How is it that everyone takes and upload such good photos?!?

 
 By: LS : June 13th, 2019-19:25
I want to, too! I take pictures on my iPhone and upload them and the image quality always seems to get reduced on the uploaded image. They look decent on my phone and I think I have a pretty crisp photo. Then I upload it and it gets blurry. Am I missing a... 

Ok, Here it goes...from the app

To describe my photo on my ipad, the text is crisp and clear and the 3 o'clock index and crown are in focus. want to see how this looks uploaded. ...  

Definitely more compression and softer using the website vs app.

The photo posted using the app is as you described. The focus is narrow but the 3 O'clock index and logo text are nice and sharp. With the second there is no defined sharp area. I'm not sure if this is normal or not because I don't usually upload by phone... 

And here is the same photo uploaded from MacBook Air via Safari

LS... I took a look at some of your uploads...

Many were wrist shots... which I have always said are the most difficult photos to take. Being restricted by distance (on the wrist), shooting one handed, tripod + live view not useable... etc. etc., and mostly limited lighting options (open shade would b... 

Yes, good photos are hard and take patience!

I was just noticing that some seemed to be degraded in transport between my photos app and the website. And I started to notice other photos were spectacularly crisp snd in focus. here are some landscapes... ...  

a quick numbers game...

I downloaded both of your watch photo and compared the exif data. From that simple exercise it looks like the app does less compression than your browser... and when using the site to upload I understand that it's your device that manages the compression.... 

The "compression" comparison is very difficult to make

From my experience, compression depends on the pixel density and the contrast between adjacent pixels - thus a picture of blades of grass is more complex to compress than a picture of a blue sky. Here's my favorite pair of landscape photos which I use as ...  

Casey, thanks for your help deciphering this..

I wouldn't know where to begin in determining the compression ratio of a photo. I guess the app produces better upload results, though. I will use it going forward if I take a picture of something I want to share.

; ) don't give up because of some insignificant technical detail...

Life is too short to worry about tech support... looking for more of your photos and/or wrist scans... Casey

Try taking pics...
