It work this time for a change. This was taken of me at the age of 66 much fatter and less fitter than I am now. The pic was taken South Tenerife. How about placing placing your own pic so we can all get to know each other better,

You look a bit like my Irish cousin !

Anyway, here are some from me. I have a hunnerd of them !

This is my favourite online photo:


This is me in full highland dress:


Here's my car:


I have kept them as thumbnails as I think the memory allocation for photos here is quite small.

Nice pics you could try and post them at a larger size, some do some don't as you can
 see from my pics. It just depends on how sharp or dots were use when the picture was taken. Pleased you have joined in to make this site more interesting and enjoyable.

Thanks Hugh !

I will try to re-post the Highland dress one as it has disappeared in thumbnail form. ( For some unkown reason my photo-sharing site "Photobox" does that sometimes ).

Here it is:

Here is another one of where I live.

The Wallace monument and Abbey-Craig is in the middle-ground and I stay right in the hillfoots beyond.

I explored every one of those hills when I was young !

They are ten miles long and five miles deep !

Close as one can get to paradise !

I have had a couple of holidays in Scotland in the past and I have to agree it really is a beautiful country. I have asked Chris if it was possible he increase the size of picture allowance he as not got back to me yet. It may help if you asked him being a senior and a long standing member to the forum.  After all I could just be a ten minute wonder here today gone tomorrow. I am pleased you have posted a larger pic of your self, to me it makes the forum a little more personal and I hope it will encourage others to follow suit. Cheers Hugh :) :)

Being a forum website owner myself I know that pictures use up a lot of bandwidth.  I guess it is up to the forum hosts as to what pixel-size photos will be allowed.

Many pictures that are pre-formatted in your picture-viewing client on your own computer will show them automatically as a fixed percentage of full size but if the size has not actually been cut down for internet use they can finish up being massive files.

E-Mail clients are the worst offenders here as they almost always show the picture at full size, ( the size and extention used when sending them ), and then often a full expand of the picture is not enough to see it without scrolling the page upwards and sideways.

I usually resize them to be around 600x400 pixels and ensure that they are in a lossy format like .jpg. This is usually acceptable by most forum hosts.

Thanks Hugh !

What I found a bit special about that photo was the fact that I caught the sun's rays without a bloom showing on the lens.

That is a very difficult thing to do when the sun is in your viewfinder.

To tell you the truth I am not sure how I did it or how to reproduce the effect.
