And just what the @#$@ is wrong with just lurking? If this site had easier way to post images I might post more .... it's my understanding that to post on here you have to post a photo on another site then post a link to it here....THAT'S LAME!

There's nothing wrong with lurking Crowhop. I don't think I ever said it was bad. The point of this post is to encourage participation because if everyone lurked then what would the point of having a forum be?

As for linking photos that's pretty much how it works with most forums not just this one. What's lame is that you're basically wanting to hand over your photos to admin just to save the trouble of linking your pictures. I much rather have total control of my photos from "my side" of the internet and just post a link.

You are so right on both points, this site will only get better if more people get involved, I also prefer to post pics the way it's done here and elsewhere

Tru Dat Pete.

That's me on the right, though I have no idea what I'm wearing. It's a gift bracelet from bmxdad I think ;^)

I don't post many photos on any site, if I want to keep control of my pics I keep them off the net completely. There are some photos I would like to post here but not other places, but cannot do it.

You know that is how I felt too a while ago, even prevented me from posting on DpReview, but to get a free Flickr account is easy and once you linked pictures from there it gets to be easy, piece of cake

I only use my Flickr account for fun pictures, I have other things in the works, that I don't share with everyone, why don't you give it a try, if you need help, we can and will do so

Thanks for being the one on the right, that bracelet is not really my thing, a bit to feminine but looks good on you though

BTW this most be the first time we agreed on anything, Niko

Oh come on that's not true Pete! I've agreed with you before, but ever since you started your cooling fan equipped Nikon Pro flash request you think I hate your ideas :^(
I'll buy your affordable Nikon full frame for $1500USD. Even if it's only 6mp :^)

Crowhop what would a photo forum be if no one posted any pictures?! The stuff I post around here is for the most part my personal stuff. I'd like to post more but I cant because of clients wouldn't like it :^(

Anyway if you need help understanding how to post a picture just Private Message me and I'll help you out. Like Bmxdad said flickr is easy and free to use and they provide the html code you need. All you do is copy paste and you don't have to worry about typing any code yourself.

If you're using something other than flickr then you'll have to type the code into your post like this

The link to your picture is between the quotes "". Just make sure your link ends in lowercase .jpg.

I'm moving from being a lurker to being a participant; just doing it gradually. My reasonS for not posting are that I don't have a Nikon camera and that I don't really have much to contribute. As I have definitely decided to move to the "darkside" as my Canon friends say..., I WILL be getting a Nikon just undecided on which one to buy. I have recently posted about my choice dilemna (D90 v D300s v New D700 that hasn't been released). So I probably will not post much until I am fully vested into Nikon camera stuff.

I DID trade even on my Canon 580II flash for a Nikon SB900. Just waiting for something to slip the flash on to at this point. Tell them (Nikon) to hurry up with the D700 replacement--that is my preferred camera...at least today, this minute...

Thanks for sharing that with us nikyvee. I'd like to think, despite the joking around, we welcome all camera users to this forum. You can tells us about your first hand experiences with using canon as others like Bmxdad have done.

Whatever replaces the D700 it's going to be good! :^)
