I meant this ^. How do I embed pictures in my post?

[DavidEccleston]

If you have a url directly to the image. Click the film strip icon. Paste the URL in the box, optionally enter the dimensions (so the page doesn't re-layout when the image size is found).


It's against the Flickr terms of service to link directly though, they want the image to be a link back to their site. To do that:


1. On flickr, choose the "share this" drop down.
2. Click grab HTML.
3. Select a size that's no wider than 800.
4. Copy the HTML code box.
5. On TDP, click the HTML button (last button).
6. Paste in the HTML code.

Yes. No bribes needed they have been cooperating for years. As they get older it is easier and more fun too.

Tom,


I think the lighting set up for the black and whites you posted work very well for the man in the hat! It's a great mood/emotion that the subject emits and the lighting emphasizes that greatly! I'm not sure I would use the same lighting for the clarinetist though. Personally, I'd like to see a bit more of the left (viewer's right) side of her face. I'm nit-picking, I hope you don't mind! Again though, fantastic lighting on the man in the hat!

Not at all nit-picking. All advise is good advice. Here is another view of the clarinetist.


This shot of the boy was supposed to be included, don't know how the shot of the waterfall was put in a portrait thread so I deleted it.

The photo of the boy is really nice, Tom. That is what I have been trying to achieve for months!
