Comment by AnAustralianPhotographer@lemmy.world on Unknown bird, New South Wales, Australia

Not sure, Sorry if i was unclear, i wasn’t seeking an identification, but thought the photo would be of interest to people here. I dont want anyone to go out of their way to find out, it was just a bird I took a photo of as i walked past it and is different to the ones i see here day to day.

@AnAustralianPhotographer @Aussiemandeus doesn’t matter as your cross posting does not allow sufficient resolution to zoom in and see anything in this dark lit photo. At least we know its Aus

The resolution is news to me, i thought what was posted was made available to everyone at 1920x1080. Are you seeing it as a .webp or something ? Ive increased the exposure setting and re-exported at max res, does this help ?

I didnt realise that posts here could be affecting there resolution from what was posted. This should be around 3,300 pixels wide.

Him’s a pretty birb.

I also thought it was a blurry/low resolution picture until you said that, then I clicked on it and full screening the picture caused it to fully load. Maybe the picture in the post is still just a preview until it’s been full screened?

Thanks for this.

There might be several things spawned from the initial upload and kept around. If i click on this post, initially im shown a square thumbnail, a ~20kb .webp file. If i click on the image, it shows me another .webp which is a bigger file and it doesnt fully show on the screen.

Clicking a third time opens up a .jpg for me, as best as i can tell its the original upload.

Maybe whats served depends on the view or app each person is using… It might be further complicated if the server knows whether the person is viewing on a mobile device and try and serve lower resolution. . But i try and upload at atleast 1920x1080.

Thank you, this would literally never have occurred to me otherwise. I have really bad eyesight, too, so full screening pictures intentionally might make an accessibility difference

@AnAustralianPhotographer @JosephSmith3130 Your cross posting requires a log in to see the picture in full resolution. I think.

The resolution looks fine to me. I can zoom in a fair way and look at rhe details.

@Aussiemandeus @JosephSmith3130 are you logging in to Lemmy world?

Nah Aussie.zone

Ill log in via world try find this post and see the difference.

Still the same my dude, can see it fine and zoom in just as well.

I think the issues are your end

@Aussiemandeus @JosephSmith3130 i see nothing. Im using an iPhone 12 pro

@Aussiemandeus @JosephSmith3130 this is what I get clicking on the photo to zoom in.

I think most people here like identifying them, nobody’s going out of their way. If you do become interested in identifying this bird or others, I can recommend the Merlin app. I use it to ID the birds near me. It can use sounds, photos, or a game of 20 questions along with location and time to narrow your search.

That sounds like an amazing app

It’s is kind of magical. Not perfect, but I like to think my contributions might help make it even better.

Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted.
