Looking towards Wales.

[JohnP]

This shot was taken from almost the same spot on Ragged Stone Hill, Malvern Hills as my previous post, I just turn around 180 deg and looked towards Wales.

 

 

Larger... if the link works that is. https://www.dropbox.com/s/4zx2yd2eakf32kw/View%20from%20the%20Malvern%20Hills%204.jpg

That is a fabulous viewpoint you've found there.

Bugs... did the link to the large version work OK? Maybe someone could let me know if Bugs doesn't come back.

Beautiful view, John, especially when viewed large on here.

 

(Just tried the link and it didn't display, came up as 'forbidden'.)

I've had this trouble before, I can use the link and see the image full size and no one else on here can.

The link worked for me, bringing up a large image courtesy of dropbox

Same here. Dropbox public links are supposed to work for everyone whether they have D/box or not. Perhaps it's an Aussie thing?

 It would be a bit bleak in winter Heather!  The only way to get there is to walk.  I love it there, it's my favourite part of the Malvern Hills, not many people go there so it's usually free from screaming kids and barking dogs... great.

Heather... I have previously had problems on here when linking to Dropbox but it seems OK now. I don't know whether it will be the same on your computer, when viewing the Dropbox image the mouse cursor is a '+' (zoom) but it blows the image up to large, I then use the control key and the mouse wheel and I can adjust so the image just fills the screen. I've no idea why that should be but you do get a much better image than the one shown on the forum. It's a shame it doesn't just show the large image without having to mess about zooming in and out.

Unfortunately that didn't work with me (Maybe it's a Mac thing). However, if DID work (after a fashion) without using the + zoom thing, by zooming the entire screen so the small unzoomed image filled the entire width of the screen. Unfortunately, being the smaller of the two images to begin with, zooming the screen meant an unavoidable loss of quality when it was 'zoomed'. Like you, I do wonder why the + zoom button doesn't just calculate the size of your display and then fill your screen.

The thing that annoys the c**p out of me about Dropbox is, when you are  logged in and viewing your own images there is a tool bottom right (three dots), click on this and you get two options... download & view original. Why can't you just send the link to the original image, if you do this it comes up at the receiver end as forbidden. When you use the share link to photo the person who you are sending the link to will only see a reduced image not the full size image. When showing landscapes on this forum (or any other) at 1024 pixels the image is terrible, most other type of images are passable, it's landscapes that suffer the most from downsizing. The whole idea of posting a link to Dropbox is to try and show a landscape image full size and it doesn't work how I want so I won't bother again.
