Nice shots, and what a cutie the young monkey is. I rather like the first one - both sets of orange eyes! - although I might be inclined to try and increase the contrast a little??

Hello all. I was nipping out to the shop this morning when I spotted this out of the corner of my eye on the bamboo in my front garden. I had no idea what it was although it looked like a berry or something...




of course on closer inspection it became clear what it was, although I had never seen this before:




Garden spider hatchlings!




Apparently the hatchlings stay together like this for a few days before heading off on their own.

Probably not the greatest pics artistically but I thought some here might be interested to see. Don't look too long or you'll start to itch (they have that effect on me:shock

Regards

There's some top stuff there. I nipped out into my garden yesterday after the rain but mostly it was full of slugs and snails... I like 70's afro - curious creature, with fantastic 'hair' (antennae??). Would presumably fit nicely into 'Bootsy Collins' funkadelic band...

Looks like the same today... raining now, but hopefully some bugs later

Regards

I rather like this. There's something a little eerie about it which I can't quite put my finger on. It makes me think of the alien movies. Nice shot.

Regards

I agree - nice shot. Second version especially.

Oops -looks like snappychappy just beat me to it

Hello. I am sure there will be folk here on the forum who will be able to help. To get an indication of values your best bet is probably to post a list of the items you have in the first instance; If you are looking sell, there is a section here for classified ads through which forum members may buy stuff, or else there are of course the usual channels such as ebay etc.

Hope that helps

I think you're nearly there. You're correct that when you float the cursor over the down arrow it says 'more ways to share'... when you click on it it brings up a dialogue box in which one of the bold headings is 'grab the html/BBCode'.

Under that heading is a text box with a load of text in it which seems to include a couple of web addresses amongst a whole load of other text and symbology...

Buried within that little lot (and it may be in blue on the flickr page) is the address you will need for the pic, taking one of my pics on flickr as an example:

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5141/5669973731_c35de92a08_z.jpg

(i.e. the link address which ends in '.jpg')

If i just take that and paste it between the square bracketted text which appears when I hit the image button below the text box here on the forum then the pic should appear when the post is finally submitted.

therefore in the text box here I would get a line which looks like:

[ig]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5141/5669973731_c35de92a08_z.jpg[ig]

(except that the text in the square brackets would say 'img' instead of 'ig' and the one at the end would also have a backslash in it. i have just left it out because otherwise all you will see here is the picture...)

When I do then preview the comment to check the pic is there (using the preview button below the text box here on the forum), the picture will appear:

so now doing it for real... voila:




Not sure if this is the most efficient way of doing it but it works for me. Flickr have changed their pages in this respect recently and it's a lot less straightforward to do this now than it used to be...

Hope that helps

Thanks all for the kind comments, and especially glad to have stirred some memories for you Roger

I'll have a go... In flickr, when you are on the flickr page for the photo you want to add into the post, there are a couple of boxes just above the top left of the picture. One says 'actions' and has a drop down menu when you click on the down arrow within it, the other has icons for email, facebook, twitter (or something like that) and also has a down arrow. Click on that down arrow in that second box and you can now select the photo url. There is a load of text in the selectable box and I find I generally am forced to select it all. The ONLY bit of the text you need, however, is the html address, which is a part of the text string in inverted commas, and the one which ends in '.jpg'.

Once you have that address you then need to paste it into the post here on the forum. At the place where you wish the pic to appear, click the 'image' button below the text box and some text which looks a bit like this will appear:

[img][img]

(although the second square brackets will also have a backslash in it I think).

Paste the address you got from flickr between the two sets of square bracketted text and voila! now when you hit 'preview comment' or 'preview topic' your selected flickr picture should appear.

Last thing to note is that in flickr you can pick up a url for a number of different sizes of picture. I normally go for the one called 'medium 640' as it fits quite well into the forum here. If you pick a large size I think the forum resizes it downwards in any case.

Hope that helps...
