Gallery of Taxidermy

We are looking for some images to go on the website. We are asking members if they could send pictures of good work (from conferences or home projects) but also specimens that you first attempted - this is where the Chairman's "Frankenstein's Owl" will be displayed shortly........

(anyone not wishing for their name or photos of there works to appear can opt out, You must inform the secretary at the start of any meeting ).

Sending photos:

If a more than 4mb please send on a CD to
Mike Gadd
Hollydean Cottage
Padmans Lane
Boston Spa
west York's LS23 6BR

If less please email to:
email: mike@taxidermy.co.uk

If you can it will be a great help to keep the image web site naming convention:

If you have any pictures you would like to send, can you please name them with the following protocol - this will help image retrieval:

Photos From Conferences/seminars
year_item_name_your_name would actually look like this:

"2006_barn_owl_mike_gadd.jpg"
or
year-item-name-your-name-logNumber and view number would actually look like this:
2006-barn-owl-mike-gadd-12345v01.jpg

Tutorial Photos:
If you are doing a tutorial please rename images:
tut(short name for tutorial or title) would actually look like this:

tut-making-rock-compo-2.jpg

Gallery Photos
item_your_name_logNumber eg:
grey_squirrel_guildmember_00123.jpg

when we get to a few hundred photos it will really help thanks

Resizing sending  Images

I suggest the maximum size to upload is 12000 px this should be OK for most purposes. send to me on a CD/DVD or email if 5 or less photos if more or un resized please send on a CD

To Resize images you can do this on a PC by :
Right click on image (or select multiple images then right click) and chose Send to / Mail Recipient
from the pop-up choose
Show more options
select Large (fits in a 1024 by 768 window)
click OK
you will then have an email ready to go with the resized images send .
If more you can save the images to a NEW or DIFFERENT folder
Create or use a different folder to the one you had your originals in, open this folder you can now drag the image icon from the attachment bar on the email to your new folder. You now have resized images.

Watermarking !
We can and may watermark images this is not an automated process so may not be applied to all photos, any comments on this please contact.
