Title: ACT Bus Gallery: Contributor Call
Post by: Buzz Killington on October 12, 2008, 12:17:44 PM
As you all know, we have restarted our Gallery section on the new server.

If anyone is interested in having their own album to upload photos into, let me know. You will be given a logon and its a very easy process to upload the photos You can caption and watermark your photos very easily.

I'm currently aiming to have at least one photo of each vehicle and so far there have been a few vehicles for which we do have photos of in the ACT Bus collection, but are not quite suitable, so if you guys do upload photos of the missing vehicles, I may use them in the individual bus albums also. Of course, your images will be watermarked and credited.

So yeah.. if you're interested, let me know here and I'll set you up with a logon etc.

Apologies, the offer is now on hold while we work through some technical issues the gallery is having.

...aaaand we're back. Our host has finally resolved the issue we were having, which was limiting uploads to around 500kb at a time.

And before anyone points it out, im aware there are a heap of thumbnails and images not displaying and showing a "broken image" logo. Our webhost advise that they moved our site across servers and this caused the loss.

Thanks to Irisbus Rider, who will be one of our contributors.

A few days off work has allowed me to slowly get through all the vehicles, and upload at least one photo of each one. There are a few missing (either we didnt have a photo, or we did and it was unsuitable). I've done all albums except the PR100.2 Mk2's which I am currently about halfway through.

Once a photo for each vehicle has been uploaded, when time permits i will go back and upload more photos to the albums. Also, any members who post photos here, if you wish to have those uploaded to the gallery, just indicate that in your post.

The ACTION Buses Album is now up to 659 photos. Thanks go to Todd Milton, and to the ACT Retired Transport Employees Club who have kindly allowed us to feature their photographs.

Now that we've got photos up of each bus (where possible), is there any photo albums in particular that people would like to see filled up a little more? (i.e. Artics, Scanias etc) ?
