Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM (II)

Shot at Olympic Park London 2014

Can anyone help me and explain why the image quality of this URL link from Flickr is not near the quality of the real image on my Flickr. Others on this forum look much sharper on the thread. It has taken me ages to find out how to upload a link from Flickr and it is a poor representation of the image. Help !!!!!!

Your image seems to be attached and not a flickr bbcode pasted link?

Sorry xpfloyd but I am unfamiliar with a lot of the tech terms. Have I messed up then ? Does an image appear and is it bad quality ? If you click on it does it take you to my flickr page like others I have looked at do?

I'll see if I can be Eddie to the answer…

Yes, an image has appeared. No, it does not look bad.
1. Open you flickr page
2. click on a photo you want to share
3. Click on the little arrow that is pointing to the right (a "share arrow") on bottom right of the photo page
4. This opens a little box…select "BB code"
5. Select the size you want to share (Most shots shared normal orientation are "large 1024x638")
6. Copy/paste that link to a post here on potn.
7. Wait for all the awesome comments to start rollin' in!!

Now, to submit reply and see if I beat Eddie to answering your question!

^^What Cory said

PS the one I can see just now looks fine though

Thanks IDSurfer and xpfloyd for your help again. Unfortunately though I have to choose the lowest medium size (500 x 310). When selecting the BBCode I then have to highlight only the middle section of the URL line which shows the farm8 staticflickr wording. Flickr certainly don't make it easy for us do they ??

^^^ It's still coming up as an attached image rather than a Flickr link.

Quick search found me this - http://www.youtube.com​/watch?v=0zI57yo2Yh4

It's the older layout of Flickr but the method is the same except at 13 & 35 seconds you now have to click the curved, right pointing arrow [Bottom right of your image]

yes, just choose a bigger size on flickr now (the box directly above the one you cut the text out). I clicked on your flickr there and noticed you put your full res version there. Normally I resize my flickr version of the image to 1280 max on the long side (POTN limit), its not critical but uploading your full res version means people could take it if they wanted to

Thanks guys for all of your help, really appreciate it, and thanks again xpfloyd for your advice, I still have a lot to learn re Flickr and forum sites.
