Moddit, good eye. Nice composition, which is hard to capture, when photographing nature.

Thanks for the compliments, getting reasonable sharpness and detail in macro is not so easy, at least after the
long night insects are sometimes more interested in feeding than my presence.- This reply was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by ModdIt.

It is indeed hard to catch nature in action with clarity.

It is always first suggested to rename the file in case of upload errors.

Just tried to upload packs.png 2.2 MB. Well I’ll try a different one. Our dog Lili a few years back in a “perfect” shot:)

To stop the forum from being overloaded with images and videos, only upload small files.
If you want to share bigger files, then post a link to a third party host.Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

I use imgbb but I think it removes the image after 60 days of not being accessed or something similar. It is easy for me because I don’t need to register and it already gives me a bbcode to use to paste a miniature of the image linking to the “big” image.
skidoo sometimes uses vgy.me, but you need to register to use it. I think they don’t remove images except if you manually remove them yourself.

I’ve been using https://postimages.org/ For my github. The links are permanent.
Thanks for input, after reading policy and privacy notices will probably
register with vgy.me tomorrow. They do require an EMail adress.Right now too full of spicy Masala (curry/Kari) Lentils and Beans, eaten with
fresh chapati bread from home milled chick pea and red lentle flour. And some
spinach.When I began using vgy.me a couple years ago, it accepted anonymous uploads.
I chose to use that site because unlike many other hosters I tested, it did not (still does not) aggressively re-compress uploaded images to conserve storage space on the server ~~ which would cause blurred text within screencap images.Later they began injecting captcha puzzles to solve, unless you created a login account.
About a year ago, they changed to outright requiring login to upload.
(Apparently, the captcha-solving bots employed by would-be upload spammers were “winning”.)When logged in, you can view pages of thumbs for images you have uploaded (in case you want to lookup and re-share a link to an image). FWIW, they have never sent an unsolicited email message and no 3rd party spammer has ever contacted the unique, aliased, mailbox I used when I registered.
@all, Thanks for further insights,
A big argument for vgy.me, the site skidoo has been or is using is no recompression, that ruins any quality image
especially macro which is neccesary for the bugs I often ask for portraits..
Must respect them, some can cause real harm if angered. My asian friends are scared to death of big yellow wasps and
more so the hornets i was carefuly approaching. I had/have more fear of stonefish and cone shells because they are totaly
alien, some cones deadly.vgy has no we look after your images by giving them to third partys and they have their own privacy policy mentioned,
which leads to total loss of controll, especially when images are transferred to USA.You did agree by uploading dear, if you wish to use the image, you transferred all rights to us, our fees are $$$$$.

KI is advancing fast, the vgy homepage mentioned the problems with spamming.
