I would like a possibility to post series of photos. It should make it easier to tell a story in pictures, and many times average images is much more in a serie.
I also think your limit 250 kb is a tad small.
Plus one hereQuote:

Could be a tighter limit on multi posts to start.Eg say once a month.

I'd like to see the counting of views for a thread changed to show only the number of different people who have viewed it. And don't count the person who started the thread. Of course, I'm assuming that each and every visit is now counted. That's based on the fact that I'm counted when I post an image. I know that many of us revisit an image a number of times to see what comments are left by others. It doesn't seem like that should increase the view tally.

For now 250kb per image is max. We started at 150, then went to 200 and last month 250. We will see what the future holds:w3.
I will work on a multiple image post. How would you use such a feature?
Dennis,
I agree, that's why we have the no "bumping" guideline. I don't know if our software will allow us to do that.
We'll take a look an see.
Hi James
Just off the top of my head sequences of birds taking off & landing could lead to improvement of members images thro' constructive comments. (e.g.panning technique to maximise the number of quality images)

May be something like THISQuote:

There's a thread in the workflow forum going on right now that if it works out that way I hope I would like to see more of.
Basically, a person has posted a raw file and wants to see how others would do their post processing. I hope that several people will post a processed image along with the steps the followed to do it. I think it will be highly educational.
the thread link is
http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...670#post748670
I just processed Simon's raw file from that link, which I will post later, and I must say that this is highly educational and that would be an awesome feature to have! It could be a dedicated subforum in the workflow forum where one raw file per week is made available for processing as a learning tool (just tossing ideas out there...). I'm sure many would love to participate in such an exercise.Quote:

Our crack staff now has their collective thinking caps on efforting a way to do it.
I agree, the RAW file processing exercise is a great idea!
Also, agree with Harshad. Photographers telling their stories of adventure, triumph, disaster, humor etc with one or more pictures.

Posting series of photos is for me not really what photography is about. One photo making a strong clear statement. Most series are just lot of boring photos that hopefully add up to something. That is why God gave us film/video. But maybe series photos ok if in -seperate- forum. FWIW, that some other sites allow series photos is the exact reason I do not visit there.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, kind of revamp the Frame Image with Words Forum, maybe revamp it some, so people don't think it's only for poems. Perhaps a whole new forum. Photographers that want to share their stories of adventure with an image, perhaps multiple images ( but maybe keep a limit on the number), and get feedback on both image and writing. I enjoy reading brief anecdotes in the other image critique forums, but having a separate forum for those wanting to share a more in-depth story would be helpful. Can't hurt to give it a try, and if some entertaining stories are posted it might start to catch on.Quote:

What I'd also like to see is more development of the Avian: ID Reference Gallery. With the membership available on this forum I would think this could be a major resource for everyone, if it was more populated.
