So how do photographs look on here? #NewZealand

Well hell yes. #photography looks great on here

** Important - in your settings, Appearance uncheck "Crop images in non-expanded posts to 16x9" if you want to see things as they are meant to be seen

@Rjdlandscapes Damn fine. There doesn't appear to be any resizing or pixel squashing.

@Rjdlandscapes Nice!

One tip - image descriptions are Highly Appreciated here for accessibility. Some people won't boost images without them so they also help improve your reach. Just click 'edit' on the image after uploading.

@zeborah oh cool ill try do that when I post!
@Rjdlandscapes beautiful shot! Always love that view over to Lyttleton.
@samcook Yep just a 10 min walk from home I've shot it so many times but it never gets old!
@Rjdlandscapes Yes! We just walked up the hills today and it's great in all weather!
@samcook oh thats keen! wow any view?
@Rjdlandscapes it was damp! Mostly foggy, none of the deep turquoise colour it usually has, but very atmospheric. 😊
@Rjdlandscapes
FYI I've been putting photos on Pixelfed.nz so I can help lighten the load on the servers here since it's so crazy busy.
Well what I mean is that I joined, and then I forget to use it. But the intention is there and I'll remember eventually ;)
@Rjdlandscapes They're compressed to 2MB - I do this pre-posting, so as to reduce the load on the server - as many people view on a cellphone, it is unlikely to be noticeable anyway. Oh and damn fine image too yours.
@Rjdlandscapes They look fine. Or at least, as great as you want them to be.
@Rjdlandscapes They look pretty darn good it would seem. I'll have to move back to Christchurch if it looks like this all the time!
@Rjdlandscapes They look even better with image descriptions/alt text! That way those using screen readers aren't left out. Absolutely beautiful photograph!!
@maddramaqueen cheers, putting that on all my new posts can't see how on old posts?
@Rjdlandscapes unfortunately I don't know of a way to go back and add them πŸ˜•
@Rjdlandscapes with photos that look like that! Beautiful!
@Rjdlandscapes absolutely terrible. You should send them all to me and I'll...er...protect everyone else from seeing them by putting them on my walls. Yes...protect...that's it...
@FuVenusRs πŸ˜‚ the good thing about digital images is we can all have them
@Rjdlandscapes Mastodon seems to handle photos pretty well except for the 16:9 crop in the toot. But it doesn't look like it's jacking around with the image too much.
@robmiracle I think you control that for your timeline in settings, I've switched it off in mine!
@Rjdlandscapes That's pretty dang sharp and beautiful
@pwc Thanks Peter!
@Rjdlandscapes Thanks for the tip. I hadn't realized I had it set 'wrong' and am now enjoying wide and tall images.
@pwc cool, not sure why its on by default!?!
@Rjdlandscapes Looks amazing but is missing alt text.
@StephGunther yeah my first post on here, cant edit it back in but I do alt text since
@Rjdlandscapes I'm just getting used to it myself. πŸ™‚
@StephGunther actually... you can edit, delete the photo, re-upload and add alt text.. !

@Rjdlandscapes

It makes such a difference don't it! Wish is it the default option.
