I know it was not my camera, my fly shop lighting, nor my computers photo editing program for the “Pink Photos”, that I sent to the Tying Board directly from my computer… The photos below were first sent to Photo Bucket, and from Photo Bucket I sent them to this board of FAOL for viewing. Now everyone can enjoy viewing the “Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear - Dry Fly” photo’s taken with my Sony Mavica Telephoto/Macro Camera, that I bought from James Birkholm in 2001.
When taking dressing a new fly pattern, or taking photos for a article, I always use a large sized hook for the fly pattern. In for dry flies I use a size 10 for learning the “Muscle Memory” required for the dressing the pattern, and for better photo images! Later on I, switch hook sizes, downward until I reach the recommended range for the fly pattern.
I used the “[SIZE=4][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=4]Du Bois - Fly Fisherman’s & Fly Tier’s Gauge” article in FOTW (which is missing in the archives. I have a copy of it on my computer, and it is on all the FAOL Fly Pattern CD’s that I have mailed out.[/SIZE][/FONT][/SIZE]

Since you have them on Photobucket already, just copy and paste the IMG link to your posts. Then you don’t have to upload to the board at all. Saves server space and bandwidth for LF.
Thank You for your posts, as for saving server space, then why would FAOL give us the options. I used Photo Bucket because of the “Pink Tint” problem to show that is was not my camera, fly shop lighing, computer or my photo editing computer program. My www server is Comcast so I have broadband service.
If you’re comparing the viewing of photos from two different sources, then post the the two photos from both sources in the same post and lets see what happens.
For this thumbnail I copied the link in photo bucket and pasted in the post.
Here is the same photo from my computer that I uploaded to photo bucket, only attached through the BB software.
Note: Weird, in the preview before posting I saw 2 thumbnails. after posting I see the thumb from photo bucket and just a link that says “attachment”, but when editing to post this note, I see both thumbs again.
Bottom line, I don’t think what server the pic is on has anything to do with the color being displayed unless one of the servers is changing the file (unlikely).
By the way, as to why post from a photo server like photo bucket when you can upload attachments to the FAOL server? If the pics are already on another server (which many of us already do) there is no sense uploading again when we can just post a link. If you do not upload to anything else then that different.
Checking it again tonight I get the “Attachment error”.

Agreed.
There is no reason that the file (after the automatic in-camera processing and any adjustments you might make on your own) should have any alteration whatsoever in the image information encoded in the file. As long as you’re snapping JPEGs and only ever saving as JPEGs, you’ll lose a bit of information with each save, but not nearly enough to notice easily at most normal viewing resolutions, and even then, the (very slight) degradation is fairly generalized loss of quality, not a significant color shift.
As far as using server space is concerned, remember Himself talking about pics using up bandwidth and limiting pics? Trav and Deanna are being kind and gracious by having it available to users. Just because it’s there, doesn’t mean you have to use. That being said, if your convinced that FAOL turned your other pics pink, why would you use it when Photobucket balances the color so much better. I’m a Photobucket user myself, left over from the days of Himself.
A little side track that the powers that be might be interested in.
I have a friend who IMO is all wise in photography and computers so I figured he would know the answers. I sent him the link to this thread and asked his opinion Here’s his reply.
"I tried to view the pictures but found that I must register in order to do so. So, I went through the steps to give all the info they wanted, checked my Email, and entered the registration key I had been given. Next came a screen saying:
“Thank you for registering, johwhi. Your account has been submitted for moderation by an administrator and will be activated shortly. You will be notified by email when this happens. To return to the forums, click here.”
Looks like somebody will have to look into my character, security clearance, etc. I’ll try again during the week. Do you guys do a lot in atomic secrets and weapons development?"
Is it really that hard to become a member?..could be a turn off.
Great! ducksterman let the cat out of the bag about our secret squirrel weapons program. Sorry duck, your friend has to be taken out now. Don’t worry, the Black Ops Team will make it quick and painless.
Actually, it is that difficult. Every new member has to be approved by an admin type before being admitted as a member. That’s how we keep the spammers out of here. You know, the folks with a wholesale account for Viagra, Nike shoes, and mail order brides fom the country of your choice. When we first started using this system, maybe 4 out of 10 applicants were real people, now it’s about 8 out of 10. The system seems to be working.
