UKY Camera Club

Okay, so do you want me to start a poll this week and let everyone vote for their favourites, or shall we just say here on the tread whose we like best? How does everyone else want to do this? Should we just forget the voting aspect and just take pictures? Let me know what you think!

I'm all for just posting our pics and telling each other how much we like them! But if others want something more structured, that's fine with me too.

Can I join? 

Also can somebody please help a Sista out and explain to me how to post pictures in a thread? I am so not with it when it comes to computer techy things. 

You have to have somewhere to host your photo first. Somewhere like flickr or Photobucket. But I use my LiveJournal and just make a private (me only) post with my photos in it there. After that, I right click on the pic, select 'Properties' and copy the URL. Then I come to UKY, and when I'm typing a post, I select the 'Insert Image' icon at the top - it's the one that looks like a picture. It's in the second row, second from the left, directly under the 'Italics' icon. When you click on the 'Insert Image' icon, you get this:

[ img ] [ / img ]

(But without all the spaces)

You just paste your image URL between the [ img ] and the [ / img ].

That's it!

Chary gave you great instructions.  Just wanted to add in one more thing,  some sites make the photos huge- so you have to do sizing by inserting in width and height dimensions

My photos above were sized
[img width=200 height=150]  website  [img]

Thanks for adding that! 

If you upload to imageshack.us it gives you a link entitled "Forums" If you cut and paste that into the post, it does all the tagging and you get a neat thumbnail for people to click on.

Okay, well I guess it's better to just leave it open, without a poll and just discuss.  And whoever wants to jump in and participate can join us anytime!

Chary, I think your Pisces necklace was the most creative as far as the fish theme goes!  And I love that little fishmonger van... too cute! 

Cheesebiscuit, I love how abstract your shots are and how you can just see the fishy face in them. 

Phatbeetle, I think the prawns are a great shot and it makes me hungry! Plus I'm sure there are some fish in that water somewhere.  It's a beautiful landscape. 

I like the idea of using Imageshack like CB, because it's nice to be able to click on a smaller image and see a bit more detail. But whatever's clever!

Thanks for the instructions ladies!

I have a photobucket account but I may look into imageshack to see which one I prefer.

I'm excited about this and ready to get started!

OK, let's see everyone's Halloween photos! Mine aren't very good this week, I'm afraid. I'll have a look through what I've got and post something later, but they're a bit dull. We didn't dress up, we have no children to dress up, the cat refused to dress up and no trick or treaters came to us.

What's the new theme?

LOL! I know what it means! It's just that it's not nearly as specific as the past two themes we've had. It seems a bit incongruous ... and I'm not sure if that's going to make it much easier or much more difficult. We shall see!

That's the whole point   

It's about fostering creativity, is the theme was always something obvious then people would always take pictures of obvious things, it's about taking the theme and leaping off of it. 

Here's my pictures  







Now Rufus is a bear who has Type 1 diabetes.  The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation provides newly diagnosed kids with a Rufus bear and a storybook about how Rufus copes with his Diabetes.  He has patches on him where you can practice giving him injections and learn about injection site rotation and has red patches on his paws so you can check his blood glucose levels and he always wears a medical ID bracelet.  
Rufus offers security and comfort to a child with diabetes.

Rufus wanted to get in on all the halloween action this weekend, so the kids were able to decorate masks for their bears to wear  

Those are great pictures, L!! I love Rufus!! 

CB, I have no problem at all with creativity! The more creative the photo, the better! But I just looked at the BBC site and the theme is 'Bonfire Night'. Where did 'Gap' come from?

Any more interrogation questions?
