Wow very nice there. I think you should start a photography blog. I have two of them myself. -
Nah, I will keep it as taking pictures. Photography is for the professionals
-
@crkian
All of them are really nice photos.
-
Thanking you. Most of them the kids took, they got me to do the close ones. Got some great shots of them climbing trees.
-
-
I don't know anything about photography though really. I started a photography blog just on clouds. I never seen any online so I figure it was something different. Can't take a bad shot! ha
-
Clouds, interesting niche do you get many into nephology visiting your blog

I just checked this as I am running out the door.
The image file size is too big for web. It's about 2.5MB, You might be better to shrink it and export as a smaller size.
CREATE A DUPLICATE FIRST-
hmm, I thought I had shrunk them. Will have a check
-
Do you know how to shrink them?
-
I shrunk them slightly other than that nope without losing quality
-
Yes you'll lose quality no doubt
but they are a bit heavy, go for a happy medium...maybe a thumbnail that points to the real one
-
-
Very nice...but I don't like bugs! :O -
Some nice shots there mate (You see City's result! Come on you Tigers!) -
Looks exactly like the salad I had for lunch -
wow very cool! Now go take some pictures of herbs for me...LOL
I like stuff that is close up so you have to guess what it is...-
You need pictures of herbs?
-
-
Very neat. I want to buy myself a new digital camera. Would you recommend the model you use?-
-
Thanks
-
-
WOW!!!! That picture is amazing! So sharp and crystal clear.
Who would have thunk it??
How many other talents do you have that we didn't know about? Or did your little boy actually take that pic and you're taking the credit for it.
-
Thanks my lovely
-
-
Cool flower smelling stuff and thanks for sharing Chris,
Do we smell another talent of yours here?-
I wouldnt call it a tallent I only just started

Nice closeups.
What are you using to display the images Next and Previous? With Wordpress 2.5 you can bulk upload a folder of images and then place the code [gallery] and all the pictures you upload in one sitting is displayed as thumbnails automatically (or click that "upload gallery" button).
When I click the Next link, it reloads the page and the background doesn't show up for me by the time I want to scroll to the next picture image in the static slideshow.-
Nextgen gallery, I should have just used the gallery function but I thought I would give next gen a try. Something is conflicting with the images somewhere but i was to tired last night to look.
-
thanks It's nice to see Nexgen still works at least in 2.5 .. I have it in 2 blogs still at 2.3.3. version.
-
I have not found a plugin besides Link Directory that dont work with 2.5
-
My semiologic related searches, posts, and feed entries crashed the system on v2.5+ ... However, for related posts I've switched to wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-23-related-posts-plugin/
I've also been checking out rmarsh.com/plugins/ for related stuff too, but prefer the first link I listed above.

Great pictures I enjoyed looking at them. That camera takes some great clear shots. -
crkian - do you post process them? Do you have photoshop?
Ben-
I do have photoshop

hey chris i saw a couple of pics, they are heavy to load so just a few but im not going to say anything of ur photograph skills but ill give u a couple of tips on image traffic
firstly get to the google webmaster tools and enable enhanced image search if u havent
Picture 042.jpg should be renamed to the-english-woods.jpg (best seo for images words-with-dashes)
title="Digital Image"
title="Image Description" this is the mouse hover
alt="Picture 042.jpg"
alt="Picture Keywords" for seo
one final thing is if you plan on getting google image traffic there is just one draw back, this will drop your adsense earnings say you get 1000 impressions more in the long run just via image traffic, read abt it, image traffic converts much less, so it pushes ur ctr down which will push your cpm down as well. So if you want the traffic theres a price to pay.
I think putting pics on a photoblog and seperating them could be beneficial. Image traffic is usually to rob images, yopu rarely get link backs but its traffic and some of them may hopefully come back if the like what you write.
Haha Cheers all the best with your new camera i love photography.

Clyde-
Thanks, only whacked them up for the kids to see. But I may make it a little thing I do weekly.
I will work on your tips

To be honest: "Not bad.."
At first glance, I thought you mixed the leaf and the mosquito by using photoshop
(You see, I said I would be honest - *Big Grins*)
- Wakish --
lol, I have the first one I took of it somewhere with it all out of focus. The bug just sat there so I could take the picture until the kids hit it with a stick.
-
-
lol
-
Nice photographs....but I only got up to number 5, am on a very slow system and each one is taking about 3 minutes to load :-( -
Good photographs.
File Size can be reduced by reducing image size and resolution - as you already know.
You can start a photo blog as mentioned and can build good traffic form search engines.I feel idea will work.
