Ok, back on track a little... can people also kindly describe the equipment they're using? My mountain pics are about 4 years old, and I had my trusty Canon G2... a decent consumer camera. I have upgraded to Digital Rebel XTi since then, but I've only really taken baby pictures with it so far. Here's another mountain picture... this one taken in series with my G2 and stitched in photoshop. This is from the tower at Rocca Maggiore, the fortress that stands above the Italian town of Assisi.
I used a Nikon Coolpix S4 for my shots. I will replace it with a Rebel XTi most likely but I will keep this guy for macro shots if the XTi doesn't work as well without espensive lenses.
Hey I went to Colorado for the first time with dad, sister and brother in law. I am ready to move! We went to Denver, Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge and Golden. We also saw Red Rock amphitheater. Wow, it is beautiful out there. I want to insert pics but the icon only brings up a spot for a url (http://). Is there a spot for an attachment? I tought I did this once.

Yes, but it's a different procedure since the switch to the new software. Now, you click on the paper clip icon at the top of the post you're typing. Then click on one of the browse buttons to browse your computer for photos to attach. Then you attach the photo you want. Then you click the upload button. The photo will now appear as an attached thumbnail at the bottom of your post. In the old days, it used to appear full size right in the text of your post. NOTE: With the new software came severe size limitations for attachments. If your photos are high resolution or large size, you'll first have to resize them to fit within the size limitations of the board, or else you won't be able to upload them. NOTE 2: Now, if you want to insert full size photos right in the text of your post (as most of the photos posted in this thread are), you'll have to upload photos to a photo sharing site like flickr or to a PriusChat Photo Album that you created (see that new Photo Albums link at the top of PriusChat pages?). Then you click that yellow mountain and sun icon to insert the URL for that particular photo, which URL needs to be preceded by "", with no space between those code commands and the URL.
@Boo: lol Attached are a ranier shot; one of clouds on the near (western edge) of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie Forest, and Snow Lake which was snowed in til early August this year. --Matthew
Colorado pics if they work. Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, my dad an I freezing and eating ice cream and a Baseball game (great seats until it rained). op2:
Those are all great pictures! Here are two from Colorado! One is a fall drive in the mountains, and the other is the iced up Toyota emblem on the wheels of my old guzzler I sold and am replacing with the Prius I am still waiting for!
