I "THINK" I've signed up to the Pentax Photo Gallery but I can't seem to find how to try and send some photos to it to have a go for the first time. Can anyone give me some advice please. Peter B. as our esteemed leader maybe you can help.
CHEERS Vic.
P.S. Peter how's the ticker these days? Are you fit and well? Vic.

24Hrs.+ and still no help. I thought someone out there might know how to do it as some of you have already done it yourselves.
All those brains, all that experiance.

Hi Vic,



OK, if you have got to the Pentax Gallery Artists Logon Page here

link

and entered your email address and password, then you will get to the Artist Dashboard. Near the top you will see 4 icons, the 2nd of which is Upload. Click on that and you'll get another page. Scroll down and you'll see Upload A File. Click on that and it will ask you to select the photo you want to upload. Make sure it's 900 px high. While it's doing it's thing you can enter the title etc on the right hand side. After a short while it will fill in some of the EXIF data and you can manually update that if you want to. Once you are happy with the data just click on Upload Your Photo at the bottom.

See how that goes.

Cheers,

ds

D.S. Thanks for that. I'll give it a try soon and let you know if it works for me.

Dave. First you have to know I'm 74yrs. old (your reactions slow down a bit) so I daren't trust myself on a big bike which of course I'd like.

I have a 1988 CD 250 U Honda with only 18500 miles on the clock which is in really good nick. I'm only the second owner as it belonged to my daughter-in-laws dad who had it from new.

Sadly he had to pack up riding at the age of 82yrs. and died 2 yrs ago at the age of 85.

Back in the day I used to ride Tigers and Thunderbirds.

Hi vic, i was a born again biker myself, came back again ten years ago after having bikes through the 70s and 80s, i had a seventeen year lay off, the day i picked up my bandit, it felt that i had never missed a day. I remember the Hondas i was aways impressed with the 750 four that seems quite a small bike now. Allso the honda dream was popular at that time in 88, well vic i could talk all day about old bikes, just one thing vic your as old as you feel mate, take care

Regards Dave

Must admit I don't quite get the point of the Pentax Gallery..if it's intended to be a showcase for the best Pentax photography then it's not really achieving it as some quite average photos are on there?

The Pentax Annual was much better, but hard copy stuff seems rarer and rarer these days. Costs no doubt.

If Pentax Photo Gallery wants to be the best it needs someone to select the best submitted images and only accept the best.
Best regards, John

First the gallery! I'm going to have a go soon (watch this space) as when I looked at it I thought as Simon did that some of the entries are quite average. (Says he who hasn't tried yet).

Dave. My main biking days were in the 50's & 60's. In my head I'm between 23--26 but my body every now and then says "SOD OFF NO YOU'RE NOT"

I've avoided submitting to PPG as I figured my images wouldn't come up to par...

No one seems to know how the images for the Gallery are selected but I would think it would be a mammoth task to sort through the uploads unless 99.9% were being discarded. I've often wondered if selection is more automated, eg., 10 thumbs up and you're in, 3 thumbs down and you're out
