Post A Photo, A Real Photo

[Meerkat]

Not easily. A scanner might work a little better, but who wants to buy one of those just to post a few pictures on the internet? Plus, a scanned image is never as good as the original. For example, below is a scan of a picture-book photo, I just did on my medium-low range scanner. With some minor enhancements done post-scan to adjust contrast, brightness, sharpness, etc. You can see that even this is not that great of an image. Scanning an actual high quality photograph would be better than this book image (book images are quite low resolution), but it still serves as a good example of what you could expect. IMHO, it's really not that much better than your picture-of-a-picture to justify going the extra cost and extra effort of using a scanner. If you were entering a photo contest? Yes. But posting snapshots on the forum? No, not in my opinion. Not unless there were details in the photo you were posting that you really wanted people to see.

I just didn't know if you realized that your photos were a bit on the blurry/blow-out highlight side of things. Or if you were intentionally applying a soft-focus effect, you were overdoing it a tad.

Here's a scan-of-a-photo-book-picture (which should be pretty close to a scan of an older family photo album picture):

Good eating there.

Ok. I've kept my mouth shut as long as I can

.
Yes, that dinner is delicious except for the catfish in the middle.
Catfish are not fish because they do not have scales; they have skin, like frogs and eels:

You gonna eat that?

If you need me, I'll be sucking cow hooves (Jello®) with @Meerkat instead

The catfish's first cousin:

I dare you to watch the whole thing (only 4.5 minutes); especially them spitting out plugs of mud.

 

[Amish Heart]

Catfish bark when you pull them out of the water. Don't want to eat barking things.

It was still good eating in my neck of the woods.
Matter of fact that was a feast.

Catfish are fish they are just bald fish. If properly cleaned and cooked they are great eating. I'm glad so many people don't like them. Saves more for the rest of us.

All fish are gross. They are clearly not meant for human consumption.

Oh don't get me wrong, I skinned, cleaned, and ate tons of them growing up.
My dad raised us to be self-supporting. We lived on a river of abundance.
After eating them 3-4 times a week, month after month, we boys would actually come to fist-blows when mom would toss out some cheap hotdogs.

Edit: Forgot the pic. The slimy bastids:

(notice the mud-cats in with the channel-cats)

Fish are supposed to look like this:

Time to send me to my room for a nap

 

[Bacpacker]

I dont like all fish, but a good mess of crappie or bluegill, maybe walleye or sauger is some fine eating. Never tried Pike, but I'd bet it's good too.
Then you got red snapper, halibut, cod, tuna, & my favorite grouper. That's just fine dining right there. And that doesn't even take into account shrimp, scallops, crab, & lobster.
I'd bet shut up. I'm gettin hungry again.

 

[Amish Heart]

Not arguing about this....I like to fish, but I don't like to eat fish.

 

[Meerkat]

I like fish but did like them better when we were catching them in clean waters, but what the heck we eat mercury tuna fish so who cares.

That's because you got (fake) butter with canola oil.
What's up with that?

In my defense the ingredients are butter, canola oil and salt. They add the oil to make it spreadable.

I'm just yanking your chain.
When I send son to grocery store for me.
He almost always brings me that.
I even take a picture of the carton and he still brings me that.

Typical American behavior, Kick out the Indian, keep the land...

It's funny when they all hatch at once. I had a batch due next weekend. I love waking up in the morning and seeing newbies.

Mine are due in 3 1/2 days.

If you knew how to fold the Land O Lakes butter packaging just right the butter maidens knees became boobs! Sorry I'm like a 13 year old trapped in a 50 year old body sometimes!

That one was a job and a half to build, or it was due to the rush to be on time for her birthday.
