Photo's

[MDFraley]

I tried over the weekend sending a couple photo's per DougD instructions to the Castironcollector.com site and they came back as too large. I had my camera set for small image size and apparently that setting for a Nikon D90 is far greater (2144X1444) than what is allowed. I googled a couple host imagining sites and the first thing that happened I was redirected to download software to use the site and wasn't able to exit the site short of doing a control alt delete function.
I really wanted to share my Cahill Chicken Fryer and a unidentified fry pan with gate mark which appears to me to be pre Griswold/Erie pan. Guess my question is do I need to purchase a less expensive camera or is there some trickery of re-sizing my current photo's to show everyone?
By the way....This is the BEST site on the web to find out anything regarding cast iron identification.

I always post my pictures to imgur.com and then link to them. It generates snippets that you can copy/paste into different places. For example, there's one titled "BBCode (message boards & forums)". You can paste that one right into your message here and it will show up.

There are additional instructions in the member photo album post for the simplest method (for Windows users) of resizing photos before sending.

It's certainly baffled me how to post a pic here

I upload my photos to my picasa account using my phone. In Firefox for Android, or Firefox on my computer, I copy the image link on Google+ by pressing or right clicking the photo and pasting the link into the pop up image link field on the forum.

I'm supprised it works since the images are in a private gallery on picasa and g+. Anyway, that's how I do it.

On the phone you also need to delete part of the URL. Otherwise it will be a resized phone optimized image.

it looks like this w480-h480/

Imgur.com, Flickr.com, and other sites will let you link directly to the image.



Flicker.com lets you pick the size all the way up to full sized.

Small

Larger

And on up. Although I'd try to keep the file on the smaller side as some people browse the site on their phones/tablets.
