that makes it more special, wouldn't be fun if we had this every day. |

Can you try and keep pictures to around 600x500 tho mate  |
Why? They look OK @1280x960
I'll try to remember it next time. To be honest, I've always used 800x600 and never had a comment. Are there still that many people using 800 x 600 screen resolution? Any res higher than that and I see no problem. |

I saw that somewhere else in the forum. But isn't that only if you view at a 800x600 resolution? Or am I overlooking something? Not trying to argue here, I'm messing around bit with a site I'm making and I want to have the best possible settings of course
I normally use 1290 x 960, but even at 1024 x 768 I see no distortion, the pics fit perfectly, no scrolling needed. |

When the road is converted into a four lane highway, sticking to 30 becomes a bit silly  |
