Posting Unidentified Species photos

Bonehead · #1 (**permalink**) 13-10-2007, 09:32 PM

First can I introduce myself, my name is Nathan and I live on the east coast of Lincolnshire.
I have just started out in photography and love taking photos of all types of wildlife, however, I am not very good at recognising the species I have taken a photo of, and what better place to learn than WAB.
Can someone explain the procedure for posting photos to the unidentified photo section? Once it has been posted, if someone replies stating the species do you then re-post it in the correct section with its proper name etc?
Sorry for asking a possibly obvious question but am fairly new to forums as well.

Hi Bonehead, welcome to WAB.
Here is a link that will help you add an image of what you want to ID into your forum post.

Add images to your forum posts.

Once it is correctly ID'd you can ask a moderator to move it to the gallery for you, by clicking on the red triangle at the top of you post.

Good luck.

Welcome to WAB, Nathan. I look forward to seeing your photos, I'm sure you'll get plenty of help with identifying things.

Hello Nathan

Welcome to WAB.

This is a great site for submitting photos for ID .... there is always someone who knows what "it" is

Hello, Nathan and welcome

I've found people here to be great at helping with ID - so I'm sure you'll soon be putting names to the subjects of some of your photos.

It's not an obvious question. I am also new and did not know this either. Welcome to the site.
