You could see the geysers and hot pot off to the right and now they are not visible. Also it was lower so you could see more in front and now there is a lot of sky. I do like where the camera is now. It is definitely the best place you have had it over the last year.</pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""><blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="">I am bummed, however, that the camera angle of the Old Faithful webcam was changed yesterday afternoon. I really enjoyed watching the tourists who were watching the geyser -- in many instances, they were more interesting that the scenery. :>) It seems unnecessary to have all that "sky" in the frame now, and I would suggest resetting the camera angle back to the way it was yesterday morning.</pre></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="">Any chance to tweak it back just a bit to the E-NE? Old Faithful is more off-center than it was before.</pre></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="">I believe that the camera since yesterday, Tuesday has been repositioned? When the camera refreshes, since, less of the people deck is shown, and more of the sky, I have to re-adjust my screen to actually see Old Faithful now every half minute. I have a new Dell Laptop, wide and large screen. Would it be best to lower the camera again slightly, or ...I know you are not my tech guy, but to keep old faithful in view with each refreshing?</pre></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="">I noted the change of angle to the old faithful camera today. There is an awful lot of sky in this new angle. I enjoyed watching the people that you could see in the previous orientation. Just thought I would put in my 2 cents.</pre></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="">Much better focus! But at the risk of wearing out my welcome .... having more of the foreground seating area in the picture as before makes it more interesting to be able to see the crowd density - or not - as during the winter. In other words, a two thirds ground, one third sky image. Will also help put snow depth in perspective with the benches more visible (as with the foreground trees, sign posts and bench area visible in the old cam view).</pre></blockquote> <blockquote type="cite"><pre wrap="">Great view of the Old Faithful area . The exposure is a little bit dark because most of your exposure is from the sky. If you would lower the camera so there is more foreground and less sky that would solve this problem.</pre></blockquote> </pre> Paul Strasser wrote: <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid000b01c6cc7c$6a244250$6600a8c0@GIANT"> <meta http-equiv="Context-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> <div> FYI, Grand’s water column IS visible, on the very far left of the new webcam screen.  This is a portion of the webcam shot at 1529 today – when I first opened the webcam window the water column was clearly visible but it updated before I had the wits to print screen.  (I called the VC to verify).  Only one burst, it looked like.  Heh.   I also notice something with the new temp reading – it was like 86 degrees around 1030 AM, so wherever the sensor is it gets bombarded in the morning (and a lot of folks will scratch their heads at the true barometric pressure, not corrected for sea level).  Nevertheless, very cool.   Paul Strasser   </div> <hr width="90%" size="4"> <center><img src="cid:part1.05010206.00070401@qnet.com"></center> <pre wrap=""> <hr width="90%" size="4"> _______________________________________________ Geysers mailing list <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Geysers@wwc.edu">Geysers@wwc.edu</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://mailman.wwc.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers">https://mailman.wwc.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
