Later today we will open an additional section to the forum that will contain a selection of Galleries in which you may post some of your photographs.
The purpose of this additional section is two fold. It will allow the posting of larger images and display additional information for the purposes of promoting help and discussion of your photographs. It overcomes the limitation of the Albums that prevent more than one member posting to a single Album. The Album section will continue to be available, and you are encouraged to continue to post examples of your work there.
The maximum file size for this new section is set at 200kB and has a pixel count of 1500 for both width and height. The initial display is automatically reduced to a pixel height of 600, with selectable enlargement permitted over this. You each have a disc space allowance of 5000kB to use as you wish.
We have arranged several categories for you:
Discussion / Help Gallery:
If you wish to either discuss one of your photographs, or require help with any aspect of it, then this is the place for it, or indeed them.
Critique Gallery:
To elicit the opinion of your photograph from others regarding content, composition, or treatment. For this section to work it is obviously necessary for members to comment on posted images in a considered and helpful way. Comments such as “Wow!” or ”Lovely”, or those that belittle, are unlikely to meet this criteria.
Print, Postcard, and Meeting Galleries:
These sections are intended to allow participants to post their entries or record of events. We suggest that you limit the pixel height to 500 here in order to husband your allowance for use in other sections, but that’s only a suggestion.
These galleries will be expanded, as required, it is our intention that we have a gallery for each event.
If you host a meeting or workshop and would like a Gallery to record the event then feel free to ask for one.
Take time when posting to provide as much information as you can, text fields are provided to help you, but don’t get too distressed if you cannot complete them all.
