Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Title of thread changed as I need a different picture

Has anyone got a photograph that they wouldn't mind me using for a physics paper I am writing?

I have a zillion pictures of my own but none of em are right for what I need.

Picture needs to have

1 Depth (so you should be able to see something near; like some trees or whatever also some clear sky or mountains in the background)
2 It needs to be clear and in focus
3 There should be shadows
4 There should be tones and definition (eg. in the snow there should be dips or moguls that are defined by edges, tones, etc)
5 Oh, of course it should be a snowy scene
6 There should be no manmade object in it (no houses, lifts, etc)
7 There should be no people in the shot

Last you don't mind me publishing it - I will give a credit under the picture your name, date, location, etc

Thanks

No people is the killer. Not even distant people? Are ski tracks OK? I probably have something if I look in my home files but this one, for example is on snowMedia: (I should think you want more depth though - with foreground trees etc)

I need something in the foreground - to give it some perspective

Trees, terrain features, etc

The rocks and sky are fine though

Distant people can be photoshoped out so a few will not be a problem

Sorry to be picky but the picture is for a very specific purpose

There may be a very distant ski lift in this one


Or how about cropping the bottom off of this one:


I can probably dig out full res. of both if you are interested.

I'll have a look on the big PC, but the two above are already in snow media zone

Bones,
That's the one. The 4th one on your post is just what I need.
Lots of detail
Clear
Depth
Lots of various tones
and (something I didn't think of) danger - there is a gully in the mid foreground.

rob@rar If you don't mind I would like to use the bottom right courner of your big picture (the bit below the tree with all the tonal changes) as that will be perfect for another section of the paper.


I will PM you both in a few weeks for your details that will go in the credits.

Thanks

See you all on the

Image edited

For those who are interested in doing this themselves it's a function of the Img tag

eg.
Code:
[img=460,25]http://snowheads.com/ski-forum/xxx.jpg[/img]


Would resize the xxx jpg as an image 420 wide by 25 high

Wayne, you're welcome to use that photo in any way. It's just a holiday snap, so no photo credit is needed. Send me your email address by PM and I'll send you the full res jpeg so you can crop it without losing too much quality.

In a desperate attempt to keep this “understandable” (by me at least, as I’m a bit dim)

I need a picture of a bald head on a ski slope or at least in a snowy area.
Oh the head can be attached to a person - either way wink

There is a good reason for this by the way
Yeah I know I could just use a helmet to explain the restricted entropic movement of cross-linked ordered polymers,
but I just like the idea of using a bald head Laughing and at least this will be a (tenuous) link into parasitic drag

As always I will give a credit under the picture your name, date, location, etc

You MUST own the copywrite of the picture, or I'll get in trouble for publishing it

redrunmarcus,
Yep that would be perfect – I need a really shiny head if possible.

I was going to use a helmet picture, but I think a gleaming bald patch would be MUCH better Toofy Grin .

I was going to write a small paper on goggle lenses but it has turned into a monster (no worries though it will get slashed by the editors).

Anyway, on to goggles straps now (so need something smooth Very Happy to make a point) and what makes em stretchy and why they don’t fall off too often and blah blah blah. Of course (being me….) this links in very well with why the universe will end one day and why my G&T goes warm.
