Hi Jean, welcome to Talk Photography (TP) it's a good photo of what looks like a location with a lot of potential, it would be nice to see a larger version.
Thank you so much for your tips, Sirch, it's much appreciated.I'm sure you'll get the the hang of it. It depends a bit on how you post and what software you have for resizing your images. What a lot of people do is post the image to Flickr and then insert a link from Flickr to here. Alternatively if you have some software to resize images that lets you change the JPEG "quality" then you can normally get a 800x600 pixel image uploaded. The Fastone image viewer is free and has a resize option. Once you have a certain number of posts on here (about 10 I think) then you can upload directly into the thread that you post rather than using the gallery.
Thanks Sirch. ..... I've just successfully posted a photo using a link from Flickr. Seemed to work OK. ...Also been sorting out my profile details and changed my signature to include links to 500px and Flickr. .....Now have to sort out a suitable profile photo.No problem. the site has a max of 1024 on the long edge and tends to make a hash of photos larger than that, so I either export from LR as 1024 (or sometimes 800) on the long edge with reduced JPEG quality, say 75% to get down to the file size limit on this site. Or I upload to Flickr and link from there, flickr lets you set the size of the linked image to 1024. on the long edge
am I right in thinking that to post a photo in the forum requires starting a new thread
Not always, there are a number of "open" threads where anyone can post pictures but these usually have a theme e.g. reflections, sunsets here's an example
https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/t...ay-an-open-thread.693160/page-19#post-8720651
Something else that might be helpful to know, it is a generally accepted convention that anything posted in the "Photos" sections is put up because people are looking for critque, except for "Photos: For Pleasure" where you typically won't get crit or much comment at all.
There are a number of equipment specific threads in "Talk Equipment" and people often post photos taken with the relevant gear in those threads too. Best bet is probably to keep an eye on What's New for a week or so and see what crops up, it's a pretty active forum. But please don't let anyone of that stop you posting your own threads and you will get comments, it might just take a day or two.
Lovely sharp pic, just my preference, but would love to see this in some sort of panorama shot.
