How can I upload my pictures?

How can I upload my pictures?

Next to where it says "Post" at the bottom, hit "More Reply Options" then "choose file", then "attach file"...repeat for every file you want to attach.

 

Make sure they are within the size parameters.

Any comments? I'm trying to improve always.

They look great to me. And very exotic because of the "trees" you have in there. Very different from what I am used to see in European photos.

 

The most disturbing thing are the bands of noise and smoothed noise. This is probably because of the compression or downsizing method. You can play with those. You might also want to use a film with less grain, or use software denoising. Just be careful not to overapply the software denoising. A method that proved to work good for me is to denoise the image and then blend it with the original version before the denoising.

I find the second image interesting b/c of what ever was passing in front of the camera..

Those trees are excellent models. They can pose really still for a long time.

I agree with Michal, the image files presented here are of very bad quality. You should try to save them with less compression and a bit larger in size. If the file size is too big for this forum, upload them somewhere and share a link.

It is rather what I would expect with a 400 iso color neg film. I had similar grainy results with same. I like them anyway. Would I be right the third one down is  Pleiades, Hyades with Juptier, in north-east (from SH)?

Sorry, but hat is not grain, it's the result of bad resizing algorithm (look at the jagged star tril lines) and high compression (the images are around 55 kb). Here's an example, even at this low resolution you can seethe star trails look normal.
