[TN-Butterflies] Re: Fentress Co. Meadow Frit. BAMONA

We do have some storage space for TN-Butterflies so as long as most members are 
using a photo sharing site, if we get a few attachments it won't cause a 
problem. It was the large number of BAMONA record photos that was causing the 
problem.

I've been sending my photos as attachments, but will stop if it uses up space 
in 
the Archives. I guess I was sending attachments because I don't have a website 
where mine can be viewed. I usually shoot in high res, so to post them online 
(so it doesn't take forever to load them), I have to downsize them 
considerably, 
which takes too much time unless see something unusual, funny, etc. Then I 
watermark everything I put online, which takes more time.

I just read people's posts mainly. If I see a species on there that I would 
really like to see for myself, I don't really need a photo, but date, time and 
location. If I know that the species is flying, I can look for it myself in the 
field.

I think it is an individual choice if someone wants to send their photos just 
to 
the BAMONA administrator for verification of a county record or to the TN-Butt 
group as a whole. Some may feel that they are new to butterflying and don't 
want 
their opinions scrutinized as to what the species is.  BAMONA and 
TN-Butterflies 
are really two separate entities with overlapping interests.

I actually have learned quite a few good tips on here. I hope those who are 
comfortable with sharing photos and expertise will continue to take time to do 
so. I like hearing the news and seeing field trip reports about who is seeing 
what and where. I will do the same if I think it is something of interest to 
others.
