Now I know we have the digi-darkroom as a kind of “wing of TPR” :Poke: Dezy :chuckle: but I would like somewhere to post pictures and or get advice from those who are users of digital or traditional photography on here.
So I would like as a member of TPR to request a forum for Photography discussion and a sub forum for galleries (nil post count maybe ?).
How many digital camera users do we have here - I’m not talking a full on technical forum because that in my opinion would be stepping on toes, but recently we’ve had a few really nice shots posted in the cantina. I am making an effort to get out the house by using the camera as a kind of reason for walks, and photos are nothing without an audience and comments, and I would like to share and see others efforts as well.
in the admin panel the attachment option for a “gallery” forum could be turned off. For those without webspace, I’m sure I could find some down the back of the sofa :lol: Good point though Neal
Personally, I quite like photobox.co.uk as other can buy the prints you upload as well. There is an affiliate scheme that could benefit the forums as well
I’d say as long as there was a size limit imposed then it would be fine to put the image in the thread, as there are people who maybe don’t know how to do a thumbnail with a link to bigger picture and tbh you can’t really see much of a pic from a thumbnail.
If the picture is one where it really needs to be viewed full size, then you could put a link to the full size in with the post so that people can choose to see then.
I’m sure a suitable sticky can be created, with useful tips and links
to all those essential freeware apps to help do the business.
End of day I don’t see it being a digi-darkroom type thing as there very
specialised and have there own unique space {Some very good advice given from
people who honestly know what there talking about}.
But as a general area for us core TPR’ers to show off a few snaps and a general
chit chat I think it would be quite interesting.
Worth trying it for a bit to see how it goes, nothing say’s we need to keep it
if it does not take off.
