You sure were. I like that one. I like this theme. I have a bunch I could use already from the weekend, but I think I'll hold out for now.

I can't believe we are pretty much half way through with no more entries. I suspect it being the summer may have something to do with it and a lot of people are on their holidays etc.

Just waiting still. I haven't processed any of the shots I took this weekend. There were a couple I wanted to see for entering. I hopefully won't forget this time.

I'll be uploading one sometime, just need to pull my finger out and do something.

Aight get to it both of ya!

[Skiver Veteran]

oh come on!!!

 

I demand the three of you post something today!

[AJerman]

Fine, but I've got 10 days to find something better, haha. I wanted to use my car but I haven't gotten anything that I really like yet. This one was cool though, caught a stream on the way down.

 

 

On the plus, I think my photography/post processing skills have increased quite a bit recently, so hopefully I start getting more quality shots. Still learning this camera.

[Skiver Veteran]

Nice car and nice shot.

You've captured the sky and clouds beautifully there.

[McKay]

Damn you guys actually have cameras  :rofl:

 

Smartphone away!

How does one post a flicker link please?

Having a nice fancy camera certainly allows for a little more flexibility with somethings but you don't need it to take a great photo.

When you post, there is a little tool for posting pic's as long as you have the URL to the picture itself.

Thanks, my car is the subject of most of my pictures. :laugh:

Yep know all about that ta but I cant seem to get a valid link from google+ or flickr the later says use the shortcut but it doesnt appear to show a direct link

[Skiver Veteran]

Oh I see, sorry, didn't mean to think so little of you!

 

I see it's hosted on Flickr so if you go to your photo stream and select the image, it should open it to a more detailed view etc. Then if you right click you get options to view in a specific size, I pick Medium, from there then you can right click and should be able to get the Image URL.

 

Not sure if there is an easier way but that's how i have done it.

 

this is yours...

Ok thanks Got it I think, what a convoluted way to get a link and Google+ only seems to provide links to folders not images :huh: :D

 

[Odom Member]

I'm going to try and upload mine through Picasa, see if that works, as I already have an account there.

 

 

The link I get from Google+ shows the picture but not the EXIF info. I have this link here for that, which goes to the folder.
