First time placing photos in post
« on: December 25, 2010, 11:29:47 PM »
This is my first attempt at placing photos in post. Enclosed is a photo of a group I shot off the sandbags at 50 yards.  I'm just trying to see if I can get this thing to work.

Gary- you need a photo site to upload to.  
The address doesn't look appropriate for that.
Many of us use Photobucket - Acer Sac. has a tutorial on photo posting in the tutorial forum of this site.  His directions are quite easy to follow- but probably need updating due to changes at photobucket.

Hmm- the photo finally opened up for me in SCLoyalist's post and the group is pretty good.
Tks for posting it.

Daryl: Group had first 5 shots into .6 in. across widest span, then sun came out from behind the clouds and group shifted and opend up.  I still will have to work on this photo posting thing but my daughter went home now so dont know how long it will be befor I make any progress. Its not that I know alot about shooting but I do  know more about shooting than computers and their operation. Best wishes everyone.    Gary

Gary- isn't it amazing how a light change can change the point of impact.  Many blades and beads have rounded rear edges - not the shape of the slant- but the sides.  If there is any side or edge rounding, there will be a greater poi shift than from a flat rear surface.

Daryl, My front sight has those rounded edges but I can usualy offset the effect you talk of by using a shadder(which I didnt have with me the day I shot the group in the photo). It was a really nice morning for shooting and I was some distance from home so didnt want to wast time in going back to get a shader. Now if I can get one of my co-workers to come over after work(he is a computer guy) and help me with the photo posting thing I will be a happy camper.  Note: The sun was at about 2 o-clock with little wind when I shot the errent fliers.    Gary
