What are the Gallery Guidelines?

in

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. 

*****Please Do Not Post Images of Bird Nests***** 

 

Are My Pictures Good Enough?

How big should my images be?

in

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. 

How can I edit my photographs before uploading them?

in

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.

How Can I View All Images by one Photographer?

in

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

Can I Add Non-wildlife Images?

in

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.

How can I Rename, Edit or Delete an Image?

in

Only the gallery editors are able to edit or rename images in the Gallery and the Image Library. To notify the Gallery Editors, please click on the icon under the image.

Can I use Gallery Photos in Presentations, Print etc?

in

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.
