CV 12 kit setup

Victor:

Use the direct link it provides in the image gallery then in the message creation window press the little mountain icon to put a picture into the message. Paste the URL into the pop-up from the image icon. I did that to link it in this message

OK, Jack I give up

The BB link is only a thumbnail, and the other is a link that doesnt work

how do you get the whole image to show here from the gallery

Click on that thumbnail

Or, alternatively, use the code as Rob described -- note that the dilog simply takes that url and adds the proper opening and closing HTML code of
{IMG}image_url_from_forum_link_always_ending_in_.jpg{/IMG} only in the solid square brackets. (Can't show them here as it thinks it's real code.)

The main advantage of either of these methods over the simpler attatchment, is you can place the image directly in your post, between words or paragraphs, and not just all at the end of your thread

Bottom line is you now have three options for embedding/loading images in your thread, or four if you loded a large original like I did with my DOmke J803 bag image. If I go to my gallery and click on the picture of my J803 bag in my gear portfolio, I immediately see a 750 pixel image. Using the "direct link" url under that image with the IMG code button, I can insert it here and you'll see a 750 pixel image:

However, if I then click the 750 pixel image in my gallery, I get to the full 1200 pixel image. There is a new direct link url under that and I can use it instead and place the larger image here like so:

To clarify, if all I want to do is keep the image small so you can click it if you want to see the larger image or not, I embed th BB code link for that image and you get the thumb:



Finally, I could also upload that image from my computer as an attachement and it would show at the bottom as a 750 pixel image attatched before my signature.

Cheers,

Click on that thumbnail

,

Problem with clicking on the thumbnail is it brings up a gallery with other images in it. When I clicked on
Victor's thumbnail of the church, beside it was this image

I believe you can place the image directly in the post between words or paragraphs with the attachment (paper clip icon) as well. For example, if I take Jack's image of the Domke bag (downloaded to my desktop) and use the paper clip icon to upload and then use the manage attachments function from the paper icon I can insert it in the post like so:

View attachment 123

Then I can add more text and images throughout the rest of the post. Perhaps this is what you were already saying and perhaps I misunderstood.

 

[Jack]

Yes, good point. The paper clip is another way, but is essentially the same thing as the {img} code, just uses {attach} code instead, but accomplishes the same task.

Bottom line, is ANY of the methods work just fine, so just use whatever works best for you

I see that is one of Peter's images... Nice aspect ratio Peter!

 

[gogopix]

ASpect ratio?
you crack me up

forget the image of the bag!

I'll take two of the M8 w 21 ASPH, a side order of filters, and some Eclipse2 to wash it down!!

Wow, it's a lot smaller than I had expected! It also doesn't seem to vignette a whole lot.

Works great with the 21mm CV finder - which is the same as the 15 VF with 21 framlines etched into it. The etched 21 lines work well with the 15mm lens.

This is definitely going in my landscape kit, which will consist of the CV 12, 35/2 IV, and 135/4 Tele-Elmar... using the RRS L bracket. With the camera on tripod over my shoulder two lenses, card oyster case, and a spare battery should fit in a Photorunner fanny pack.

Long weekend coming up!!!
