A new image for your appraisal:

Try refreshing the page, and then you should see a picture. Hopefully. Perhaps.

I am not really sure about this image. I like the two separately but am not sure on the combination. I am still considering though.

Technically this is very good, it is an interesting effect.

how on earth do I put images up on here.

It's not that I am thick I just don't know how to do it and I have some snaps I am quite proud of and would like to share them.

First you have to have the pictures hosted on the web, perhaps at pBase or similar. Make the size reasonable for the forum, otherwise it will annoyingly mean scrolling excessively.

Then copy the URL, hit the Img tag, paste the URL and hit the Img tag again.

Then the picture should appear. But as Fez has seen, sometimes it doesn't work 100% and the screen may have to be refreshed to see the image.

This is a snap from our office x-mas do last yr when they took us out to paris for a weekend. It won the best picture of paris in the office photography competition and I think it is one of the best photos I have taken.

Don't knock me down too far guys. I am only a beginer

that's fantastic [so much better than the other john's whose picture i still haven't seen]. are those bottles in the water?

John Knight · Post by **John Knight** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 5:13 pm

Not bottles but lights.

very impressive image with the sunlight and water

toll of time [now i have seen it] is interesting, but photographic picture manipulation is a poor cousin to genuine graphic design as far as i am concerned.

Nice image, I'm not surprised it won.

It seemed to load quite slowly, so it might be a bit big. If it helps, I suggest 1000 pixels wide at widest point, 72ppi and a file size of 200-300KB is just about perfect.

I find 500px works fine. Although it can depend on the image. I.E if its something where a lot of detail is important 1000px is suitable for the average forum. I ask people to keep to 500 on my forum for download speeds and keeping those awful horizontal scrollbars at bay.

I think it gets all too easy at times to knock out mediocre photo manipulation after photo manipulation. For it to work well it has to have a strong underlying concept, IMO. I did some photo manipulations for Unit 7, (Exam) in Photography at college. I'll upload them sometime next week, (can't this weekend as they are currently only saved at college and I have no access to the drives from here).
