Thanks Tony and Norma and Stu. I am now thoroughly homesick for NZ :wah . One of my favourite places in the world is Piha :nice1 . Not just the beach but there are some fabulous bush walks around there too! Lots of happy memories!! Can't wait to move home (only another year or two to go!!)

Is that first pic taken at Opononi (spelling) - Up in 'Opo' the dolphin" country.

If so - we were there last year - fantastic.

If I knew how to put pics on this site I'd show you some of mine - any clues?

thanks for sharing! :nice1

jes :angel

[drumminj]

am I missing something? The links seem to be down.

If you want, I can host them on my photo site, which can handle the traffic.

[abbie & john]

Ton & Norma

Awesome photos - where abouts were they taken?

Thanks
Abbie

[Tony & Norma]

Hi Abbie & John,

hold your mouse over the small pictures and a pop up should tell you where and when they were taken.

Cheers

Tony

[Caven]

Tony and Norma,

That's a really nice touch, sharing your photos. Thanks very much. :nice1

Between yourselves, Carol (on another thread) and Stu, I think you've started something good here!

Cheers.

[Timbo]

Nice pics everyone. Thanks.
Hey Stu, you just HAD to get a fish of one sort or another in there aye.

[drumminj]

why can't I see them :( The pics on the top-level page don't load, and if I click on them to view the larger images, I get an error. Anyone have any ideas?

J
:wah

[drumminj]

That's soooo nice of you.

I got it to work. Safari wouldn't load it properly, but Mozilla would. Yip yip. Nice pics. Can't wait to go back early next year.....

To load pics here is easy...well, sorta. First you need pics on your comp, yeah? Then size them appropriately for internet use (about 1/10th rez)...programs like Windows "Picture It" have a setting in their "Save" list as "Save special" which you click on and gives you the option of "save as a web ready pic" or something. Makes the files small enough to load onto the net you see.

Then, when you have resized your pics, got to www.myfishingpictures.com, get your password etc (easy to do), and you will have your own album waiting for you. Upload your smaller pics onto this site (limit of around 200kb per pic I think) by clicking on the UPLOAD button. This then takes you to a pop-up that has in the middle of it "Browse" which takes you to your pictures file. Double click on the pic you want to upload. It also gives you options for labeling the pic as well as a space to describe more fully the pic. Hit "enter", and bobs your uncle.

Your pic is now saved on an online site.

Next, at the bottom of your pic on the Myfishingpics site there is a small code, like http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/018309.jpg . Copy that and come back to this site. Then you just type in paste in the pics html code http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/018309.jpg and close it with and your pic will come up like this...
http://www.myfishingpictures.com/img/018309.jpg

and that is how you load your pic up on this site.
Sound complicated really, but it ain't. As I load my pics onto the comp (And I load MANY!), the better ones I go thru and save as web ready pics, so the 1st part of the process is usually done before I need to access a certain pic to pop onto a site.
And yes Penguin, I did indeed pop in a fish pic... I mean, Mate, come on, 90% of my pics are of fish, the rest are of things boating pretty much. (OK a few pics of the beach house etc )
So anyhow, that is how you postpics here. Easy huh?
cheers, Stu.

Hey, J,

You erased Moorf, Woz and the snow from the last one!!! :eek

What the...???

:cool - Rae

[drumminj]

Funny, Rae. I hadn't seen that pic until after I posted mine. It IS the same area (akaroa). Very similar pics.

:cheers

J

[SteveR]

as soon as i saw that picture i thought it was the same as Moorf's :eek you sure you not been photoshopping :nice1

must be a popular place to take photo's

[jesselyn]

wow - i love this sunset, stu! :nice1

of course, the second pic of jason is one of my favorite screensaver pics :clap

jes :angel

[Timbo]

Keep em coming folks, this is fast becoming a great thread to remind us all what it is about, well partly anyway.
Stu, is that lovely outcrop of rock on the way out of Whitianga?

[kamus]

Great photos J and the others who posted. Thanks! :nice1

-Dave

[kamus]

one thing though, as nice as it is to see these photos directly on the page, it makes the loading process a slow one for the poor wretches that are forced to use dialup connections. Maybe a description and link would be a way to avoid this.

-Dave

[Stu]

Hi Timbo... no, those are the cliffs along the Western Bays, on Lake Taupo. I think just to the noth of the Waterfall falling nito the lake, you know?

The cliffs keep going straight down for another 200ft.

I'll have a look, find some whitianga pics for you if you like...
cheers pal, have ot go to the farm for a while now...,
Stu.

Fingers crossed :hopeso , this should be a shot of my Father in Laws cottage. (The hotel of choice), didn't work in preview so I included the linked URL, where there is also a snap of Nuhaka Chippie, the coolest little chippie in the world.

Great thread everybody! :clap

[xanctus]

[pleccy2000]

Some lovely pictures there...

[captainxmas]

Curses, foiled again by meddling corporations.

Okay, I will try the fishing site. (although my only enthusiasm for fishing extended to Gramp's Cheese and Brown sauce sarnies) :laugh

[jesselyn]

okay... thanks! :smile ;)

jes :angel

[Timbo]

Any idea where this is anyone (stu).

[Stu]

It is a place known as "The Spot". As in "Spot X", or "the X-spot".

...Timbo, mate.... I can't see any pic! Just a box with a red X in it! :-)

Cheers, Stu.

[Timbo]

Hmmmm!! I dont know what went wrong there, it came up when I posted it.
I have found my notes now anyway Stu, it was a pic of Shakespheres (spelling?) rock taken from the water going round to Cathedral cove way.
I will try again.

[Annierobrigado]

hi tony norma

whose house is that, the one with the climbing driveway and glass windows all around? yours?

annie

[Moorf]

hahah drummnj... looks like the Hill Top Cafe is a popular place to stop and take a photo en route to Akaroa!

:nice1

[art]

And why, may I ask, are the address signs bending?
Strong winds? Overweight birds? ;)

[BJ]

Might be they melted in the hot weather :laugh

[drumminj]

hahah drummnj... looks like the Hill Top Cafe is a popular place to stop and take a photo en route to Akaroa!

:nice1

Moorf, that's probably in the same area. We actually just stopped on the side of the road somewhere, though. I think we just liked the view and pulled over.

Regardless, it really is a beautiful area. Can't wait to head out that way again.

Hi Annie, not our house I'm afraid............... Would be nice though!

[captainxmas]

Okay, I couldn't do it the proper way, so I've linked to a couple of pictures on a SECRET page in my website.
