Message to fellow trip participants....
Thank you for visiting this page. If you came to it from one of my photo album pages, just close this page when you've read it... The page you
came from should be "underneath" it.
Photos
I hope that you will either post an album yourself or
that you might be willing to share a few of your best photos with me,
with permission to add them to this album. By all means send them at
less-than-best quality, if you want to preserve their commercial value. By all means incorporate some JPEG compression, if you know how. About 40-300k per image seems reasonable to me.
There were a few photos that I requested copies of... if you
are willing to let me have any of those, but only for my personal
enjoyment, NOT for posting in this album, that is fine too. Please EXPLICTLY say something MAY be posted, or I will assume it
may not be.
If you post your own album, please let me have the URL to your
pages, so I can put a link to them from my page? If you haven't made
an album before, and would like to give it a try, there are many options.
(Slightly dated:) Have a look at my friend's work,
which he produced by the free, apparently user friendly, "Tripod"
service from Lycos (a well known, established service). N.B.: In the
fine print you grant them permission to use anything you post, for
anything, but the license does not appear to be exclusive. You may not
care. Click here for
information on signing up, using Tripod.
(More current, 10/2010:) I also like the online sharing service at Flickr ("YouTube" for still photos), or you could try the options which come with the photo album and editing software called Picasa, which comes from the nice people at Google.
If sending things via email is not convenient, send a print to
me in England? I will return it... most quickly if you
send an addressed envelope or sticky label!
With anything which I may post, please tell me how you want
the copyright line to read, e.g. © Fred Bloggs, or © Trip Participant,
if you don't want your name to appear. I'll add a date to all of them,
as I believe it is part of making the copyright claim valid... not that
anything on the web isn't open to immediate theft anyway....Which is one of the reasons I would ask you to send any
images as JPEGs, with a bit of compression, so that the from-the-web
copies of your photos aren't top quality. It is also a boon to web
users with slow connections, or heavy charges for large downloads. But don't let the technical stuff get in
the way!! If "add some compression" is more that you want to face,
please feel free to sent the photos any way that suits you. I will
reduce big files, unless you say I really, really shouldn't, because
not everyone has a broadband connection, and because I get charged for
the downloads from my server. Anyone under
21 sending anything for inclusion, please get a parent's permission.
Here is how you can contact this page's author, Tom Boyd, but if you have an eddress for me from another source, that one is probably the one to use.
