Upload your Photos to the Gallery

[sangiro 4]

Heya all,

I've implemented a feature again that enables you to upload your favourite skydiving photos through your browser to the Dropzone.com Galleries and share them with your friends. Here are some tips for uploading your photos:

Rename your photo to have a unique name. Use something like: your_name_description.jpg. If you upload it with the generic name your camera gave it, you risk overwriting someone else's image or vice versa. (eg. sangiro_freefly_sunset_exit.jpg)

Upload high quality images. The Dropzone.com gallery scripts will automatically resize and compress your photo and create a thumbnail for you.

Type a short caption. Your caption will be displayed under your image when viewed at full size. Tell us something about the photo. (eg. A sunset freeflying exit during the Byron Boogie with Chris, John and the guys from the LooseFingers team)

Add search keywords. Keyword tags will enable you to search for your images in the future. If you tag all images with your name at least, then a search for your name will bring up all your photos regardless of which category you uploaded them to. Use spaces to separate your keywords (eg. sangiro freeflying exit sunset Byron LooseFingers)

Click the "Post my Picture!" button ONCE only! It will take a while to upload your photo (depending on the size of the original image). Be patient, a message will alert you when the upload has been completed and will show you a preview of your image and thumbnail.

Send a Postcard. Remember you can send your own images as electronic postcards. View your photo in full size and click on the "Send as a Postcard" link at the bottom of the page.

Have fun!
