Another vote for the photography section.

I've been using SLR's since mid 70's, still got a case full of 35mm Pentax bodies/lenses in the loft that's probably worth zero these days. One thing I can't get on with is holding a camera in front of me and framing using a screen, so all my camera's have "proper" viewfinders .

Nice thing about digital is you just keep shooting and pick the best compared with paying to have rolls of film developed & printed.

what i call shotgun photography. fire 50, one's got to be a hit.

That's the beauty of digital cameras.

Thankfully, long gone are the days of taking your roll of film down the chemist and praying you'd get some decent pictures back!

And the cost, I once got through 7-8 36 exp rolls in 4 days, cost a fortune for developing & printing!

Great idea, I've made a note in the staffroom for Dan to make a new sub-forum.

Photos would need to be low-res if you're going to attach them because of the filesize limit. I doubt the limit can be made larger because it will have a negative effect on the speed of server and it also makes for very slow page load times if the thread has lots of large images on it. It would be best to host the images on a filehosting site then hotlink them in the threads.

Art, innit!

Thanks Marvo you got a thank off me as well, I hope we can get it up and running soon.

best way i've found to upload images is to get it in photoshop, then save as jpg and when you get the option save as low res . to destop, then upload.

Our Lass has just come back with a new camera bag for me. I would take a photo of it but my camera is now dismantled along with the lenses inside the bag!!

I use PhotoBucket. The advertising is a pain but you can’t complain when it’s free. It doesn’t matter if the picture is a bit on the large side, the forum will show it as best fit.

As Marvo has said, you’re not cluttering up the server. An added advantage is you can remove your work when you can’t log on to the forum.

Looks a popular idea this,so might get some help off me old man...he was a professional press photographer all his working life,last 40 odd years of his career,with Manchester Evening News. He went all over the world,and,as a kid,i followed him on some jobs. He started when it was own developing,hand-copy and hot lead,went through the digital,wireless transition. He is 78 now,but still has most of his old kit,Nikon,Minolta,Haselblad,Rollei etc,but only uses a small digital job now. So,the photography section may provide a good place to post the 20,000 pictures that he took of me growing up,in 1 minute intervals!... :stooge_curly:
