Enhanced February 2009 Photo Comp Discusion Thread..!!

Good theme Ivory. Thanks for coming up with it so quickly.
Now all I need is for it to stop raining or snowing before the end of the month:D

 

Yes I know the feeling... it's foggy here
Sunlight, precious sunlight.... groan....

I feel like I am growing long and thin, and pale green... I am sure you know what I mean!:D

 

Before someone asks what's up with my pony's feet, she is wearing boots :p

 

Brill pic Ivory!!! :thumb: The proportions of the cropping are perfect (though it's just a teeny bit too wide to fit on my monitor). That bit of lens flare works very nicely too.

Didn't notice the boots :D

 

"though it's just a teeny bit too wide to fit on my monitor"

Oh dear I thought I had resized it right THIS TIME!!!!! Off to check on it!!

I like the stripy sun too!

Great Snowdrop,lots better than the cloudy version!!

 

I hope it's better now. I have the strangest problem with my computer today, the arrow (pointer??? the thing that moves on the screen when you move the mouse... it'scalled a CURSORE in italian :p) sort of blinks on and off and sometimes I literally do not know what I am clicking (for example, pre-defined size menues). I am living dangerous, fortunately I don't do any online banking.

 

The photo fits perfectly now Ivory. In fact you could make a bit bigger if you want.

A couple of suggestions regarding your cursor (English) -
1. Check the connection where your mouse plugs into your PC.
2. Try another mouse if you have one
3. Open 'Control Panel' on your PC and then open the 'Mouse' options folder. You should then be able to play about with setting how your mouse and cursor behave. You might be able to improve things

 

I am actually using a touchpad... anyway, I ended up restarting the puter, and it seems to behave now... I will check in the touchpad options anyway... could do with a bigger cursor in any case... you know, me eyes!:D

Thank you!

 

A stupid suggestion from me .... if it's remote, change batteries ..... :hehe::hehe:

On a serious note ... I have changed keyboards and mice countless times this past year, I think three/four keyboards and well the mice ..... we know what they are like .... Bearing in mind with the keyboards they may be English ..... they may be Portuguese so I have to remember which I have under my delft fingertips .... :halp:

I've regressed now to a plug-in keyboard and mouse ..... technology .... :lollol:.... spare me ....

 

"I have changed keyboards and mice countless times this past year"

I don't know what it is with me and techy stuff, but I am always having trouble with these things, hubby says it is because I don't BELIEVE in them, may be you don't believe in them either?

I am also switching from italian to german keyboards,it doesnt make much different for typing in english, but for italian and german it gets real messy! :D

 

You should try switching english to greek it's a much bigger mess. I have to keep a keyboard crib sheet pinned to the monitor and I've given up on trying to get the stress accents above the appropriate vowels.

 

Victoria - Your moonshine pic is really great, but try rotating it about 2 degrees anticlockwise and see what you think. I think you'll notice a difference.
Just a suggestion.

 

Hi Dave and thanks ... is that so the sea is not falling off the right side of the photo as it seems to be ????? That's just me and my eyesight perhaps ... I actually write like that as well with the writing falling off the right side .... :hehe:

I'll have a play with it ... it was done on the Fuji .... will come back on this ...
