Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.

  1. This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.

  2. This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.

  3. When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.

  4. Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).

  5. Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

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.

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.
