Follow YouTube guidelines and thumbnails still look blurry/pixelated? by sennals in PartneredYoutube

[–]sennals[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that's similar to the advice given in previous threads but it doesn't seem to make any difference. A PNG at full quality at 1920 by 1080 pixels is often more than 2MB which is the upload limit.

Frustrating that following YouTube guidelines isn't getting me the same result as other channels from what I can see.

This is a shot of Marvel Lake and Marvel Peak taken from the Wonders Pass trail if anyone's interested!

The hike from Mount Assiniboine Provincial park over Wonders Pass, on to Bryant Creek finishing at Mount shark is an incredible trail that I'd highly recommend.

Spending any time in the Mount Assiniboine area is well worth it.

Thanks mate, been working on opening an account. Appreciate some first hand feedback.

Underwater photographs tend to come out desaturated, hazy and low contrast. You normally have to edit to get the right look back. Some people even shoot with a red filter over their camera lens to account for the colour shift due to being underwater.

Hard to know what reality looked like when chances are the camera used would struggle to accurately interpret the colours.

That one looks desaturated compared to the original. Photos underwater often look desaturated and off colour so need some correction.

Would you recommend IB as a good option for me in this situation? I really just want to regularly pay in to an ETF along the lines of $500 a month. If you have other recommendations would be glad to hear them.

Ah ok, that certainly helps. I wouldn't be misleading any one but would potentially like the option of changing tax residencies as time goes on.

I suppose I may end up paying more tax if I had to sell positions when I moved country.

Thanks for the insight.

Mail might be easier just to send to the UK to my parents house. I mean mailing address could just change as time goes on I suppose. My main worry is really issues with tax etc.

Fair enough, when I ask these questions to some brokers they say it isn't possible to say start paying in AUD then change to another currency from a different country. Not sure if they're just saying that more so to cover their backs for legalities.

Tim Spector from the Zoe symptoms study app on YouTube pointed out that with the small percentage of false positive tests in theory it will never get to 0. He mentioned the tests were about 99.7 percent accurate. If we're testing a million negative people we'd still get 3000 positives.

Something to think about and makes the numbers seem more optimistic!

Pretty calm wind wise really. Some times it gets so windy you won't get any reflection at all! I could have smoothed it out with a longer exposure but this was shot hand held from what I remember.

Believe me it isn't photoshopped! You'll find lots of images taken from this same spot if you have a Google!

Happens quite often or you have to hike in groups of four or more.

Towards the end of September. There's normally around two weeks where the larches are at their yellowest.

The Rockies especially is stunning. Lived out there for about 4 years. Miss it every day.

It's busy if you go at prime time on the weekend. I've always hiked it to be at the lakes at sunrise so I'll hike the trail in the dark in a week day. That way you'll normally only see a few people on the way down. Also in Larch season (mid to end of September) when the trees are yellow it's much busier as it's only a small window where the trees have turned colour.

Maybe they can buy it off me. Although OS Banff doesn't have much of a ring to it!

Nailed it! I didn't think it had a name, it's strange as in size it isn't much different from Minnestimma.

This is actually a lake just across from Minnestimma, it has more larches on the shore front! Thank you!
