Test Photo Upload Thread

True that!

Nice picture! Please let us know what you find about the bottom preview.

Yes, just uploading from my computer seems to work fine and is easy to do. I use Flickr primarily for posting pics on the only other "social media" I use - a private BB for upland bird hunters. I have all of my finished photos on my hard drives in reduced res posting size (usually a bit less than 2MB). Plus, I keep the pure OOC file and the large PS files for all of my "keeper" images on my hard drives.

Yep, I get that. If this place is as enjoyable and the people here are as interesting, helpful and friendly as the two DPR forums I used, putting up with some less-than-ideal technical issues is not a problem.

I'm hoping that people here won't be "offended" by pics of hunting and an occasional tasteful pic of dead game birds. If they are, I should probably leave now. Bliss pointing a sharptail grouse in Montana:

Morris - this now seems to work. If I click on the preview (which is plenty big enough for me to decided it I really want to see it or not - just like DPR), I get a nice big version of your image.

Yes, this works, BUT, the problem with uploading from Flickr is that it now gives the viewer of the image access to your entire Flickr "photostream". Maybe yours is different, but my Flickr automatically uploads every pic I save, some of which are duplicates, less than perfect versions, just snapshots, etc. There are no secrets, but those pics usually don't represent my best work and those are all designated as "private" on Flickr, so that you won't see them if you look at my Flickr site. You'll only see the "public" stuff. By uploading from Flickr here, by some technical quirk, you are exposing ALL of your Flickr images, "private" and "public" to the viewer.

This is my first post, and a test for posting an image. This is one of my Abyssinian cats, Enki. Fujifilm X-T5 with Fujinon XF16-80mmF4 R OIS WR and Godox TT685IIF. Raw with a slight correction in C1 23.

And a good first post! Thanks for documenting the equipment used. Hopefully at some point the site will display the Exif.

Hi, John,

Fine image. I assume you want it to display in the original post. To do that you must do one extra step after uploading. Once the image is uploaded wait 2 seconds for the following box to appear. Then all all you need do is click on the rectangle to embed the code in the post. Then when you click reply, the image will appear and not just a link.

It will give you access to your entire Flickr photostream if you are logged in but it should not give anyone else access to your private photos. I see 5,050 photos on your stream. Do you have more than that? I randomly clicked on a dozen or so photos throughout your Flickr account and only saw photos designated as "public".

Looks like a real good test, Morris! Clicking on the image itself gives the initial resolution.

Here's a test to see just how bad this looks at such a compressed size. I'm really hoping they can do something about that, the 4MB limit is a pretty significant downgrade to the full IQ capability that the DPReview forums had.

Seems a bit mushy. Another try with some output sharpening...

More output sharpening...

Maybe Bob's wallet is a just tad thinner than Amazon's? Transfer costs money and there is no financing in place yet.

Yeah, no doubt, but I do hope something can be done about the situation in the future, this is a photography forum after all. So far pretty good though, kudos to all involved.

Thank you! I have almost 14,000 images on Flickr, of which about 5,000 are "public". Maybe Flickr allows ME to see all of the non-public photos because it recognizes me somehow (I am pretty much always logged in); but it doesn't allow anyone else to do that? If so, all is good.

Again, it's not like there is anything terrible or embarrassing in the non-public images, but they are not representative of the quality of work I like to show; there are lots of family snaphots uninteresting to anyone other than me, duplicative shots, etc.

I'm going to try and experiment by posting this image from Flickr, logging out and then seeing if I can see all 14K images.

It worked!!! When logged out of Flickr, I can only see my "public images on Flickr.

Thanks again!

Hey, Erik,

Your 2nd and 3rd images above are well-detailed with good sharpness "when enlarged" to the resolution you uploaded. I'm using my slightly older MacBook Pro but will try it one a larger monitor.
I do not know how to rid the image links at the bottom of the post.
