Species-Specific Albums 2014
Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2014 2:48 pm
Just to let everyone know that the yearly review of the images in the Species-Specific Albums gallery/album.php?album_id=160 will commence shortly. These albums are the repository of all images contributed by members and serve to feed the individual Species Pages eg. http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species. ... cardamines, as well as the Species Identification Section http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species_ ... &stage=all and Stock Photo Library http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/stock_index.php .These are different from the Species-Specific Forums where species-related topics are discussed and which hosts such items as the "Favourite Photos of 2014".
Are you all still with me?![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
The review will involve pruning out the lower-quality images, duplicates, and some which have been superseded by improved (or better labelled) shots. The aim is not only to provide the most up-to-date and extensive image library of butterflies of the British Isles anywhere on the web, but ultimately also to serve as a valuable scientific resource. For these reasons it would be very helpful if posted images contained information regarding location and date (most easily included in the "Imagename" box). This would not apply to sensitive sites.
Fresh images for inclusion into the Species-Specific Albums will now mainly be selected by moderators, who will monitor the various personal diaries, sightings reports, personal albums and photo competitions. We do not want to discourage anyone from submitting images, but would ask that you first read the Gallery Guidelines http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/gallery_guidelines.php .If you are new to the website and have a library of images, then I would suggest that you firstly open a personal album. If in any doubt about an image, then please ask.
My continued thanks go to everyone who has contributed images to the Species-Specific Albums in the past. If anybody has any comments or questions about the review, then please post them here or send me a PM.
