Now that is utopia!

Can I upload a photo to pprune from my hard drive, or do I have to put it onto the internet, and then set a link?

Dublinpilot - you have to link to it. Like this:

this thread is a great idea - I could spend all day looking at flying photos. And probably will...

Blessington Lakes, located just south of Dublin city in Co. Wicklow, Ireland:

Lucan, Co. Dublin Ireland. This is where I live, and this is close to Weston airfield. That's Dublin city in the background:

Hmm, still can't manage to put a piccie in..........

Love to know how to:confused:

ToryBoy,

First you need to upload your photos to a website. Some websites allow you to link to them - others don't.

I use fototime which lets you store some pictures free for 30 days and link to them. I'm sure there are lots of other suitable sites.

Once you have done that, click the button marked "IMG" when creating a message, and paste in the url of your photograph. (Easiest way to do this is to right click on the photo on the website that is hosting it, select "properties" and copy the address.) If you use fototime, you can instead click the button marked "create link" and copy the address from the next screen.

It sounds a bit complicated, but it's easy once you've got the hang of it.

Even I can do it sometimes!

Ciao,

I can't produce many airborne shots as it's all too rare that I get in the sky, but I probably have one or two photos of your aircraft on my website, as I've been to plenty of fly-ins over the last couple of years:

Meanwhile, here's one I did take from the air :D

For an example of what to post have a look at the brilliant thread on rotorheads called Rotorheads around the world, it really is great.

For posting pictures here you can't go far wrong if you read AF's post and stick to that. You need to put your pictures on the web somewhere. Most internet service providers supply it free if you are a customer. BTinternet give me 50 mgs free space to do what I want with. To get the picture online you can either scan it in and save it or download it direct from your digital camera. Once you have the pictures on your heard drive, you can create a new folder on your desktop called anything, flying photos will do. Put all your pictures in there.

To upload the pictures you need an FTP programme. You can get them free on most pc magazines disks. Cute FTP or Smart FTP are both dead easy, good programmes to use. You simply locate your picture folder usuing the interface in the ftp proggramme and upload them. This is easy too, use the CTRL key on your keyboard as you select each picture, highlight how many you want to upload to your web-space and simply click on upload.

Once your pictures are online, right click the picture, click on properties and then highlight the address and copy it. Go to this thread and click on IMG. A box will appear and simply paste the address into it. Click ok and submit reply and your picture will appear in you post. It seems complicated but honestly, as someone has pointed out, it is so easy when you know how to do it.

I don't think pictures will link from MSN so you will have to out a link to your web page from there.

That's it really, have a go at it for yourself and see how easy it is.

If you are still phased by doing all that then as a last resort or if your ISP do not supply free space then e-mail them to me and I will upload them for you.
Look forward to seeing your pictures soon.

I was about to post some of mine, but having seen those already on the thread I'm too embarassed now! Great photos everyone (else), keep 'em coming. :ok:

Heli Crossing of LHR

AlanM,

One of your (:ok: nice) pics shows the throttle quadrant with the mixture levers in markedly different positions. Is this normal in twins? Just curious, never having flown in one.

dublinpilot - what's the ruling about flying over central Dublin? Isn't there a rather different wording in the IAA docs about flight over built-up areas? Where would you land if the engine quit? (being from Dublin originally I'm very interested)
