Hi Ally
Well you've uploaded some crackers yourself tonight - see you are moving into portrait photography with some 'still life's, usually in the boozer
I suppose the answer to your question is that even with 2500 members, not all of them actually take photographs themselves, some may not even have a camera, although given the price of digital's these days they are affordable.
Not sure the owners of the site can do anything to get members to post photographs, although I'm sure they would like to have a lot more contributing.
At the end of the day I suppose its a case of some folk being interested in taking and sharing photographs, others in simply posting scans of their old prints/slides, others who just like to view photographs and others that aren't bothered about the photographs and just want to join in with the craic.

I'm sure there's a fair few fall into the can't be arsed category. Parr for the course I suppose, same as most places, fair enough for those that are a lang way from the sea and just want to have a bit look I suppose. Not much you can do about it though
got a big pile here from a mate in ardnamurchan who passed em on to me as I'm sure he thinks computers are the devils work!

We'v tried our best by offering decent prizes bought between the sites owners and also some fantastic prizes donated by some of our members, if anyone has any ideas about improving things please feel free to speak up and we will take note.
I always see both sides of the argument, the one that's wrong and mine.....

Hi Paul
21,614 shots in some 14 months isn't bad in my book, together with 2.437 topics posted to the Forum with 12,307 replies/comments on those topics

I would take photos more often, the only problem is that I don't get much time to do so, there's not many boats left to take photos of and I'm not very good at taking photos. Plus for the past few months most of the fleet have been returning after dark so any photos I take would be of blurred lights and rain illuminated by the flash, and then I have a good habit of forgetting to charge my camera up when I do bother taking it .

if anyone needs photos resizing feel free to email them to barry@trawlerpictures.net and I'll shrink them down and email them back to you or I can post them on the site and change ownership of the photo to yourself. If you do want me to post them please include the info for the picture
Any other problems feel free to ask and between us all I'm sure we'll manage to help

Or use the FREE program Picassa 3 from Google @ http://picasa.google.com/
This program is good for editing and resizing photographs and best of all it is FREE. Yes that's tight, its FREE.

yes steve thats right i use picassa its brilliant for editing pics etc etc
Yup, good for anyone who doesn't want the expense of a full blown photographic manipulation program - it will do everything that is required to get a photograph in a fit enough condition to be uploaded here - I use the program for its Album facility.
