I've started an album on my home page called "Pictures don't LIE!" I only have a few pictures there for now, but will be adding more as time passes. I have permission from Ekidokia to use pictures of him I find on GeocachingMaine, that's why you only see him and my Grandson for now. If you would like to have someone, Ridicule :mad:, Be little :(, or just make fun of you :eek:, just drop me an email telling me I can USE (and abuse) your pictures, and I'll see what I can do! If you rather not have me use your pictures, that's OK, please check back once in a while to see if there are any NEW pictures of others that you know. :p

I may have to log a DNF on that album....

the album rcwhit refers to can be found on this site.....

I found it by going to his profile here and clicking the link under stats for albums created or some such thing

I love this picture:



This one is very funny:

Mapachi, are there any cameras that survived takeing your picture? :( I can't seem to find anything that has your name in the discription. If your going to GC21H2B at the end of the month, Maybe I can get a few good pic there to work with. I'll be taking lots of pictures there to try to put faces to all the names I see on this site. :)

Feel free to use mine!

CUTE! Great job :)

Love it, keep them coming!

I have suggestion - Why not make an article and you can post the pictures all in the first post and you can update the page when you make new ones.

If that sounds like something you'd like to do and you need any help let me know.

Feel free to use any of my photos, I have loads of em on the site. If you need any ID's of people I might be of some help there too as long as it was before 07 when I left to move down here to the south.

Very clever. I liked it :)

I'm not sure what you mean. I would like to put them someplace where people can download a bigger picture if they want to print some thing out. On the regular Geocaching picture pages you can download a larger photo and save it. I tried to download one from my album and it was really small. Will doing what you are talking about allow people to download a large picture?

Hi Tat and Haffy.
Will be glad to see what I can do for you. I'm trying to learn and get better with the program and the best way is to practice! Just remember . . . . YOU ASKED FOR IT! :D

The articles section of the web site is very much like a forum post, but with a few added features. Mainly, you can edit it at a later date. You should be able to place a linked thumbnail to a larger picture in there, like this:

http://www.geocachingmaine.org/gallery/data/502/thumbs/paraglider.jpg (http://www.geocachingmaine.org/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/1721)

Clicking on the thumbnail once should take you to a bit larger version in the album. Clicking on the image in the album should load the full resolution image.

Alternatively, you can place a linked medium sized image right in the article, which would probably be even better, like this:

http://www.geocachingmaine.org/gallery/data/502/medium/paraglider.jpg (http://www.geocachingmaine.org/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/1721)

Do you know what resolution the files are you uploaded? They appear to be 400 high and 600 wide now. If the ones you uploaded were larger than that, I think I know what the issue with it is and we can get around that.

Let me know that much, we'll take it one step at a time.

The pictures I make are made to print a 4x6" picture and are around 700 KB each.

I thought the album might have been resizing them, but it should not be.

Were they jpg?

I was wondering, would it be easier just to put them in the Photo Gallery under Geocaching Faces of maybe even start a new one called Humorous Photos or something like that. The Photo Gallery will let people download a large size picture all ready and also would let people place a comment on the ones they liked.

YES they are JPG's

I don't see any reason why you can't upload a large image to the photo gallery.

The gallery would work almost as good, but more people are apt to look at them in an article format, especially if they are posted there in the medium size. The smaller thumbnails on the gallery page are hard to see without clicking on each one individually.

If we can get around the problem of uploading the larger pics to the gallery, posting them in an article is the easy part.

Could you have possibly uploaded smaller versions of your images?
Does it say there is a maximum file size or image size on your upload page?

I just tried to download a picture of mapachi from his album page and it was only 59 KB so it is the album that will not let you down load a large picture. Most of my pictures I upload are around 300 to 350 KB. When I down load from the Photo Gallery they are 300 KB (same size I uploaded). When I download from the album they are only 45 KB even though the upload was 300 KB. The picture I downloaded from mapachi is to small to work with.
I didn't use the photo Gallery because i didn't know if every one wanted my "doctored" photos there.

Got it now. There are restrictions on your individual album pictures where there are not in the photo gallery. I actually thought they were the same. So it was my turn to learn something.

So now I have an easier, much better idea. If We can get Rick to up the limits in the albums, we can make a link to your album in the Articles section without your having to mess with an article. All you would need to do is delete the pics and upload the higher resolution ones.

The max image size has been increased and you should have no problem uploading the larger images to your album now.

It worked for me, anyway (http://www.geocachingmaine.org/forum/album.php?albumid=18).

OK, Thanks for all your help! Will try it out tonight.

And speaking of pictures...

I want to remind members to periodically browse the pictures on the website. We have some great photographers among us.

:D:D

Just seeing if I can make this link work. :confused:

I hope to have better pictures after a couple of events like the one at the end of the month. Easier to come up with stuff when you have a better selection of to work from. :D I have about 40 pictures done, but want to wait until after Karens event to post them. Going to have them on a electronic picture frame there for all to see. :eek:

While we were out caching today (March 11, 2010) we managed to spot a patriotic brdad.....

Very cute! I like to think I am patriotic.
The pictures are getting better and better. Well, that one of Mike at Wal-Mart is a bit scary. :eek:

Haven't seen Mike at Wal-Mart. Might stop shopping there if I had.

Not sure what you mean by the pictures are getting better and better. That's an unaltered picture I took yesterday on our geo travels while caching. It's on Route 3 out of Augusta headed toward Belfast. It's in Vassalboro, to be exact.

Yes, I saw your patriotic brdad FB pic. The pics getting better was referring to rcwhit's additions to his albums. there was a few I had not seen, including the one of Mike at Wal-mart.

Okay. I follow you now. Haven't looked at the pics in a while.

Can you believe they fired me after that?

That's hard to imagine. You don't look a lot different from the regular customers there. :rolleyes:

Make fun of me all you want. I am used to people laughing at me......Especially women.
