Gallery

Only the gallery editors are able to edit or rename images in the gallery and the image library. To let them know which image you would like to have edited, please click on the icon under the image.

The Wildlife Foreign Nationals category is used to help identify unusual (and sometimes even common) species that are found in the wild, but aren't strictly considered 'British Wildlife'. This could include garden flowers that have seeded in rural areas or animals that have escaped from private collections or farms and now live in parks and
ponds. Essentially, it's the sort of species that many people could easily mistake as wild plants or animals, but they are often referred to as 'escapees'.

There are lots of good photo editing packages around, but a simple and free one is Google's - www.picasa.com - which enables you to easily view, edit, crop, sharpen and resize your images. For information on more commercial packages, ask for advice in the forums and you'll no-doubt get plenty of tips from the other members.

Image uploads must be at least 800x600 pixels. 600x800 are not wide enough. Uploads also  need to be less than 1mb in filesize and ideally a lot smaller so that they load quickly for all visitors to the site. 

There are two ways. Firstly, you could use the gallery's search and
choose to search by username. Secondly, whenever you're viewing an
image in the gallery it'll show the member's details underneath. Below
their name is an icon that looks like ...click on that to see all of their images

The original photographers own the copyright to their images, so you
will need to contact them if you would like to use their photos. In our
experience, almost all of the photographers will allow free use of
their images in non-commercial projects in schools and charities, but
please check with them first.

The gallery is only for good quality images of British wildlife and the countryside. Essentially, this means that we don't usually include photographs of pets, buildings, garden flowers etc. However, you can upload these type of images to the image archive if you need to post them in the forum.

The Wild About Britain gallery has lots of stunning photographs with some of the best British wildlife images to be found anywhere on the Internet. In order to maintain these high standards, we have produced the following guidelines to help all members display their photographs in the gallery.
