Not just noobs dude. EVERYONE (apart from me, I can't find any ducks) posts pictures of a duck. It's being ironical. ;)

Hi, my name is Jannie and I like to take pictures of ducks...

And why do my pictures come out so large on this forum, I'm Exporting them at 1025 on the longest edge (as per the forum requirements) out of LR to Photobucket and then clicking on the link they say is for forums and they always come out bigger than my screen! I find it annoying!

What is your monitor screen resolution Jannie?
Maybe 800dpi wide? That would make the image too large...
Even tho my monitor is 1152 wide, I max out my web-posted pix at 800 for that very reason...many forums ask for a max of 800 dpi wide for that reason as well...

Well, I'm a noob and I can point that out... although I'm sure a few users groaned when they saw my post... Shhhh

Photobucket resizes them. Your images are showing their correct size here.

I've had over 2000 posts here and only recently has the epiphany came to me why you guys are shooting ducks as a benediction expo facto. Gosh, I guess aI am a little dense.

But to clear up the confusion amongst some of our members who jovially view the duck pics in this forum and were to afraid to ask because of fear of possible ridicule, I will reveal the fact. Now this would be totally embarrassing if I am completely wrong, in such case, the joke is on me.

The reason ducks are shot is to help show the sharpness and contrast and other IQ characteristics of a lens, since ducks have feathers and colors, etc. that can be a great test. ;)
:oops: I hope I was right...

Took me a while to catch on too, don't feel bad. To inaugurate my new 5D here is my duck shot, enjoy!

If you ask me this whole thread is reduckulous and nothing that couldn't be cured by a liberal application orange sauce and that would stop us all getting bits of feathers stuck on our sensors! :twisted:
