Bonus Photo Competition....Hardy Rod

[FlyForumAdmin]

Well I guess many of our members are stuck at home today and to help liven things up we have a special photo competition for you with a magnificent prize.

The theme is snow so that should make it easy for you to stick the camera out of the window, take a snap and then post in the Gallery as per these instructions. It is very easy as long as the photo is the right resolution! The photo does not have to be fishing related. An amusing caption would help but is not essential!

The prize is donated by our good friends and site sponsors at Hardy and is a brand new Hardy Lightweight 9ft for a 5 weight line complete with rod bag, tube and canvas cover plus warranty etc.

The winner will be chosen by you the Members by voting unless there are less than 100 votes in total when we will choose at Admin.


Guidelines to upload images to Gallery
The fly fishing forums gallery allows you to store up to 10Mb of photographs.

* Once in the Gallery you can use the link provided (upload photos) to upload images from your computer to the selected gallery.

* The allowable image types are: jpg, jpeg, png or gif

* Uploaded photographs will be automatically reduced to 990 pixels wide if they are larger than this, otherwise they will remain the original size.

* Typically a photograph designed for web viewing is normally 50Kb in size or less. The fly forums gallery allows you to upload file sizes up to 100kb which means you may need to web-optimize your photographs before you upload.

To optimize use Adobe Photoshop or other photo editing software, or an online service like: Online Image Optimizer: Optimize your GIFS, JPGS, and PNGS online. or Web Resizer - Making Photos Faster - Optimize pictures for websites and email for bigger photographs.

We find an image quality of ‘40’ as the best compromise between quality and loading speed.
* To delete a photograph then Click Photo Options and choose the Edit Photo. Delete is one of the options in there.

Once an image is loaded to the gallery you can use the direct link under the photograph to copy the image to a post within the forums.
