Yeah, I need to get a little more organized. I thought I had duplicated some of the pictures in the latest 4k I posted, and so I deleted it to rework it. I have since discovered I didn't duplicate anything, I just had a file naming issue. I'm sure that some of the other software is easier to use...

I have Gigapixel. I don't have an issue with needing to upscale my images. All of them are over 4K of 3840x2160. In fact, I have been having to downsize them to keep PS from running too slow. Batch mode sounds good, if nothing else I might try batching them, but keep the upscale at 1x with a JPG...

At first glance, I thought "How did he know I took this at Magnolia Plantation?". Then I realized you were asking if it was a magnolia tree seed pod. Yes, on both the tree and the park.

I reworked the second swamp wildlife video at 4K. Took quite a while to render, but uploaded faster than I thought. I was a little hesitant to label it as 4K before it went through the system, but it lists 4K as a quality option. You were on point, Fred. The 4K looks much better. I may replace...

OK, I tried making a higher resolution SS. I thought I might try the full sized TIFs again, but had two problems. One PS was running in syrup, again. Two, all the images were different sizes. I'm sure this is due to differences in cropping of the RAW file during processing. I ended up making a...

That one I just used the 1500x1000 jpgs I already had and then rendered them at 1080i 29.97. I really didn't feel like going to the trouble of resizing that many photos and then ending up with a really big rendered file. The resolution is fine for someone looking at a laptop screen or smaller...

I added one more. That will probably be it for a while, although I may continue to explore some options until I crank up taking more pictures once spring rears it's head.

Well, I tried using the full sized TIF files. My computer wasn't happy with it. I also discovered that there were higher resolution outputs than "high quality". I tried a new SS using my 1500x1000 jpegs and then used 1080i 29.97 for the quality. It rendered a much larger file, and probably took...

Well, first try. I worked from the jpeg images I save for posting. I was afraid to use the full sized TIF files thinking it make working with, and rendering too slow and an unwieldy mp4 file. I rendered it at the highest quality available in PS, but I suppose the 1500x1000 original images...

OK, here it is. I didn't realize that there was someone else on Youtube with my user name, only with a capitalization difference.

The 70-300 DX kit lens You might consider using manual with auto ISO. That way your shutter speed will remain constant. In aperture preferred, the aperture remains constant and the shutter speed changes. Of course in manual with auto ISO, you still have to keep an eye on your ISO. Still, I'd...

Are you keeping an eye on your shutter speeds? I'm sure you know that 300mm on a DX performs like 450mm and needs the corresponding higher shutter speed when hand held.

Welcome. Hope you enjoy the forum. Great bunch of folks here.

There are a few folks who say that an FX lens on a DX body MAY not be as sharp as a comparable DX lens on the DX body. Most think that because the DX body only uses the central part of the image, which is the sharpest, it will perform even better. I've used several FX lenses on DX bodies, and...

Well, I downloaded some royalty free music from You Tube, just to be sure there are no copyright issues, and reworked the slideshow. I uploaded it just now. Apparently, I have to wait until midnight before it will magically appear. I'll post a link when it becomes available. The worst thing was...

File size. Not sure if there are file size limits for most of the hosting services. Not sure what it would equate to, but I first rendered mine from 1500 x 1000 images and used the "high quality" setting which ended up with a 300 MB file. That may not be an issue, but I've never messed with...

So, is there a good place to post a slideshow, besides Youtube, for inclusion here? I'd rather not use YT, if I can avoid it. I do, unfortunately, have an instagram account. Also, what resolution do you normally render them for posting?

I got the idea to try my hand at a slideshow today. Doesn't look like the web based LR will do it. I looked up a video to show how to do it in PS. Not terribly intuitive, but once you know the secret handshake, the basics aren't difficult. Having said that, it should not be a surprise, but...

Welcome. Hope this forum serves you well to grow in photography. I can't help you much with your niche of interest. This is pretty much the extent of my recent equestrian photography.

Much better. Can you get lower down to the water? Some interesting clouds/lighting might bump things up some. OK, Fred beat me to it while I was typing.
