 p.1 #1 · New Members of N&W-Welcome! | |
Hi all,
It seems like everyday dozens of new members are joining this awesome forum. Welcome to N&W! I thought I would gather a few suggestions for all of those who are just joining.
-Please try to include the EXIF information (aperture used, shutter, ISO, lens, etc.) when you post a shot, especially if you are asking for critique. This way someone may be able to offer a suggestion because he/she would know what you did.
-Fortunately, I don't think there has been a size restriction on images but try to size them down reasonably. Keep in mind some users are using standard size monitors. Maybe something around 750-775 pixels on the widest side.
-For those who would like to post images here but do not have a subscription please follow these steps:
To post images without a subscription you first need to upload your image to a third party site (try www.bytephoto.com or www.imageshack.us). After doing that right click on the image you uploaded and select "Properties". You will then see a URL Address, highlight and copy this address and then paste in a thread here at FM. Now we will be able to see your shot. If you are using Netscape or a similar browser you can simply right click and select "Copy Image Location" and then paste that. This forum doesn't require you to include the standard Image tags before and after the link. All you need is the link from the properties.
-Try to offer comments/critiques to other members. Don't feel like you aren't yet qualified to offer critique simply because you are new. Look at the shot and see what appeals to you and say something like, great color and composition or maybe I may have done this differently like so and so. This is the only way we can learn to improve our shots when we are out in the field shooting.
-If you are going to post multiple images please do them in the same thread even if the type of species is different. With the increasing amount of posts/day often times posts that haven't received any comments/suggestions are being bumped off the first and second page because of this.
-With the above being said, try to go past the first page when looking/commenting at posts. You may be surprised what beautiful shot there may be on the 4th or 5th page.
-Most importantly have fun!  This is truly the finest photography forum out there. The quality of the images and the quality of the members here are just amazing.
I know I have learned a lot since I've joined this forum and I hope to continue!
And thank you to Fred and all the Moderators that keep this site running!
-Mark
