Before anyone says anything about flying in a fire zone; The fire was out, FAA TFR's were checked, the state and local fire agencies in command were consulted to assure the TFR was lifted and that no aerial equipment was still being dispatched or operated in the area, and local law enforcement was informed of the activity prior to commencing. The fire officials told me to "Have a nice flight" and they appreciated the consultation.
Trying to upload photos. It's a shame the site limits files sizes to those much smaller than the Typhoon H captures. JPG files run 2.7 to 9mgs, DNG sizes at 4000x3000, or 12 megs, converting a DNG to JPG reduces them to 2.7 megs, hammering resolution, while shooting in DNG and converting to BMP, which has higher resolution than DNG, isn't possible because the site does not recognize the file format and the file would again be too large. How does one post photographic work at a place that does not handle common file formats and sizes? Unfortunately changing this to JPG format significantly degrades the file and enlargement goes instantly to pot. The original DNG/BMP file can be enlarged 60% and still maintain good resolution.
