Adam, that's great I will certainly post to it. I was having trouble even logging on the Pentaxium site. Way to go.

Good Shooting.
Cheers: David

I'd love to upload a photo. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to reduce the file size

If you have photoshop, use file>save for web and resize the image to reasonable dimensions.

If not, lower the resolution to 800x534 in any photo editor.

I just posted a practice shot for the Pentaxium Gallery and it went very well. This should be a great day.

I'm surprised there are only 11 pictures so far. Hopefully the word got out and there will be a lot more in the next day or so.

The announcing on pentaxium.com's part wasn't optimal, so yeah, I hope the news does spread...

They're supposed to be taken on the 24th, but we can give you a bit of slack due to time-zone differences

Hi Adam,
There are a lot of pentaxers saying that they have missed the day. Not enough notice etc. Especially on the other forum. I've got a couple which I'll put up later. So I think it won't be as popular this time round unfortunatly.

Perhaps we could allow tomorrow's photos as well?

We really need to get the word to spread- a link from pentaxium.com would also help.

The upload link doesn't work for me. I'm on a Mac and have tried with Safari and Firefox.

I browsed the gallery on a Mac yesterday, and everything worked.

What error are you getting?

Sorry, my bad. Didn't recognize the "Continue" button as the path to follow from the Upload page. I had kept clicking the "Upload" hypertext to no useful end. Now I know better.

Glad it works

Thanks for all the submissions, guys! I'll leave the category open for a while, however, for those that didn't know about this site.
