Hello JT - I am not convinced that the new interface on the Photo-page is an improovement - quite the contrary.
Sorry but I miss two very important functions:

1) to be able to clikk the EXIF-Data for any image !!!
2) where is the "Who liked your image" we had before? This is gone now !!!

Sorry, JT - but this is my feeling for the new interface
But, anyway - I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!!
:o)

Om my God. Am an old and full of gray hairs now. But this was just forwarded to me from an old high school friend I have not spoken with in years. This is a super dork image. But this is from my senior year in high school 1980!

Don't laugh !! 😝



Nikon F2 and Nikon F.

Creating a story still lets you present your a photographic story using your photos from the gallery. The process is quite simpe.

Go to your dashboard and click on Manage stories from the Manage options menu on the left. Or, use the top menu under Stories.

If you do not have any stories started yet, you will get a message. Simply click on the Add a new story button to create a story.

Give the story a title and some content in the form that you see. Then click on Submit new story.

Don't worry. Its not published yet.

Now add the photos you wish to include in your story by clicking on the Add photos link on the manage your story page. Clicking on this link brings you into the familiar edit edit photo options you have already used before. All your photos will be displayed in order to assign them to stories. However, to minimize clutter, only the Stories option is available. Your are simpl;y selecting the pictures you wish to include in your story at this time.

Just make sure to click on Apply edits under each photo to save your changes. If you want to make changes afterwards, just refresh the page.

Done adding photos to your story? Just click on Manage stories from the top menu and you will be back at the basic story management menu.

You will now see Edit photos link instead of the Add photos link.

Click on it and from, there add the content you wantto display for each photo, set the display order or remove photos from the story.

As you hover over each photo, the edit options will appear. Just make changes and click on Submit edits.

Use the Display order field to set the order in which the photos appear. 1 would be at the top, followed by 2, etc ... If you messed up and want to stick another picture between 1 and 2, give it a display order of something like 1.5.

Also you can use any number values, you can start with 10, and increment to 20 or 25 ot whatever. Just remember the display order in the story is based on the numeric value you assign.

If you check the Publish checkbox, and apply changes, your story will be published and visible to others.

To view stories, simply click on Stories from the top menu. Click on the title of a story to view the story.

Layout of the images on the story are balanced between left and right of the page. This is automatically done for you and you have no control over that.

Here is an example of a story on leicaimages featuring X Pan format

Switch the dark theme to a more widely accepted colors pallet for photo galleries.

Let me know what you think.

For all of you that have made a donation / subscription to the site, I wanted to say thank you very much for your support. It really helps keep the site going and I want you to know I am very appreciative.

Thank you,

JT

Long overdue.

After many years, It was time to create a mobile version of the gallery site. Having said that, you can now browse the gallery software from your mobile device with a better presentation.

Keep in mind, mobile version has some limitations due to so much content on the site. But, the basic functionality is there.

You can always switch between Desktop and Mobile version by clicking on the Computer or Phone icon located on the top menu.

This has been carried over to all the sister sites as well
www.leicaimages.com
www.nikonimages.com
www.zeissimages.com
www.voigtlanderimages.com

Please report any issues so I can try and resolve them.

Thanks

Just wanted to update you on the new Featured Photographer section of the site.

Every now and then a photographer comes along that demonstrates great talent in his or her photography. The featured Photographer section allows us to view these selected photographers and their work.

Please take some time and browse their Photos for some amazing work.

So How Many BYTES must an AVATAR be to get uploaded -- no matter how SMALL I make a pic the message still comes up that is has Exceeded the Byte Size and will not allow me to have an AVATAR -- Please Advise ! PS -- I FINALLY got INTO t his Site after many attempts -- I changed my E mail to my second E mail and user name a bit and got finally accepted to show my NIKON SNAPS !

I have Searched and Searched on this Sie but NO-WHERE can I find how to 'Make an ALBUM' of NIKON Cameras I use, On your OTHER Sites there is 'Edit Albums' then 'make a New Album' but NOT on THIS NIKON Site ! Please Advise --

My ZF is here and now I can post to my own website :)

I am so stoked about the new ZF. I can't wait for my ZF in black to arrive. I think this will be one of those game changing cameras in todays digital world. So much so that today I have created nikon-zf.com just for the ZF series cameras.

I am jealous of those who have theirs already. Otherwise, I would be posting my own ZF pictures. So. I humbly ask that if you own a ZF and wouldn't mind sharing a few pictures on www.nikon-zf.com please do. This is day 1 and there is nothing for me to share yet ,

If you are a blogger, reviewer or run a store that sells camera lenses consider becoming a sponsor and taking advantage of the crosslink feature.

The crosslink features lets you direct traffic to your site specific page based on the lens you cross link. For example, if you wrote a review or are blogging about the Zeiss 50mm Makro Planar you would create a crosslink to your page about the lens. When someone views a photo taken with linked lens, they will see an info box that states "Learn more about this lens from our sponsor". Your name will be listed as a clickable link that directs the user to the page you setup.

Have a look at this photo:

https://www.zeissimages.com/photo/500487 and you will see a crosslink in action.

You can also direct it to your store as well. Like in this photo:

https://www.leicaimages.com/photo/403580

Send us an email and we will get you set up!

We are pleased to announce the annual Zeissimages.com photography contest in collaboration with our sponsor Zeiss, photography division.

As in previous years, our contests begin in the fall and run through December so that the winner can enjoy their prize during the holiday seasons.

The contest is open to members of Zeissimages.com starting on Oct 4th 2023. If you are not currently a member, you can join for free.

This year there will be no specific theme in general. However, you could say we are looking for that "Wow!" factor. Whether it be landscape, portrait, street or studio. We are looking for that image that keeps you coming back to view over and over.


The winner may have their choice of the one lens from the following list which will be provided and shipped directly from our sponsor Zeiss.

• Zeiss Batis
• Zeiss Touit
• Zeiss Milvus
• Zeiss ZM (21mm f2.8, 25mm f2.8, 28mm f2.8, 35mm f2, 35mm f2.8, 50mm f1.5 or 50mm f2)

Good luck !

You can provide simple links to your profile with zessimages.com in the url to make it easy to share on other sites by simply prefixing with your username.

For example

http://jt.nikonimages.com

will go directly to my profile page.

Do NOT put https in the link as it will not pass the security test and throw a warning. You can use http which will redirect to https for you.

If you have a dot in your name, then just remove the dot. so a user name with john.doe would just be jondoe

I for one am super excited with everything I have read and seen about it. It will be a perfect companion to an existing FM3 or F3.

I think Nikon has really raised the bar with this new retro / modern camera and I for one, am getting one to use with my old F mount lenses!

Fuji. Watch your back !

That's right. Free classifieds for the time being. No fees. Take advantage and post your ads now. Time to sell some of that gear you don't use anymore.

Ever wanted to replace a photo with a better quality version of it or higher resolution without losing links, views, likes, comments etc... ? Well now you can. I added the ability to replace an image.

Simply click the edit options for the image and Follow the link under the "Replace image" option.

Yes. Very soon you will have the ability to create a story with your pictures. A photo essay with selected images to tell a story. What a great way to convey your scene or topic to others. These will be featured for all to see and read. Still working on functionality. But, hang tight.

So I have noticed that my images look fuzzy on the website. The reason being is because I have a 4k monitor and my display settings on the computer is set to 150% so things don't look so small.

Lightroom knows about this and handles the pixels density and ratio properly. However, the web browsers do not. Therefore, in my case, images look 150% and pretty bad.

having said that, If I export from lightroom and save as a 4000 pixel image, the its scaled down in the browser a little and it looks decent.

Here is an example of the image exported in 4000 pixel

https://www.leicaimages.com/photo/100079

compared to 2000

https://www.leicaimages.com/photo/100074

I can try and code around this but I thought this would be a temporary solution.
