Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted October 23, 2023 My Duck-Buddies, something I do for the FishDuck writers--is capture screenshots of the game for use in FishDuck articles. I can often capture images that our photographers do not, and if not utilized for articles--I can use them for posts in the forum. It is quite a arduous and complicated process for the conversion process than often has unforeseen glitches--like one today. As I watch the game, I must take note of where the event is in the game, what it is, and why I need an image of it. To capture the image--I am often going over it many times to time it just right to get the precise moment. Doing the WSU game took me five hours... The different stations that televise Oregon games have different levels of technology, hence the sharpness of image--number of pixels, etc. Bottom line, (and no surprise) that an ESPN or Fox telecast has better quality images than the Pac-12 Network does. It is hard with the latter to even have still images that don't have some blur... But this last ABC/ESPN telecast had terrific crispness in their images. Normally I share these throughout the year in posts, and with the FishDuck writers for use in article, but I thought I'd share a few with my own captions. I hope you enjoy them as much as I... Oregon fans are normal and completely rational....right? 2 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 2 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The only time in two seasons that I've caught Bo on the field with a smile. (After his fantastic pooch-punt) 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 3 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Does this happen at USC? One of the nations best running backs is getting his a$$ chewed, and he is listening to Coach Locklyn. What a sharp image for an incredible moment... 2 3 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 4 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This choked me up. How iconic is this? The Harley is so cool, and the Duck? This is our brand that everyone loves... Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 5 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Wow. The moment Bucky plants the foot and makes the cut, but nobody notices the great block by Holden to keep the force defender from blowing up the play. 1 1 4 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 6 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This so moved me. Does Lanning BLEED defense like nobody else? 3 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 7 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The last screenshot was in another thread with Patrick Herbert making the big block in Irving's TD reception. So when you see pictures I include in posts--some have quite a history to them... Yes, No. 8. It sucks to be YOU. 2 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake Moderator No. 10 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Cool photos. I love the photo of the guy getting blown up by Herbert. He was literally lost on that play. He actually looked like he was admiring our cheerleaders just as the truck ran over him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sitting in section 19 and watched the defender. I thought he was looking up in the stands and then he turned to see green jersey and then grey skies... Hi might have been admiring and awe of the crowd in Autzen and considering a transfer to Oregon before getting blown up?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck No. 12 Share Posted October 23, 2023 When you make a commitment to something you are all in, wow. My family, businesses, a couple of hobbies and maybe vacation planning might get that kind of dedication, but thank you for giving this place that kind of attention! 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My family, businesses, a couple of hobbies and maybe vacation planning might get that kind of dedication, but thank you for giving this place that kind of attention! You get sucked in. I never intended to have this kind of time given to these two sites, and I did not know going in what it would be. Then "task-creep" sets in, as you see other things you can do that would make things better, and then once you start it--you feel that you should continue. These screenshots is an example, and that does not count the time and cost of the software to convert the TV program from its technology to digital. I had two foul-ups yesterday doing the same thing I've always done, but the technology is fickly and fragile, and I have to figure out the solution each time. And this one little task, creating screenshots, is one small one among so many that are required to have two viable sites. And yet with all of that....they are not profitable. In fact I'm holding my breath at times that the bills will get paid, but due to the generosity of you and others--it evens out. My thanks to all who help... Fans help to create penalties for our opponents... 1 1 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
