How to Post Great Photos in Threads
There has been a suggestion to create a new forum concerning photography and all its implications in regard to posting here at
HC.com. We all know how difficult it is to get a new forum going, mostly because this website already does such a good job of covering everything there is about the cultivation of marijuana.
Plainsman1963, in his ever infinite wisdom, allowed that being a cultivation website, there was no place for a photography forum, but…. he paved the way for someone (or all of us
) to put together a useful thread where experts could advise novices in the art of posting good photos.
Since nobody has jumped into the ring to get this thing off the ground…. Permit me to try to get the ball rolling. You’ve all seen
my photos…. They’re no big deal, and I am one of the novices ready to learn.
I do however know how to post a photo in a thread, so maybe we can begin with that. There are several ways to post a photograph; the easiest IMO is to manage your attachments.
When you are writing a post, if you scroll down under your writing window. You’ll find a green area and the button that reads:
Manage Attachments.
Once you
click Manage Attachments, another window opens and invites you to browse your computer for your photo.
Clicking on Browse will open yet another window. You
browse until you find the file you want.
Once you find your photo,
click on it,
click open, and it will allow you to choose another (as many as you want) or to upload the one you’ve chosen.
Don’t close the window until your photos have uploaded.
NOTE: Your photo must be no larger than 800 x 600 pixels, and not more than 107.4 Kb. You can use a wide variety of software to reduce your images if necessary but I’ll allow someone else to go into that. You may upload any files with these extensions: bmp doc gif jpe jpeg jpg pdf png psd txt zip This window below will now appear. If you are ready to upload, click on upload, and then wait!
