Please, LEGO fans, use your brain before uploading stuff online!

Your request may not be heard. Most of the people uploading such junk,
whether it’s out of focus, poorly lit, too low or too high resolution
pictures are mostly kids who don’t read Lugnet...it might be better if you
posted this on BZ Power or wherever they congregate.

I notice a number of sample “bad” images are Bionicle-related, not surprising
given the number of BZPower members using Brickshelf. This is an ongoing
education issue for BZP, and one that we are constantly trying to educate the
younger Brickshelf users about. There are several photography and posting
tutorials at BZP, but they’re not always used. There’s a fair amount of churn at
BZP, so education will always be an ongoing process.
This will likely continue to be an issue for AFOLs looking for more polished
Brickshelf content. I don’t see the number of poorly-lit, fuzzy, oversized BMPs
decreasing anytime soon.
Having said that, would anyone (perhaps Holger) be interested in creating a
tutorial for publication on LEGOFan? There are some great tips in this thread.

Hi Kelly,
I do not say that there are only BZPower “kids” uploading problematic pics at
brickshelf. I know a huge number of AFOL galleries (ok, the content seems to be
build by an AFOL) which could be improved.
I am not that familiar with legofan.org but I managed to post this:
http://www.legofan.org/DotNetNuke/Discussion/LFForums/tabid/142/forumid/3/postid/266/view/topic/Default.aspx
I also converted my former posting form lugnet with tips and tricks into a PDF.
I needed I could expand this with some more examples. But feel free to use this
PDF tutorial to discuss as BZPower.

But afterall: We should not forget the fun we all have with the Danish plastic
product :-

No, that was my fault. I implied that. Sorry Holger.

I would’ve thought the most logical place to put an article about how best to
upload pictures to Brickshelf, would be on the front page of Brickshelf itself.
May I suggest to Holger that he emails a cut down version of the post at the top
of this branch to Kevin. If most of the work is done for him, I’m sure he’d be
happy to add it. Failing that, as historically, Kevin hasn’t been very keen to
answer emails, you could try posting it to the zerostuds forum. Kevin’s sure to
see it there

Agreed. However, I would think if it would ever be there, it would have already
been put up. In my conversations with Kevin from a couple of BrickFests ago, he
indicated a desire to keep text to a minimum and allow the content to be the
main focus. I gather that’s for internationalization. And I would also think
that putting any large amount of “how to take and post decent pictures” might
also scare some people off; they might get the impression that good photography
or image manipulation/resizing on their part is mandatory.
