Finally figured out how to capture a frame from the lightening video i shot at work last year. Stupid arrow.




Mars and the moon. I guess i spend a lot of time at work taking pictures with my phone.

Oooo those are all gorgeous. Your phone takes good pictures!

PS that lightning color is especially wonderful.

PPS did you capture it from your phone or computer?

[joebanks]

I've long deleted it from the phone; i looked up some things last year but couldn't find what i wanted, tried again - anyway what i did was press the windows key and "prt sc". Then it shows up under photos in a box titled "screenshots". You may know all this already.

I'm using Windows 7, so you may be using something further on than I am. If you wanted to get rid of the arrow, you should be able to print the screen with the video running, or use the snip tool, which is what I use to capture streaming cameras. That will freeze the screen and you can select what you want. Though it may all be different in Windows 10.

I just love these pictures and especially the colors on the third one-- the red and the green, against the night background. Really spooky and beautiful, like an old hand-colored photo or something.

Windows 8.1, i could never figure out the upgrade. See you've lost me in the technobabble that follows but i think the arrow will always appear, no matter the frame.

Yes it's got a prismatic vibe going on, i'd like say thank you, but all i ever really do is 'point and shoot'.

[rafqa]

Really-- the arrow appears while you're playing the video?

[joebanks]

No, i'm saying when i captured? the single frame the arrow was part of it. Maybe because i was moving the mouse, because the arrow does appear temporarily, on a video when i move the mouse.

[rafqa]

Oh.

I could say more but I won't because I don't want to be accused of technobabble.

But it's a beautiful picture, and would be nice to see it without the arrow. Although of course, the arrow tells you where to look.

[joebanks]

Please, now you have to educate me in the most techy way possible.

[joebanks]

And thank you, for the compliment.

[rafqa]

You're welcome.

I got nothin'.
