Nice pic, you pinched one of my framing techniques!
Pics always look good with a natural frame around them, think this looks a little better without too much shadow in the foreground - what do you think?
Adjusted the curves a touch too, just for my liking

Nothing fancy, just 6X Optical, never use the digital one

The first picture is of the Artesian well that serves the homestead where my niece lives...the second picture is of the Mooloolaba River, about 5 minutes drive from Noosa......The third picture is of Cape Byron Lighthouse........and the last one is clearly stated on the sign.

There are some truly beautiful places in Oz......but so far Byron Bay comes pretty close to perfect.

There never too big! as long as they are under the 200kb limit there fine, you get more detail to see :)
 
I thought I had done them on new lines Willow.......I am going to have to practice some more.....and perhaps make them a bit smaller......I think I have the hang of it now.

This is the one I was talking about, 2nd pic but 3rd thumbnail, is it known as Nobby's point? is it up near newcastle?
 
No it is just minutes away from Noosa. I have been to a Nobby's point but that was near Cairns......which is way up in Far Northern Queensland.
Noosa is just about 90 minutes drive from Brisbane.
 
I am unable to view any of these pictures. All I have is the frame. Can anyone tell me why that is please? I do not usually have problems seeing pictures.
 
Here are a few more of my Oz Pics.

This picture was taken from the AMP Tower........you can see some reflection on the glass (bottom left corner)

These guys live on eucalyptus leaves which is why the sleep so much......eucalyptus has a soporific effect.......he was just snatching 40 winks.

This Fountain can be seen at King's Cross........a very er.......interesting part of the city

This is another picture taken from the vantage point of the AMP Tower.......it allows you to see all the little islands and inlets that make up Sydney Harbour......some of them are very exclusive.

This is the beach at Noosa heads........when I feel really hacked off with things I get out this picture and it all comes back to me.......the soft sand, the warm sun, the cold beer......aaaah heaven

Hi Margaret.

Great photos, I’m glad you found my instructions helpful. I know they aren’t perfect but I try. Hehe
The sizes of your photos that you have put into your posts are fine (500-550 pixels wide) because any wider, in my thinking anyone with a screen resolution set at 800*600 ( I bet there are still quite a lot of people with their screen res’ set at this) will probably have their pages forced much wider, wider than normal and then they will be asking, why are my pages wider than normal. hehe We have had similar problems with members Signature widths.

You can upload larger images than 550 pixels wide as long as you don't put them in your posts just leave them in attachments box because when people click on the image in the attachment box the image opens in a new window and there isn’t a problem with that.

K.S.H suggests that they are never to big, which is true but when uploading images to message boards we have to consider the amount of web space that these large files take up. Ok if it’s a special photo or something but for general purposes, better to keep file size down. Trouble is with these threads that contain members photos is that they usually melt away amongst all the other threads and all the hard work that members have put into sorting their photos will then disappear and rarely be seen again.

This is why we have the Gallery. Anyone who registers to the Gallery can add their own albums to it.
This way all the photos will be together and they will be much easier to find in the future. At the moment each registered member has a quota of around 5000kb of space, which means they can upload about 50 photos with a file size of about 100kb and you could double that to around 100 photos if you half the file size(kb).
Any questions about the Gallery please post in here and we will do our best to answer them.
