Entomobrya multifasciata

Didn't have much "luck" focusing on this one ... or should I say: My "strategy" failed miserably? ;o) Anyway, just this "long distance" shot that has the critter recognizable enough to add the species ...

  Yes, fortunately my failure to get a better picture doesn't influence that (or I wouldn't dare take pictures of adorable cuties anymore) ;o) Posted 4 years ago

I think it's actually well focused. It has the proper depth of field and key parts are in focus. Only a tad moved, yet that means in this case a movement of what....1 micrometer?

Bottom line: species is very clear to see! Posted 4 years ago

  Yes, recognizability is okay - I was referring to the low resolution (cropped to "hd ready" 720 lines), but I just noticed that JD now seems to blow such low res images up to "full screen" so the casual observer might not notice? Posted 4 years ago

    You mean on the full screen image viewer? Yes, there it scales up the image to a minimum of 2048px wide, if I recall correctly. Posted 4 years ago

      Somehow I seem to remember seeing small images in full screen view every now and than, so I was surprised to see this one full screen ... did you change the settings recently? Posted 4 years ago

        No, haven't touched it in years. I do know what you mean, rarely I also see very tiny images. This is either due to the original image actually being tiny, alternatively it is possible that something got stuck in the process where JD resizes the original into various formats.

      P.S. Here are some examples of low res originals that do not resize to full screen on my monitor (which is probably a good thing ;o)

        Just did some more checking. To start with the main image we were discussing, the original is indeed 1280 x 720. On the fullscreen image viewer ( https://www.jungledragon.com/image/105630/entomobrya_multifasciata.html/zoom ) it is shown exactly at that dimension, never larger, so it's not blown up. It can become smaller, if your screen is smaller than 1280 (smartphone, small tablet), but not bigger.
        
        On the page we're currently at, the image is shown as 1140 wide, so slightly shrunk. On this page (simply called the "photo page", non-full screen) the image is scaled inside a fixed width box. The width of the box depends on your screen/device, but on desktop it's always 1140.
        
        Hope this makes sense now :) Posted 4 years ago, modified 4 years ago

        Hmmmm, that's not what I'm seeing. I'm currently on a full hd (1920x1080) laptop screen. I took some screenshots to determine pixel sizes. On the photo page we're on the image currently is shown in a reduced size (of course) at something like 987x555 (roughly). But in the zoom view I get it presented at around 1600x900, which is larger than the original. Stranger yet: It even gives me the "load original" button ... suggesting the original is even larger (?) :-/
        I'll send you a screenshot by mail.
        Note however that it's probably a non-issue, it just made me wonder that you guys might be seeing it "larger than life" and hence not notice the low res that I was bashing myself about ;o) Posted 4 years ago

        Hi Ferdy,
        just to let you know: Your suggestion (by email) that the laptop this was happening on might have "zoom" level configured for the entire screen was spot on! Took me a while to find the setting *rolleyes*, as I never tinker with these things on Windoze and this happens to be a Win10 testing system. Makes the whole discussion a bit embarrassing, so sorry about that! Posted 4 years ago

        No worries, it's an easy thing to overlook, even more when you didn't actively set it yourself. Glad you found it. Posted 4 years ago

I think it's a great shot! It perfectly shows off its adorability. Posted 4 years ago
