How to Post Great Photos in Threads

[greenfern]

Hi Milagro, Great tutorial on uploading photos. Have a new Pentax istD camera and am just going to upload my first set of pics to my PC. Hope I don't goof up. If all goes well I will try and get some photos of my ladies , some of which are having symptoms of a problem I can't quite diagnose . Thanks for the step by step. This will make it so much easier!

Does this feature below still work? If so what are the tags? I have been using {img}url{/img} except using [] for the {}. I can see the pics when I preview and post, and even when I log out and view the post as a guest.

Yet it seems nobody else can see them

Is there anyway to insert pictures hosted elsewhere using codes?

I cant upload pictures or use the posting tools. I use a proxy server to access these type of sites and it doesnt process certain Java,PHP, etc apps too well.

Another way to post photos is to find them online already, anywhere.



Right click on the photo and you’ll open this up:

Click on properties. You’ll open this window:

Highlight the address beginning with the www,as shown below:

Copy it, then go back to the Insert Images button , and click it, paste your address in the script prompt,

Click OK, (make sure your cursor is where you want the photo to go) and once more, you’re good to go!

There are other methods to put photos in your posts, such as uploading them to MJ.com instead of to HC.com as in the Manage Attachments area. I’ll let others explain some of the other methods.



The purpose of this thread is not only to show how to post photos, but how to take good photos as well. I hope some of our talented members will come forward to build a thread here that will assist all of us in producing better shots.



I have a Canon Power-Shot A70, which has all the bells and whistles, but I have no clue as to use anything other than automatic mode. One tip I can give you all….


When I want a close-up, I shoot through a magnifying glass! If I knew more about shutter speeds and apertures, maybe my photos wouldn’t be so blurry.



C’mon Community… Let’s all become photographers we can be proud of!
