Welcome, Clare.
It's a wonderful forum - I've learnt heaps since I joined. I must admit I was very nervous at first, but everyone has been so kind and helpful and I feel much more at ease !
And there are some magnificent photos !
Try putting some of your photos in the Your Photos section (bottom group on the main page). You'll find you'll get more detailed appraisals of your photos and it's the best place to pick up tips
The other advantage is that you can put them in a larger format which will show them off better !

Hi Sally, thank you. I've had a look as you suggested above but it seems that I need to link them to somewhere else on the web?
I have gone through quite a few portfolios and am amazed and slightly nervous - will I 'ever' be that good!

The easiest way is to upload photos onto a free photo handling site like Photobucket or Flickr. I don't know about Photobucket, but Flickr limits the uploads but for a small amount and you can then upload as many photos as you want. Various settings allow you to limit who sees them.
It's an excellent way of storing and saving photos. Tranferring them to here or elsewhere is a doddle
Well worth doing and (hopefully) no risk of losing them ....
Don't be nervous - remember even the really good photographers had to start somewhere !

Well done, Clare. They allow you to upload 100 photos. After that, you need to open a Pro account (not as grand as it sounds
