Do you generally tend to shoot in 16:9 with the Fuji ?
Hi Rob,
No, I use the full 6000x4000 pixels of the X100F sensor. It makes no sense to waste any of them when shooting.
But I rarely use all of them in the finished pic, I normally crop down to whatever creates the most pleasing image and aspect ratio.
There is no physical zoom on the camera, so cropping or walking is the only way to get closer.
And then for the web I resize down to a suitable screen width, the height taking care of itself from whatever aspect ratio I have set.
Until recently a "suitable screen width" meant what would fit dot-for-dot on my own monitor (2560x1440). For the last few posts I have increased that to take better advantage of 4K monitors for those who have them. That means I have mostly set the width to 3800 in the last few pics.
To avoid any need to scroll a typical browser window I have used an aspect ratio of 2:1 where I can, but it doesn't fit all of them, so it will vary. It's not often 16:9, unless that just happens to fit.
For both the old Templot Club and this new one, I have written some scripting to ensure that no image ever appears larger than dot-for-dot, regardless of any browser zooming or screen DPI setting. That's especially important for the Templot screenshots because looking at fuzzy line graphics for just a few seconds causes me a severe headache. Whether the scripting works on all devices, especially Apple Retina screens, I have no means of knowing. But it's working here for this screen so I'm happy. It's the reason you may see images resize after a second or two.
One issue I'm currently looking at is the very slow loading of large images when they have been posted as attachments, compared with similar-sized images hot-linked directly from the server. That's a bit of a puzzle.
cheers,
Martin.
. Which way did you walk from here - I am assuming straight ahead is part of the property rather than a right of way ?
