Hmm, well I've put a few photos on there but couldn't work out how to het the link on here.
I got it to generate a link but it was massive, so figured it must be wrong.
Anyway, if you go on just put PORSHIEPOO in the search part and it'll bring em up - hopefully! lol.
Thanks for a great site Rheghead, perhaps you know what I'm doing wrong?
Great piccies you guys!

It's only a 2 MP Fuji Finepix.....
Look under your pics in Photobucket. There are 3 lines. Choose the top one...it says "url". Right click on it and choose "copy". Open a reply box in this thread and click on the photo icon (The yellow rectangle with what looks like a couple of mountains) and a wee box comes up. Right click in that and choose "Paste" from the list, then OK. Wait until the whole photo comes up and then click on "Submit". Have a go. Your photos are lovely....I'd love to see them on here!
Ah, that's a bit more like the snow I recall!!!!
Good pics "Shalom" - just goes to show megapixels aren't everything!!!
These pictures are awesome. I just want to book an airplane ticket!

How about resizing your images before uploading them to your host?
800x600 is more than big enough......
Great photos everyone, keep them coming, I've had great enjoyment looking at them all:Razz
Here is a photo which I like, though I wish I'd framed it better and taken it with a better camera. It's in Dunnett Forest.
It's the Moss Monster!!! :)

Fred, they are very brave..[lol] was there something after them that they decided to jump the wall..
No it's just a game they play sometimes, a bit like King of the Castle. They arn't all that high, they could easily jump down without hurting themselves.

Katerina, your thumbnail is perfect! Click on it and you get a larger version and it doesn't take up much room on the messageboard for those who don't have broadband and have to wait for it to load. Well done!

What fantastic photos!
Fred's goats and dry comments got me laughing so hard, I nearly fell off the seat.
Still can't download ours onto this forum though. When I click the Post Reply button, there are no bold/italic/photo options, just a box with the org links at the top, another title box for General..., the Reply to Thread box, Additional Options (scant choice) and the Topic Review. Oh, and some smilies put in somewhere to make up the numbers.
Have I missed anything? Is it anything to do with Internet set up?
Still, here's a link to some of our photies on Photobucket:

Have you tried converting them into jpeg format using 'Save as' in a photo editing program, then uploading using photobucket?

There are whole forums devoted to this sort of enquiry, but I am no expert. However, if you are an expert then you can manipulate the settings on your camera to suit the lighting and subject without much bother.
If you are like me and basically clueless, then I would recommend a camera which has preset options to various situations that you want to photograph eg. Sunsets, fireworks, beach, snow, indoor, flourescent lighting etc etc. You just select the scene type and shoot, and the aperture and shutter speed is optimised.
Resolution is nothing to worry about but I would recommend >5mega pixels, you would struggle to buy anything less these days.
I would also get a camera that takes regular AA or AAA batteries as you can always put rechargeables in and if they run out then you can put dispoables in afterwards so you are not stuck on holiday without a camera.
Anything else with a camera is just added frills.:p
connieb19
05-Mar-06, 12:29
It depends alot on budget really....one of the main requirements for digital
though, is Mega-Pixels....The digicam I use is just a cheap thing that I got off ebay that you could now buy for about £50 and has up to a 6MP resolution......I also use a 35mm SLR for real photography, not digital imaging.
For Digital cameras, check this site out <a href=http://www.dpreview.com/>
HERE</a> then have a nose around ebay for a bargain! (You can get some good SLR's there for under £10 there too!)
Hope you find what you want :)Thanks very much, greatly appreciated!! :)

Katarina, your pictures are great!! Thanks..
Can any-one give me advise on what camera to buy because seeing all these pictures I'm definately going to treat myself to a new one!! :)
Another thing to watch out for is Digital Zoom v's Optical Zoom. The former is next to useless, while the latter gives you the option to zoom in and get either a close-up shot, or pick out a distant object, without comprimising on the picture quality.
I'm on my 2nd generation Fuji Finepix camera and have found that they are easy to use and produce a great picture.
As mentioned by Kaishowing it's worth paying extra to get a decent size memory card so you can take plenty of shots at higher resolutions.

That's Wendy the tabby - so called because she was found (and susequently rescued) with 8 kittens in a child's wendyhouse in Kent. 10 years later, she apparently has some kind of degeneration of her kidneys with blindness as a side-effect. She is stupid beyond belief, completely food-orientated, soft as pudding and has ousted Gus from his bed.
This, however, is Mr Figgis Alistair McGoo. He is a thinking person's cat: clever, thoughtful (he likes to leave the eyeballs of the rabbits he's caught rolling around the kitchen floor of a morning), adventurous, he comes when whistled, he learns, and most importantly, he loves his mummy....

Who's allergic to both of them!
And now I've just read Evelyn's thread about her missing cat and feel terrible.
Does anyone know what happened to it? Was it the cat under the car?
Sorry to bring this cross-threading into play...

Rheghead,really enjoyed looking at everyones photo's.
Have you thought about doing a calander of org photo's for next year?:Razz
How about a Caithness.org calendar for 2007 with all the best photos in it, money could be raised for a worthy cause or two?? MInd you, it would be difficult to choose just 12 photos!!!!!

What about asking the other org's if they mind their photo's being used.You get set up a voting pole and the most popular foe January gets January etc.It could even be sold as a fund raiser.Just a thought.:Razz

lol, the wind was blowing the water back up the waterfall and the cold temperature has frozen the water against gravity :)
It looks like condensation on blades of grass to me. Nonetheless the photo is good.

trust me on this Rheghead, the wind has been blowing the water back up and forming these ice trees :) ok so a blade of grass is the main core, but it still looks good like an upsidedown icicle :)

Not happy with the beach ones as the sky is overexposed. I didn't have a suitable filter at the time.
The plane has had a little post processing to bring out the detail a little.

Phoenix, have you used Paintshop pro to edit out the spooky horse? I've looked and looked and can't see it? ;)
It's that white tree in the background that looks spooky to me. The horse looks like its minding it's own business....
Here are a couple of night time shots from two years ago....

The horse,dog ,cat or fish arent scaring me. What is terrifying me though, is the fact that if i squint my eyes i can see saxovtr in his latest wheelie bin behind the trees on the right of the picture.

Well i for one aint going to get much sleep tonight now Golach.
The night photos were taken using a tripod and timed exposures ranging from a second to 15 seconds. I think those were between 2 and 8 seconds if I remember correctly.
Was set up at the hill at the Hospital and got chased as a patient thought me and my mate were 'stalkers'!
Shame really as the bridge street shot could be a little bit better....
Another form around that time, this time a macro shot of a fly on a tree trunk (dont know why it looks like the moon....), taken with the A95 digital compact on Macro setting.

I too have the Canon A95, did you shoot this on the landscape scene setting? I haven't fathomed all the gubbins on mine yet. :o
I think I lose a lot of detail with not having my camera sat on a tripod.

LOL!! I think someones been at the drammies or worse.
Honestly, I've only brightened the photo just a tad, I can't see any other 'beings' lurking in the photo! lol
Has any one realised that I had deleted the gaudy signs in the photo of St Georges square though? :roll: :D

It is just past Lairg on the Ullapool road. It is well worth a walk round, especially on a sunny crisp spring morning.

Hi, it's been done using camedia master version 4.2. Got the software with my Olympus camera.
Although it isn't the pro version.
Last one....honest. :)
Took this a couple of years ago, again with the Fuji S304.
