And a fine mod they have too!!

YES SENSEI !!!!

lol

Hi Mel, do cloud shots go under ‘landscape’ catergory? Stuck.

Clouds go in the sky, Cathleen :)

hehe

You can put them in landscape, I’m guessing

Thanks for the welcome, peeps, lets hope we can share some good tips as well as good pics!

Cool I might have one for there.

Look forward to good times Mel! One thing we’re not short of on the Island is coast! :-D

Thanks for creating this group.

Mel – can I take it for granted that any ‘water’ scape will do?
ie – lakes… :)

Excellent Mel!

Yay….a Seascapes Group!! Well done Mel! I’ll be joining this one, I’ve lived by the Sea all my life and I love it!

Thanks for this Mel, it’s a group that needed to be created.

I also note that, even at this early stage, there’s a couple of people who don’t appear to have got the “only one per day” request. ;-)

I have a question that’s probably more interface related.

There don’t appear to be any forums attached to the groups, so whilst I found this entry here in your journal, where do we ask these questions such as you mention?

I can’t find a way to upload to the group. Can youplease give me some indication?

bidkev: Go to the image you want to add to the group, but in edit mode, somewhere on the page you’ll find a list of checkboxes for the groups you’re a member of. Check for this group and save your image’s details.

Personally I think it’s a horribly kludgy way of doing things and I hope RB change it at some point.

Brenda, I expect they will come. You can bubblemail the person you wish to ask, until then.

I was a bit slow on the one per day thing…..i’ll look at cleaning them out in a day or two :) Kev, bubblemail on the way

thanks Dave and Mark…..lol! Mark, I’m originally figured I’d call it seascapes and limit it to seawater, but lakes can be a bit problematic in landscape, can’t they….what does everyone think? Shall we have lakes too?

Looks like we’ve got lakes….lol! Waterscapes it is! Welcome everyone, I’m running out of puff

Good on ya Mel!! :D

thanks for starting this group mel.

Great idea Mel. Now all I have to do is figure out how to join and upload??

Hi Mel, thanks for creating this group.

I never know where to put my lakescapes so would be very happy if they are allowed in this group. Thank you :o)

You’re always taking fantastic seascapes, Kathy, so please feel free to add some here!!!
Andy, bubblemail on the way :)

I live in a land full of lakes and yet so far away from them all :( But I will enjoy the beauty here.

great !!

Do we upload images to the group. When I saw your entry I just loaded some seascapes up onto my site- but there are many more than one

Fantastic Mel, this is the way to do it,
Seascapes is a literal catagory.. Will join when I get one done. WTG Love and Good Luck Charlene

Good to see such excellent uploads to the group! Welcome to all our new members!
I’ve opened up a forum message board, if anyone feels they would like to offer their suggestions etc in there, then it can be shared with all the members.

I was wondering if “Wish you where here…” was good enough to go into the group artwork. I absolutley adore seascapes, as I’m sure you’ve noticed by all of yours I’ve added to my favorites. So, if none of mine are good enough I won’t be offended, I just enjoy joining in on the viewing!

Top stuff Mel.

I hope you will like my work (Irene)

are rivers and waterfalls “welcome” here?

yes indeed, Cornelia!

Mel, I have just joined the group and in my enthusiasm have accidentally posted two photos in one day.

Sorry about this – I will be more careful in the future.

PS – Fantastic group!

Am I right in thinking only photo’s are allowed.

AV

all art, David….not just photos.

Are water related paintings welcome here? Or is it photo’s only?
Much Happiness
Nicole

its my favorite topic.

hello
I have lots of pictures that could go in this group, but since there is only one upload a day, does this apply to writing also, or can we include one picture and one piece of writing related to the sea?
thanks in advance

Mel
Many thanks for the features spot :-)

This looks like a great place so thinking of joining. Not quite sure what’s meant by ”# One upload a day only # Five photos per member only”..... but I’m sure you’ll fill me in :) :) Thanks Mel.

Hello ;)

Aloha Mel, do you suppose you could change the limitations on the number of entries? It would be so much better if you could change the group settings to unlimited art. Then you could also monitor the entries and permit only those images you enjoy the most and it would not restrict me, and others like me, from adding my images to this group. I live on Maui and have thousands of beautiful images and would like to include my very best in Seascapes.

Thank you so much for your consideration. I wish you a bright and beautiful day!

Aloha,

Sharon

Oh je, it will be so tedious, but okay. I’ll do my best to participate. Mahalo Mel

1 per day, 5 max is stupid

you nneed help, get another moderator, i have left, i could upload 10 every day! no offence mel i like you.

i can understand that, but lots of groups are unlimited, like landscape, and others, so how can they do it?

It’s just too easy to let the group fill up with hundreds and hundreds of pages, but seriously, how on earth is anyone supposed to find anything….most people will just go back 3 or 4 pages at most….I don’t see the point in letting the group fill up, just because we all have more than 5 seascape shots. What we need to do is find our 5 BEST seascape shots….and not upload autumn leaves and dewdrops….I have enough to do just cleaning out the NON seascape shots! Anyway, I’m off out….if you come up with a solution on how to make a group of 10,000 images workable, let me know matey :)

Mel, stick to your guns, five pics per person is plenty, and forces us to think about which are indeed the best. In your original post one of your dot points is “If you’d like critique, please ask”. What is the best way of asking – posting a comment on your own photo, posting here, ...?

Thanks Mel, these scapes form part of my passion for Mother Earth! I look forward to sharing with you!

Being a member of this group I felt I needed to post this.

NOTICE: TAKING A MEDICAL BREAK. I have been ill for several months and at this time it seems I cannot keep up with the pace.
I CAN’T WAIT TO GET BACK INTO THE SWING OF THINGS.
Love,
June

Hi All i left and rejoined to clean out my old work, I am happy for any one to critique my work i am trying to do pannos now for my seascapes Cheers Mick

One day long ago books to me to many places real and imagined. Now the awesome works on RB take me to many places real, and at one time most visited only in my imagination…thank you to all for sharing these wonderful places..
