    Talking A Nice hunt out in Colonial Pasture!

    Started out the day by asking permission at some house sites, but most people weren't home. I decided to go back to a site of my that has a colonial pasture on it. Found my first KG and it's a KGII! Enjoy the pictures!

    Nice largie. It looks like the plow hit it right on the rim. Maybe there was some planting before it was a pasture. You gotta edit those pictures first. Lol. I have gotten the "talk" from Dan before about pics being -90 deg orientation and having a hard time looking at them. My issue, tho, was direct from the phone. It may look perfect on the phone but the pic deets say it's wrong orientation. When you upload there is no modifications. (Altho I think FB just recently added a feature to correct pictures).

    Thanks for the heads up. Though I'm not exactly sure how to edit them before posting them to make them the right size. How should I do that?

    Do you post from comp or phone? If the phone, not the Taptalk app seeing as there is no signature at the bottom of the comment.
    I have android for the phone so for me it is to hit the bottom left menu button that pops up this window. Under details it shows the orientation. Under the Edit function is how you would rotate it.
    I think with the iPhone you press the screen when the pic is up to popup the editing window. Idk as I don't have one in front of me now, but rotating is a feature.
    For either phone you can get an app to edit further. I tried picasa but I think I stuck with the PIP camera app.
    If you do it from the comp it's easy. Download picasa free, or use MS picture manager. I like the autocorrect (color/contrast/brightness) of the MS altho it doesn't always work. For size, it doesn't matter. Mine say 2+ Mb each photo, but the AD site's uploader auto-compresses them for ya. The only thing I did notice, tho, is the few pics I have taken with a blue background are from a USB pen camera that puts it as a BMP pic. This site does not like that for some reason. I just open it with MS paint, and then hit the "save as" to save a Jpeg file. Then edit it from there. Convoluted, yes, but that's the way it will work.
