Re: Inserting Photos into Posts

If you’re taking pictures on your phone take them landscape and they won’t be sideways when you post them. There seem to be a glitch in the forum software that renders landscape photographs in portrait orientation anyway, when the happens usually editing them (even on the same phone) fixes the issu...

Re: May 2023 - Taken with a phone (or tablet)

Just realised I didn't really include the subject in my original post and can't edit it now. The subject is any cactus or succulent, single plants or groups including mixed plantings. Photograph can be taken in past and editing is allowed. The sole criteria is that the original image(s) were taken u...

Re: May 2023 - Taken with a phone (or tablet)

Ok But what about post processing? Any machine? And for those of us who have more than basic skills, can the image be stacked? Or combined in multi-layered processing? Just asking for clarification. Post processing is acceptable and even encouraged, I'm not going to put any limits on what can be do...

The only requirement for this month is that the picture should have been taken usi...

May 2023 - Taken with a phone (or tablet)

A bit of a technical challenge for this month, the cameras built into phones and tablets have to have short focal length lenses to fit in the thin bodies, this results in a greater depth of field i.e. more of the subject in focus, than the larger lenses on conventional cameras. For my entries in las...
