Heather Forcier, Editor-in-Chief of NatureScapes.Net
kindly sent me some clarifying remarks about posting on the NSN
site:
Jim,
Thanks for sharing the information about NatureScapes.Net with some
folks who might really enjoy viewing the bird photos
posted.
Just
for clarification, one only need go to the main forum page here http://www.naturescapes.net/phpBB2/index.php and select “register” towards the upper right corner of the forum
to gain free access to view and post on our forums. Also, there is no fee to
post your own photos, you merely need to
have a way to host your images on the internet first before doing so.For people who do not have this
capability, paid membership does offer the “image upload service” where
photos can be uploaded to our server and hosted there for viewing on our
forums.
Owing to the irruption of Great Gray and Northern Hawk
Owls from the North this year, bird photographers are going
crazy.
To see some remarkable pics of these owls, go to the
Naturescapes.Net site: www.naturescapes.net. Before
viewing the pics, you must first register (if you have not already done so)
for legal purposes. It's simple, quick, free and confidential.
After logging on to NSN, click on the Cover Picture to enter. Then
click on MEMBERSHIP and follow the instructions. After doing this, you
will soon receive an E-mail from NSN telling you how to activate your
membership. After registering you will be logged on automatically in
the future.
You can make comments about any of the pics you view, but
if you want to post your own, there is a fee - $30 annually.
Beware! Some of the world's best nature photogs post
on this site and will critique your pics. Their comments are usually
merciful and well-meant. Have a look at the quality of their
pics. If you have a sensitive ego, decide first if yours are in
this league. It's a great place to learn how to
improve.
