Post subject: | GUIDELINES FOR POSTING QUALITY PICTURES |
Well, now that we are currently "entrenched" in egg layings, pippings, and hatchings, this brings up the issue of quality pictures. For the most part, everyone is doing a great job with pictures, but occasionally some pics are posted, usually in haste, that aren’t quite up to snuff. The main problems we run into with pictures are: * A picture that is so large that it throws the whole page out of whack * A picture that is too blurry and/or distorted, making it difficult to see what the heck the poster is trying to show As administrators and moderators, we can certainly understand the reasons: looking for pips, hatches, etc. But in an effort to maintain quality, we may occasionally do one of the following: * Resize/crop/edit the pic ourselves. * Ask the person who has posted the pic to resize, etc. * If the picture is really blurry and/or distorted, and after trying to edit, we may delete the picture all together. If we do this, we will try to post a message in its place that the picture was deleted. When posting pictures please make sure they are as great a quality as possible. They should be clear and without distortion. Pictures should measure at the widest about 800 pixels (About 8 inches). This will keep the forum width manageable. Anything over that will be rejected by the forum and you will need to resize. Our goal with the forum is to encourage a world wide dialogue that educates and informs the followers of Bird Cams Around the World. A huge thank you to all for your great efforts in making this such a respected forum worldwide. And remember: A good picture is worth more than a 1000 words! Examples of unsuitable pictures- too blurry/distorted. Size is fine in all. You get the picture!! |
