THE 'NORTH WEST' PHOTO'S/VIDEO's ALBUM ?...

Paddy20

I feel sure that we must have a massive, library of individual's Photo's & Video's that would prove of interest to everyone that visits the N.W. Forum.

Why not post your favoutite photo's or video's on this thread, be they of your Home area, nice views, your family, friends, events, even yourself !.

It could even help to promote more tourism in this neglected part of Ireland.

Maybe someone who knows a simple non-techie uncomplicated way of uploading same straight on to here, might give us a few tips on how to do this, as I personally have a lot of photo's and some video of the Twin-Towns stretching back over 50 years. but I have not got a clue on how to get them uploaded direct on to a thread ?....

Just an idea, so who is going to be the first too let us have a look at your home area etc,etc, ?.... .

After all, they do say " A picture is worth a thousand words " Even those of new babies , marriage's etc. The N.W. Forum the real family forum !.

Yep, good idea. Start off a new thread with a photo of one of our Mods new baby O.K. Nanook we are waiting for the photo .

What about posting a photo of me.

Only problem is that it would cause all sorts of problems on the boards.ie servers with the stampede of women looking to view it

Good idea about the photos Paddy. Not sure if the video thing can be done though. There is a photography forum here somewhere if anyone wants help/advice with uploading the photos.

Might make it a sticky if it goes well

Tar.Aldarion

There is no problem with videos, they just have to be hosted. New comp here, no photos yet!

I think with a bit of make up applied by your missus, we could avoid the "Stampede", So lets be having pics of our Mods, just to get started of course .

After all there has been a couple of photo's of me in my sig for a long time, and I am still alive, and kicking .

P. :cool:

nanook

make you all a deal, if you want a pic of peanut (long story) and if someone can tell me how to link it here then i will post it.

Very observant smashey

Tar.Aldarion

Peanut.


Is it on your pc?

You can either go to a site like www.photobucket.com and upload it. They will provide a link.
Or else, go to advanced while replying to this thread. Manage attachments, browse for it on your pc and upload it straight here into your post.
Like...below.
(Don't judge me on my example. )

Right. This is my first effort at this.

Hey Muffler,

I recognise the Lady in the background. I know who you are. I know who you are.:p

You would not recognise that woman in the backgound as she is wearing clothes which is a bit of a drawback considering your escapades with women.:D

Has my cover been blown? Nah, nobody will recognise me with that mask on:D

smashey

Don't worry, I was just trying it on to see what kind of response I would get. Your anonymity is safe. For now. As I said a few weeks ago, I think you are from the Letterkenny area.

bettlebrox

If anyone is interested I set up a Donegal group at flickr.com, a photo site, at http://flickr.com/groups/donegal/

If you've pics of Donegal that you thing will help attract tourists feel free to joing flickr and post them to the group.

nanook

i was thinking about this, not going to upload here but if anyone wants piccies i will forward a link in a pm.

Miss Polaris & Beetlebrox,

At last this thread is coming too life, and could become very interesting , entertaning , educational as well as historically important, which is what I hoped .

Your photo's are very much appreciated, at least by me , and may well encourage others to post their gems .

Yes, good work Miss Polaris, and bettlebrox (some good Donegal images there).

Yes, c'mon byte. I know that there are some real photographic treasures in people's homes that are just dying to be exposed to a World Wide audience.

It is hard work getting them sorted and uploaded, but think of the enjoyment and appreciation you are spreading, especially amongst our ex-Pats abroad .

P. :cool:

byte

Yup, I should have a few good ones of Donegal scenery from various locations, it'll just take a bit of time to find them all, and get them uploaded!

Well done beetlebrox.

I really enjoyed watching your photo's as a slideshow, really entertaining with many gems .

This thread has reminded me of a song !, All together now - Every day its getting better, its getting better all the time I can not remember any more of it, old age you see :eek: and a tad off topic as well.

Anyway, it is not often that a thread makes me want too sing !, Must be the Photo's ?....

How come Miss Polaris & Beetlbrox are having to continually lead the way in being kind enough to share their photo's with us ?...

As I stated before, there is no doubt that there are 'Thousands of photographs, be they of family, local characters, faces, scenery, towns, special events etc, that would be really appreciated on this thread, remember people are interested in 'photographic images old or new' and we have people logging in to this North - West forum, from all over the World.

So why not participate, and show the rest of Boards.ie and the WEB just what our special North-West really has too offer .

I just know in my heart, that you can do it

Here is a link to 2 DONEGAL PHOTO'S website's :-

http://www.abiyoyo.com/ireland/donegal2/donegal.htm Plus;

http://www.abiyoyo.com/ireland/donegal1/donegal.htm

Enjoy, I did not take them, just thought people might enjoy them .

P. :cool:

Paddy20

Here is another link to a more commercial North-West Photo's website, but as Paul allows people to use his copyrighted pictures Free of charge on 'Personal websites' . I think his - generosity of spirit - deserved a plug ?..

http://www.picturesdirect.com/

There are also 10 Free screensaver's!.

Paul is based in Donegal.

Enjoy.

P. :cool:

N.B. Now I must get around to digging out some of My own photo's, I have not been setting a very 'good example' have I ?...:o but my computer system is a mess at the moment, and I am trying to get it all working together properly, once again, here's hoping ?..

Paddy20

Byte,

Hey luverly, and your own website !, great idea, and Magical photo's .

BTW, Who is RONAN ( The name enscribed in the sand, pic number 2 link ?... ) I especially like the way they load so quickly, and can be really enlarged simply by clicking on The bottom right of the pic's.

The people who wrote "Ronan" were down on the beach when I took the photo.

There is a lot (and I mean a LOT) of steps down to the beach. Can't remember now but it was over 100.

I was on that beach and from memory, there are 173 steps down to it. It makes the ascent to the car park interesting.

I could be wrong here but I think that as the number of views has now risen to 10 would indicate the number of times the single image has been viewed as opposed to the number of images

Hmmm, interesting.

You know there are a lot of Towns in the North-West that I have never seen !, it would be nice if we had at least - one photo - of each town, on this thread ?....
