Photo Gallery

[Geoff.W]

I recon we have some real good photographers on here who have posted some nice photos, however they do seemed scattered around the threads. I have noticed that other forums often have "Photo Gallerys" that are sectioned and was wondering if anyone else would like one on here if we could talk Admin into setting it up, may be a non starter but would be intrested in some other views.

Hi Geoff
There is already a Photo gallery if you look in forums

Yes I am aware of that, but I find it it difficult to, for instance, view other members campers. and find the "sectioned" format particularly with thumbnails easier to use.

 

[Geoff.W]

I take it you mean something similar to the other forum (mhf).
It is quite easy to use but I don't know what implications it may have for Admin or if it would be compatible (photo size etc)
maybe admin will read this forum and check it out.

Yes thanks Graham you've summed it up well for me, I just thought that a more accessable photo gallery might help to attract more of the "guests" to get involved
By the way sorry for the slight mix up, I submited the post instead of previewing and had to edit it to make sense as I had missed a bit out, I think you probably read the post prior to the edit.

I agree with you both about a photo gallery for, members vans, meets, etc.
I too, am a member of the other site, but, I never join in there because I find this one more friendly and informative.
Im sure admin will take your suggestions into consideration.
I would like to see a thread with a pictorial journey of wildcamp sites from "A" to "B"
I plan to do this, maybe next week, from "blairgowrie to braemar"
taking photos as I go, Its a very picturesque part of Scotland
straight through Glenshee, and passing Balmoral castle
(no camping on the road when "SHE" in in residence)
then over the moor (bleak in winter) to tomintoul
directions to a site are ok, but I think photos would be a better idea
what do you think?

Another good idea. One of the reasons I started this thread was hopefull to get other peoples ideas as I'm sure they are likely to be much better than mine.
I must add, I agree 100% with your comments on how friendly and informative this site is.

A picture says a thousand words

Or is it paints ?. I know where you're coming from Geoff. But I'm still struggling to post my favourite pics.
I wonder if Admin would consider increasing the file size allowed on this site as I have loads of old pics that I would like to share with you all but can only do so in thumbnail format.
I've tried using my camera on the lowest (economy) mode but the quality of pics are not good.

If you search this site you will find some awesome pics,especially the ones of Scotland by Hillwalker,I think , I dont know how they do it.
My camera is nothing special,just a £70 ,7 mega pixel bog standard pocket camera

Couldn't agree more about Hillwalkers awesome pics.

Was going to suggest photobucket but Nick beat me to it.

Photos

I can't manage to post Photos either, ***** reccomended me to open an account in Photobucket which I have done but getting them from there to hear!!! now thats a tricky one. Maybe if ADMIN could post a thread of very simplistic instructions for those of us that are Informationcommunicationtechnologically challenged then we could all see whateverone else has got ( in the best possible taste) of course.

i use lunapics.com, and i find it ok to use. i upload from my pics file,then host then copy and paste to my message, silly it seems easier to do it than explain how to do it .

Hi Rick.
The way I manage to transfer mine is:-

Left click on "img code" the box then becomes highlighted in blue, (ignore yellow "copied" flag).

Right click on blue box, left click "copy".

Use right click - paste directly into here ( dont use "insert image" facility)

Don't know if it's right but it works for me.

Done a trial run this very minute with trying to post a snapshot onto Wild Camping. 1) open up Photobucket. 2) Sign in. 3) Click on the snapshot you want to show up on Wild Camping.
4) To the right of snapshot look for list of types of images and click on (IMG Code) Then go to the top and click COPY. 5) Close Photobucket. 6) Go to Wild Camping and click on reply, your reply box will open. 7) Click in the reply box to put your cursor in it, then, go to the top and click PASTE. Presto you have it. That is the way I done it a few minutes ago. Best of luck.

Just tried David and Ann's suggestion, Lets see if it works.

If the picture appears,then this is a view of the firth of forth from Preston Pans,We nearly stayed there last weekend.

Hi Lenny, great view of the Firth and the back end of your MH. Wonder what the front end looks like!!!!

 

[lenny]

Yippee I did it

Problem is its the wrong photo, That was a snap of Hadston beach the next morning, Also the snap is too big for my monitor. Hope this one works,this should be the bay at Preston Pans.

Thanks all for your help,,Lenny

In Photobucket, you can resize your pics to Message Board size before you Copy & Paste them on here.
They will then fit in a lot better, and everone can see the pic in its entirety without scrolling from left to right.

 

[Biker Jeff]

When you click on your photo in Photobucket, there is a box at the top left hand side of the pic to resize it.
Choose the Message board size, and then copy the img link.

It will then paste on here like this...

Wow. Nice bike Jeff. I've just resized a snap and gonna try it now.
It's a snap of me and Tonyfu (another member) on Hadston beach.
