URGANT MESSAGE grab your camera and make $

Post by mick »

This photo is about 100 x 80 cm, its in a forthcoming auction, I thought Id post it as you dont see many weather items in art auctions.

I think its horrible, everyone on here takes better..............auction range 6-8 THOUSAND. I can only suggest we all start looking at pics in the HD.

I don't get it.

Someone is willing to pay 6 grand for a photo of some powerlines with the moon in it? I can't even sell one photo on RedBubble :?

Or is this one of those arty farty abstract pieces that I always fail to see the meaning in?

hmm...

I've got plenty of shots with power lines, I actually aim not to have them in the shot.
Maybe doing something wrong here..

Dunno anything about Picasa sorry. I'd suggest getting a Flickr account if you want a quick way to upload and share.

As for how I got it up on the forum...I just right clicked on the link you'd left in your post and went copy link location (copy shortcut in internet explorer), then when i posted clicked the Img button and pasted your link in there.

Picasa has been taken over by google,
previous you could open up a photo out of your album
pick the size you want, it would then give you the link
I could then go into this other site http://kleel.nfshost.com/oilu.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; past the link - then it would be changed
and whamo pop into the site.
anyway.. until I try it again.. thanks...

This thread made me laugh as like has been said, I hate having power lines in photos as they are ugly man made things which you can see everywhere you go in Aus.

Here's one out front of my place on Xmas eve of that awesome developing nuke updraft a few mins before I jumped in the car, I hate it to be honest lol

Hi Shell, I noticed that too earlier this year with Picassa - was really frustrating that they changed it all without notice.

What I have found is that since the change, it looks like all my images have defaulted to be visible only to me. (each of the albums in 'my photos' will have a little padlock icon to show they are private albums).

If you go into the album you want to share, you'll see on the right hand side that you can edit the album details - click it and on the bottom of the opened window you can change it form "only me" to "anyone with the link"

Then, when you look at a particular image, you will see there is now a "link to this photo" button on the middle right of the screen. You can then choose the link size etc, just as before...
