The Picture Thread

[vapviking]

So after 1 post i gotta wait 6 hours to post a pic again? Bugger hey, cheers for the heads up. What if no ones posted after me in the 6 hours, is a back to back tolerated then?

So this is no back to back posts anywhere yeah?

Not that onerous!
You can edit your post for up to six hours. If Edit feature disappears, feel free to post right after your previous.
Also, even if you are still wthin the 6 hrs, if somone posts after yours, you may Either edit yours Or just make a new one, whichever you prefer to present.
Crap, now I have to find some old photo...
Found one, took so long your question's been answered already!

Okay, this poster was on the wall in the New Munson Diner in Liberty, NY. (Not far from Behel, the site of Woodstock)
Great diner, Catskills area, Trout Fishing Capital of the World. The diner was relocated to Liberty many years ago from its original location on 11th Ave, Manhattan.

There's some talent artists out there, whats the story to the 2nd last mural?

It's a part of a Pablo Neruda poem, here written in Italian.
"Oda al gato"

This part translated in English :

A man wants to be a fish and a bird,
the serpent would like to have wings,
the dog is a disoriented lion,
the engineer wants to be a poet,
the fly studies to be a swallow,
the poet tries to imitate the fly,
but the cat
only wants to be a cat

This Sardinia, right? Beautiful murals.

It is. Beautiful murals like only socialists, communists and mostly anarchists know how to paint. There's very few apolitical paintings here.

Google Lens says he's an axolotls salamander, surprised there's never been a cartoon made of him.

I like visiting lighthouses when I travel...My hometown lighthouse, Table Cape, Wynyard, Tasmania,

Doh, i don't have any light house pics to share fellas, never seen one.

Kind of looks like a light house,

I have a ton of photos to share but I'm not sure how to do it properly. I'll learn

You'll need image host, like https://imgbb.com/upload .
--Load that page, drag an drop an image from your computer onto that page;
--edit size if necessary;
--click 'upload';
--click on the thumbnail when upload completes, pic will appear in a new tab;
--right-click on the image and select its address, copy the address;
--come back to the FC page you are posting in and select the 'insert image' icon, above;
--paste image address into the 'insert image' field;
--click "insert"

--hit 'post reply.'


Page will reload and your image will be viewable.

I vaguely remember a feature in Lightroom that may allow me to downsize the file. I'll cheek it out.

Lightroom can also change the file type to .jpg, according to A1:

Lightroom can also change the file type to .jpg

One can easily edit the size of any picture you post here regardless of format.
Once the image appears, you'll see a tiny green square on each corner of the image.
drag toward the center to size the image that you wish to present:

For example:

One can easily edit the size of any picture you post here regardless of format.

Sadly that doesn't adjust the file size, just the size as it's displayed on the page so won't do anything to help people with slower connections. There are many resizing tools available though, a lot are completely free.

Also @Bazinga it's easy to just go and find a picture to post so that you're okay by the thread rules... Think of it like going to a place with a dress code...

As a long time Windows user, I have always had MS PowerToys installed. One of the apps included is a Image Resizer in the right click menu.

I'm still trying to post pictures but it never works, many years ago I believe I could on another phone I had. For me it was so easy like when Vaper Lounge was around. I'm not going to give up though!

 

[cybrguy]

If you go into the sandbox thread, you'll find a lot of discussion about how to post. I will admit, because I mostly post from a computer rather than a phone, it is much easier for me.

If you take the asterisks out, this is what I dropped in this post to get this image.

Same here. I work with desktop Mac.
I do not even own a smartphone.

Try postimg.com works easier on my phone.

Copy hot link for forums
Paste on fc

 

[Pistol Pete]

All I have is a smartphone, not a computer. I know nothing about hot links but they sound good. When I lived in Washington state there was a brand Oberto hot links. Great smoked sausages. Paste though, I was smart enough not to eat it in school.

I settled on https://postimages.org/ as the easiest way for me using a PC, would not even try with my phone (too small to work with) as I am an older stubborn geezer.

Remember, don't overload your grinder.
