Not one from our meet last weekend, but taken at Sevenoaks Wildlife Reserve at the beginning of June.

Imagine my joy when I discovered the little spider during processing.

This is my first posting, so I hope you enjoy.

Canon 40D 180mm macro

1/1000 f3.5 ISO 400.

Regards to all,

Fran

Hi Fran....

Nice one, the spider is certainly a nice bonus. Perhaps a touch more USM and a tad more DoF...

Before Tom tells you off :biggrin: Images should be 720 pix on the longest side.

Sorry folks, I can see it on my monitor. I looked on my computer at work, and can't see it from there either. I will repost a smaller one in due course :redface: I'll get my coat !

Thanks everyone and David for the welcome. I am confused as well lol. Have tried uploading a smaller image and it still doesn't work. Will keep trying, and hope to get there in the end !!

Hi,

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately no image showing for me either, a situation that's plagued many of us with our first attempt at posting.

Thanks Justin, glad I'm not the only one!!

Does anyone have any suggestions please? I have tried using URL's from a couple of sites, all to no avail.

Fran,
When I had the same issue I e-mailed one of our moderators and had the issue sorted in a jiffy (thanks Nick). They can be contacted via the links at the top of the page.

I'm afraid I'm not really up on all this modern computer technology but two options I can think of which worked for me, was using the free web space that's provided by my internet service provider which allowed me to upload an image, right click on it to view the properties, copy the image's address and post that between the relevent IMG tags which allowed it to show ok.
The second option I did was to take out membership to NPN which then allows you to upload images just by selecting the image from your hard drive.

Thanks Justin, I will do just that. Much appreciated.

LOL you're lucky Ian, I can't now. Glad you like the image.

Will have it sorted soon.
