Boo-bells in Springtime!

Boo · 26-03-2006, 11:33

As the weather has been making things difficult for getting out there and shooting flowers I thought I would share with you a pikkie I took 3 years ago using my dads's fuji 602z. We discovered a gem of a spot for shooting bluebells. I've given it a gaussian blur to give a hopefully nice and dreamy feel about it.

Boo · 26-03-2006, 11:34

Ok.... humph! why isn't the picture showing? Its in the gallery on here and I copied and pasted the url where I should.....????

mfwild13 · 26-03-2006, 11:44

Link should be to the .jpg

Picture very small though.

CT · 26-03-2006, 11:59

Here you go Boo.

Boo · 26-03-2006, 12:00

I don't understand then... ok this is exactly what I did:

I logged into my gallery, then opened up the picture. I then went into my explorer bar and copied the url, which I then pasted into the little box that comes up when you click the 'insert image' button.

I didn't know how else to link to the picture, and I've not got a clue why its so small.

Its the first time I've posted a pikkie so I'm up the creek without a paddle

Boo · 26-03-2006, 12:02

Oooh thanks CT but why can't you see a border round the whole lot to include the caption

CT · 26-03-2006, 12:07

I see the border and the caption Boo.

What you did was link to the small thumbnail preview pic. You need to click on that to open the full size image, then copy the url just as you did, but when you paste the url in your posting pane here, it needs to be between the image tags: [img].....[/img] with no spaces.

There's a 'How to'

Boo · 26-03-2006, 12:34

Sorted it. Phew! on the first link there was html on the end... I re-did the process but got the right url - stupid woman! the only thing is that its not very clear the way I've done the border.... the line that you see was the thin mat part, with a frame round the whole thing which also went round the caption... thats something I need to sort out in PS. I automatically assumed it would define the edge of the canvass area a tad more but it didn't.... back to the drawing board.

Anyway lol do you like the picture?

Fangman · 26-03-2006, 12:42

Still shows the thumbnail. But looks worth waiting for when the posting is sorted.

I knew it would be worth the wait!

CT · 26-03-2006, 12:44

Yes, I like the pic. Bluebells and Poppies are my favourite wild flowers anyway, and that's a fantastic carpet of Bluebells there.

The only image I see in this thread is in mfwilds post ??

Ok I give up!

I haven't got a clue whats going on now! I'm usually pretty good with this sort of stuff and being my first pikkie post I've gone right off the idea

Steep · 26-03-2006, 14:05

The only image in your gallery Boo is the small version of the bluebells, you'll need to upload a bigger version before you can display it.

mfwild13 · 26-03-2006, 14:07

Dont give up, the picture looks worth sharing.

Go to the gallery, display the image you want to share, right click on the image, select properties and then copy the address (url). Paste that into the forum.

Boo · 26-03-2006, 14:21

But thats what I did so I can't understand why its all gone wrong...... I can see at least 3 on this thread 2 large and one small..... I just checked out my gallery again and the picture has gone small.... I swear its been huge all morning lol

Keltic Ice Man · 26-03-2006, 14:24

Hi Boo

Dont give up

I've had a look at your gallery and there is only 1 pic. The pic that you have uploaded was either really small or has been resized by the gallery. Have a look at your original pic size. Make sure it is less than 160K and that it is less than 800 pixels on its long side. That way the gallery wont try to resize.

From what I can see of the small pic, it really is good, and well worth sharing.

Hope this helps

Allan

Steep · 26-03-2006, 14:24

I think the big ones you can see are on your hard drive Boo, try uploading it again. Maybe a mod can have a look at the links in your threads and see what if anything is wrong with them too.

***Steve*** · 26-03-2006, 14:59

Give me a minute and I will check your gallery setting and the size of the file that you have uploaded. From there at least we will know what is happening and should be able to help.
