My first picture post!
I took it on my trip to india last year. It's not really nature in an unexpected place, but i really love the shot, and i thought it'd be nice to post. Also is there a way to post pictures without shrinking them down and downgrading the pictures, this used to be 2mb, now its down to 236kb for uploading, so it's lost some of its clarity.
What an interesting shot! Even though it wasn't shot within the time period specified for this assignment, it's neat to see anyway.
The way most of us share photos on here is to "hotlink" them from a website, either your own or one such as PBase, Smugmug, Photobucket, Image Shack or Flickr..... you simply upload the image to that site, then in here when you're in the reply section, you click on the small picture with the thing that looks like a mountain, which is at the top of the reply area along with other tools such as fonts, italics, page justification, etc.... Clicking on that brings up a small area asking for a URL and you simply type in the URL of your image. That will then insert your image into the body of your message. I usually check the "preview post" feature to make sure that the image I've linked to is the right one, the right size and so on before then submitting the post.
Hope that helps!
