End of the trail

trail end sign
Never hiked to the far end because it always seemed too muddy. Today is as dry as it gets so i went for it.

Turns out an open mind led to hiking Avalanche.

Which led to another open-minded question.

What if i hiked to the far end?

Today the clouds are sending warning signs. Didn’t get to summit because of the unexpected snow. Life is still good.

Glacier Day 401, work

Upper left “Pro Res HDR” is on. Accidentally. Had no idea the photo’s file size. Astronomical.

During a hike i figured it out. Or at least it was my opinion that i solved the challenge. But it would require a MacBook to confirm. The laptop is 40 miles away at the hotel.

Back in the hotel. Confirmed the challenge. Laptop gave me this view of each individual video. Look at that 315 MB size.

While deep in on a hike, I took the same video-length with Pro-Res HDR off. Went from 315 MB to 19 MB for the exact same clip. Astronomical difference.
wordpress media settings screen
WordPress allows a 100 MB file size upload. Obviously 315 MB is insanely over. And 19 MB is super chill.

Bottom right are the WP media file settings. Before discovering the solution on the trail, i upped the WP settings to…

Moved it from 1024 x 1024 to 1080 x 1920. It didn’t make a difference. Now i know why.
