Should have gone to......

No sure where to put this. However, am I the only one who is having trouble helping id plants from the tiny photographs which seem to be being used these days?
Surely with modern camera technology people can get a decent size image?
Even if Photobucket no longer is of any use, there are other sites which allow third party linking which link to a decent sized image.

 

I know that and you know that, but if the original photo is small it would make no difference where the image is shown from.

 

I don't know, but when the image is so small I cannot help with the query. My eyesight is not as good as Silver Surfer's seems to be and I just cannot see the details of the plants to be able to answer the question, as much as I would like to.

 

I just dont think people realise that we need a good overall photo, plus one or two, up close shots of fruit flowers and leaves, you can never have too much info for ID ing a plant.

I often think it's down to a quick snap with a phone rather than a proper camera.

 

I think the problem here is the fact that when people upload the photos on the forum they don't press the button that says Full Image and they just press the button that says Thumbnail and that is why the photos come out so small

Not sure though what happens if they upload from a phone etc as I download mine from my camera onto my iPad or else I take the photo with my iPad and then just upload onto whatever thread I want the photo to appear

 

Good to see you all keeping the peas and harmony of the board

 

Oh come on now FC, even I knew that

I sometimes just use thumbnails instead of full images as it is then up to the viewer if they want to see all the pics big.
Nothing worse than going through loads of irrelevant pictures if that is not your interest.

 

If I click on the thumbnail it takes me to the Album from whence it came, but there is does not change size.
