Image Upload Service

The image upload service is where images can be easily uploaded to the NatureScapes.Net server for hosting to display in the image critique forums. To post an image when creating a new topic please follow these steps:

When logged into your account, navigate to the forum you would like to post to and click the "New Topic" button located in the top left corner to create a new forum topic.

*Please note that all images must be 800px or less on the longest side and be 250KB or less in file size.

To attach an image to your post go to the "Options" tab at the bottom of the "Post a New Topic" screen. Click the "Browse" button to upload an image from your computer. Check the box beside "Add image to my portfolio" if you'd like to include the image in your online member portfolio - you need to have a portfolio created first in order for this to work.

When you have completed the details of your post, click the "Preview" button to see how it looks or "Submit" for your post to appear in the selected forum.

Member Portfolio

Showcase your nature images on the internet alongside portfolios of other nature photographers! Build one instead of creating your own website, or use it in addition to your existing website for increased exposure. Paid members with an annual membership receive a 100-image portfolio while lifetime members receive a 200-image portfolio. If you are interested in purchasing additional image space ($40 for 100 images) you may through our store. Portfolios have room for photos, a short biography, and contact information (including a secure contact form). Photos can be added, changed, or deleted at will and additional space may be purchased for a nominal fee. Read the NatureScapes.Net article to get started with portfolios.

• Each portfolio is assigned a unique URL based on your own name, making it easier to remember and access.

• Customize your portfolio by selecting the thumbnail to represent your portfolio at various pages. Use subcategories to group your images in any manner you wish; subcategory thumbnails will be the last uploaded photo in that subcategory unless specific photos are selected.

• Market your work to visiting photo buyers by entering relevant titles, keywords and a detailed description for your photos. A secure contact form is used for all portfolios, allowing viewers to contact you without revealing your email address. The message text is forwarded to your forum email address of record.
