I finally caught up on the editing of all my recent photos from hikes and posted some from the last few hikes on www.lawrencehelm.smugmug.com You have to go there if you want to see the hike the BK2 took this morning. It consists of the last several photos in the July-September 2014 folder. It was foggy the whole time we were there, but lifting a bit as the morning wore on.

In a couple of shots toward the end I put on my cloak of invisibility and speculate on why I have been asked to take some shots of my BK2 when everyone has one.

AMAZING pics!! I wish I lived somewhere like that. I wouldn't be able to resist daily hikes. Love the dogs also.....
 
Nice Pictures Lawrence!

We all love pictures. What we love even more is pictures of knives. Especially if they are captured in great scenery.

Doesn't matter if we have the exact same knife, We want to see yours and everyone else's for that matter. lol

Really don't know why pictures of knives outside never gets boring. :D



If you go to the share button on the bottom of your photos, then go to get a link, then embedded Links, you can just click copy and then paste it in the forum text and your pictures will show up here.


On a side note: I think you need a BK-16.

Tried it again. Maybe since I'm the owner of the site it works differently for me.

Try the tab that says embedded links. There is a section for blogs and under that is a section for forums.
I think it is the third tab. I will check again and let you know.
 
Ok Lawrence, Not sure what it looks like when you are logged in to your account, but here is a pic of what should work.

I sure hope we get this figured out because I think everyone will really enjoy your awesome photos and photography skills. I know I do!!

Okay I did all that. By embed I took you to mean "paste." I didn't notice an option that actually said "embed."
 
If you look in the quick reply box you have the formatting options, the third option from the left is the embed images button.

Okay, test number 3:

Nope. I pressed the quick reply button and it didn't embed the photo. The above is what I get.

I thought I had it because it looked a bit different, but alas.

I should mention that even if we do get it, which I have doubts about at the moment, the photos go into Smugmug as the last step in my work flow. That does sound valuable -- if say I wanted to illustrate something with a photo from a past hike. But I've seen no easy way to upload anything current. Why, you ask,

I work in Raw. The photos out of the camera are Raw Orf. Orf is the Olympus version of Raw. Lightroom is what I use to convert Orf into DNG, a universal form of Raw. I then use Lightroom to edit the DNG files. When I am done I export them to another file as good quality JPEGs. Those JPEG files are not uploadable to the Blade Forum because they have to many megapixels. They are much too large. In order for me to dumb-down files I might want to upload to Blade I would have to dumb-down the photos for an entire hike, or perform some workaround action like down load all the files so I can pick the ones I want to upload to Smugmug and then go through the download process once again only this time check just the files I want to upload to Blade, dumbing down the JPEGs so they would be acceptable to the Blade format.

Why don't I just dumb down everything? I've worked with photos enough so that I can see the difference on a large screen and Smugmug will accept high-quality resolution photos.

I've played with possible options a bit but never found anything that wouldn't drive me nuts. The taking photos from my smugmug account while not using very current photos, usually, is the least nuts-driving concept I've heard about. If anyone can figure out what I'm doing wrong, I'd be happy to hear it.

Lovely photos, Lawrence.

That part of the US is very beautiful.

How old are the dogs? The Ridgeback looks great. Is the little guy a Portuguese Water Dog?

Yeah but again,everything looks similar in that region.near hemet right?

Actually everything looks similar in the South-West, but you're right, San Jacinto is just North of Hemet and we live in the Northwest corner of San Jacinto. I've done some bird-hunting in the past -- in an area half way between Tucson and Phoenix and while I'm no expert on foliage and trees it seemed pretty much just like around here.
