Been this way for many, MANY years! What may seem like "dirt" is actually snow flurries. Slight "dusting" on the ground.

Nice find here brother and well captured! I think more snow is headed your way so pretty soon it'll be more than a dusting.
Here's a thought. Those beautiful leaded glass windows on the front doors might make a great entry for this month's assignment.

Slight dusting? You need to move Dan... There is a 6" thick dusting out in my yard right now...

But a nice fixer upper... I'll fix the steps first.

Nice looking old structure, Dan, any idea of its birthdate? Looks like it's worthy of updating beyond the roof. Is that a third chimney in back? Quartering shot please?

I thought about that also Brent. I have a few others in mind also. The closer you get to the doors the uglier they get! Even zooming in on them starts to show the cracks, mold and major disrepair!

A fellow member advised me to increase the size of my postings. I did that on the Fuji forum post.
We missed the snow here. Brutally cold but I love cold!
Thanks brother!

What size are you making your vertical format posts now? I've always done 875 pixels high.

Just FWIW -- retina-style displays like at least 2048 px on the long side.

That's what I do for horizontals but with verticals it seems to make them too large. For example, the image below is 2480 on the long side.

Appreciate it!

Brent a fellow member suggested the longest dimension be 2200px.
You can see my redux on the Fuji forum.

Yes it IS large.
Thanks!

Thanks Jack! I will admit I "got hung up on" no more than 900px long side. Then a member told me to try 2200px long side.

I did and yes it does make a big difference in the resolution. I like that.

My 30" NEC SpectraView MultiSync LCD is my editing monitor.

Like I said Brent..IT IS BIG!!!!

I was worried that some members would tell me to "downsize" because it doesn't fit on the monitor screen properly.

Now this has a great impact when viewing the snow! Wow!! Reminds me of Iowa very much.
Thanks for all your suggestions.

I don't really understand the sizing here. I've been sizing my horizontal images at 1300 pixels on the long side, 300 ppi. When I go larger, they don't fit. I just downloaded someone else's photo here to check the size, and it was 4000 by 3000 pixels at 360 ppi--and it fit the screen just fine. I tried posting one at that size and it was rejected.

I "had" always sized my posted images at 800 long side- 72-300px range in Resolution. Why? I think it stemmed from "something I read about "resizing an image to post years ago or Fred's WA/MA Assignment Rule(??)".. I made the sizing of my image nothing more than a personal preference based on nothing really.

A fellow member ask "why I was posting so small an image size?" I had no real answer. I am AMAZED at how much more I see in a larger sized image BUT it isnot all on the screen to view which I do prefer.
