For those who want to contribute photos, Peter Bath, our VP, is curating the site, and his guidelines are copied below from the August Newsletter:

GUIDELINES FOR HAVING PHOTOS UPLOADED ONTO OUR NATIONALPICTURE SITE

The hosting site Flickr, is intended for members to share original photos and video that they themselves have created. We can't really upload anything that isn't ours. By submitting a picture for upload you are in fact gifting it and the rights to it to the club so that it can become ours. You therefore need to have personally taken or own the photos that you submit. Photos collected or copied from around the internet (e.g. a great pic of Michael Dunlop riding to victory in the Isle of Man on his S1000RR) can't be uploaded onto our site unless one of our members actually took it themselves. (It will be possible to share other interesting photos found on the internet through the Forum site)To maintain some uniformity and enhance viewing pleasure (especially those viewing slideshows) the following file size is required:1024x768 ("Large" Windows Explorer resize) greater than 1 MB is getting too large (in JPEG format) Photos to be emailed to -photos@bmwor.org.nz Photos on USB memory sticks posted to - BMWOR NZ, P O Box 109-245, Newmarket, Auckland, 1149 (No video will be uploaded to Flickr at this stage)Photo files pertaining to a ride or event need to be grouped into a set/album and each set/album given a - Area code - (NLD,AUK,BOP, ECO, RAN, WEL, MRL, NEL, CAN, OTA etc.) (groups from different areas could do the same ride e.g. the Molesworth)Brief name - for ride/event Date- (same ride/event may be repeated annually) (When selection for an album takes place, this will bedone on the basis of what is learnt fromviewing stats)Title/caption given to photo by renaming the pic file (Once uploaded more details can be provided by the person submitting it bytheir adding a comment from within Flickr)Lastly, you need to indicate who you would like to be able to view the photo: Public - anyone in the wide world if the web whocomes across it on Flickr (through open search engines) Friends/Family only - present and past members of BMWOR NZ only. Thisselection will be made much easier if it is for the whole set/album rather than for individual photos in the set.If photos are submitted according to the above, we will do our best to get them uploaded with the minimum of delay.Peter B(And, out of pure habit, because I have a Flickr account of my own, I put the screen shot above on Photobucket to post here: dif'rent strokes for dif'rent folks.

Please don't be put off by the number of Canterbury Area photos on the site. The hope is that in time it will become a truly national shared site. It's just that it started off as the Canterbury site that has all our pics from the last five or six years. We look forward to receiving any pics from the rest of the country to add to it.CheersPeter B

Thanks. We just need folk to start sending in their pictures nowThere is a fair bit of interest in the pictures. We have had over 4,500 views since the site became a national one. Now 75,000 views total (a person clicking on a thumbnail pic to view it counts as 1)  🙂
