it's simple : just click on the "manage attachement" button below the posting window. A new window will appear, just clic on the button and browse your computer to find your picture.

You can upload 5 at once. But you can upload more, just click again on the buttons. ;)

just one thing, try to reduce your pic to 800pxs width max (using your computer graphic accessory, like paint or gimp), don't let it raw from your camera, to keep it more confortable to watch (and save MFCA bandwith :D ) ;)

Brandon welcome...
 

Sent you a PM. The ordering process was not completed. Get back to me, and we can get you going. Welcome, again.

picture advise
 

Hi,

If you camera has a "macro" mode, try to use it. It's often represented by a flower icon (tulip) on cameras.

Concerning light, try to make pics with daylight, not directly on the figure (direct sun on the figure will saturate the colors on the pic). In the same idea, night pics/not enough light will create noise (the points we can see on the picture).

If you have not a macro camera, try to make the picture from a bigger distance, keeping the camera not moving at all, with good light, and then, with the photo software you have, reduce it to improve the details.


Here's an example with your own picture, reduced to a 400px width. It's not perfect, mostly due to the light and lack of macro mode, but the figure is more "read-able".

Hope it will help you ! thmbsp$


ps :
These days a decent 8M pixels camera with macro mode costs about 70USD, more or less depanding of the shop (search for sales and stuff like that). Even if I know 70USd can be used for other things more important than a camera, for an hobbyist (especially when you're into internet community boards) is a good investement.

GOOD LOOKING OUT
