Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Melvil]

My entries - no bikes involved, but it is winter.
And feet were definitely involved, even though they may not be in the picture.

That sunset pic is lovely.

Yes......cant seem to get anything to play on it these day

Wocky you dropped your pen

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

It was amazing lighting - there was also a pink glow on the Pennines to the east, but that didn't come out so well in the piccies.

That will have been an earth shadow. It needs a high level of pollution in the atmosphere to the east for it to happen because to see a shadow you need it to be cast on to something if that makes sense and air is not really a good this to cast a shadow on normally!

This website explains it if you are interested. www.atoptics.co.uk/atoptics/earshad.htm

One of my photos of it from Scotland can be seen here. Again the shadow was to the east of my location at sunset. It is a surprisingly common occurrence stood time of year.

Can I just enter my photo website as it has lots of pics inside of it: www.tiltedimage.com

Plus I still can't work out how to post pics on Cyclechat - I must be some sort of idiot!

Your best option is just to use the file upload button and load a fresh copy to the cc server. Its what I do rather than try to link to my website which prevents those links from working... So as I type this the file upload button is to the right of post reply. I I usually keep it to 800 or 1024 pixels wife with a 72 DPI for copyright protection. No-one can readily use it at that and certainly not print from it, and the owner of this site does not take any copyright but you uploading images to his site.

Ah, writing......not something that the south Manchester mob will be familiar with

I believe this is a manchester pen

And as judge I will only be looking at this thread. It's a big enough job with all the waffle and herons and feet. To be fair the current challenge has lots of lovely pictures

Just right mouse click on the image on your website and select Copy Link Address ( depends on browser ) then come in here and click on the Picture icon and paste the pictures URL into it that you just copied.

Just tried it on his website and it works ok.

Have you had a look at his website, I think we are not quite in the same league, for a start I didn't see a single photo of a foot or a heron

On the other hand .... He might win, then he'd be in charge for the next one

I've been planning mine today. It's going to be really grim!

I knew this thread wouldn't stay hidden for long, time to step it up a notch I think

Sometimes the links don't work on here is what I meant. You just get a image can't be displayed icon...

Yet but they have to meet the current rules...
So we stand a chance with at least this competition. Oh actually we don't. I think @Spinney had that one sewn up personally!

Yes I have had that.

What I find helps is when you copy the URL make sure it ends in a file extension for example http://www.abc.com/picture.jpg some websites reference the pictures using a link to a database, google sometimes does this, and CC cant understand it so wont display the picture so you get either and error or a blank place holder instead.
