How to Upload Photos


NOTE:
This page requires modifying by the new Webmaster to reflect how he/she wishes to handle the submission of photos and walk reports.  The Dropbox process described below worked very well but was tied to Robert Cope's personal Dropbox account.  Items in RED will require deletion/amendment.


PHOTOS:

Photos are welcomed from anyone participating in any of our walks, and will be uploaded to the website under the Walks 20XX tab.

There is no need to re-size photos (which should be .jpg files), but please limit the number submitted to 15.  Photos should be relevant to the walk itself (landscapes, flora & fauna, amusing incidents - and of course participants themselves).  However please respect Individuals' privacy as not everyone likes (or even agrees to) being photographed.

There are two alternative ways to submit your photos:

1.  Dropbox Upload

This is the preferred method as it is by far the most straightforward to administer and eliminates the need for multiple emails and file attachments.  This uses a Dropbox “cloud storage” account in my name (Robert Cope), and the photos uploaded are only accessible by me.  Once transferred to the North Yorkshire website they will be deleted, so please keep your own copies if required.

A further advantage of this method is that it automatically and simultaneously issues two emails: (i) to you that your photos have been successfully uploaded and (ii) notifies me that you have sent them.  As such no further communication is required.

Click on the link below and follow the instructions.  Note there is no need to create a Dropbox account - though you will be invited to do so.

2.  Email Attachments

If the Dropbox method is not suitable, the traditional approach of sending phots as email attachments may be used.  Where technically possible however, please try to avoid sending multiple emails each with a single photo attached (15 emails with 15 single attachments is much more time consuming to administer!).

Please use the following email address for this purpose:

WALK REPORTS:

Walk reports (either accompanied by photos or on their own) can also be submitted by either of the two alternatives described above.  If using the Dropbox method, the walk report would need to be in a generally accepted form of text file.

Looking forward to receiving lots of amusing photos and stunning Yorkshire scenes.

Any questions/problems, please feel free to contact me.
