+BornAdventures Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hi There, One of our favorite segments to geocaching is taking photographs and browsing other geocachers profiles to take a look a the recent additions to their galleries. Now we've created a photography group on the photosharing website, Flickr, for everyone to post their favorite Geocaching and Waymarking pictures in all their Hi-res glory. The link to the group is http://www.flickr.com/groups/geosouthafrica/. Hopefully the group will also spark some interest in Geocaching in the Photographing community. Registration only takes a minute and is free. Some of our Faves from the group: Quote Link to comment
+The Huskies Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 We got so much photo's. Here are a few. http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb232/T...kiesZA/Croc.jpg Quote Link to comment
+BornAdventures Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks Huskies, Please would you consider adding your South African Geocaching pictures through to the group. The group has already converted one photographing muggle to give geocaching a go and I'm sure with more interesting photo's, we can get even more people to try geocaching. Quote Link to comment
+vespax Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Cool. Just got myself a fancy new digital camera this week, so I am keen to take to pics while geocaching. Might even have to leave the house and grab the thousand or so outside my parents house! Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 You open to non South Africans donating to the cause? Quote Link to comment
+BornAdventures Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Yes, we would love for non South-Africans to join the group, as long as the photo's that are submitted are taken while Geocaching or Waymarking in South Africa, or if you find something relating to South Africa in another country we would also love to have the photo included in the group.

+webscouter. Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Haven't had the opportunity to cache in South Africa so I will just wait. Maybe someday. Quote Link to comment
+LeonW Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) Oooh Vespax, a digital camera is so coool. Just click away and discard later what is no good, no hassles with photo labs. Image stabilization etc. , enjoy the new addiction. Edited September 3, 2007 by LeonW Quote Link to comment

Hi webscouter, There are a few other Geocaching groups on Flickr, the main, non-regional, group can be found at http://www.flickr.com/groups/geocaching/. If you're looking for a more specific group try this link, groups have been created for the UK, Montana, Pensylvania, Denmark and many more. I'm sure you will be able to find a group to join. Also take a look at the Waymarking group, it only has 25 odd members, but we're all very active and September 1st was the beginning of our first ever Monthly Photo Scavenger Hunt. Still, please join the SA group, if you ever stumble upon a Travel Bug from our beautiful country we would love to see it make an appearance in our pool. Keep Well, TeamTGF. Quote Link to comment

+LeonW Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Hi Vespax. An addiction with file sizes of 70+megs for RAW, I also need to join a Photoshop forum group just to learn the "tricks". Know of any PS forums? One just have to go and drop off some geocoins in those beautiful but already found caches, for the view! Quote Link to comment

Hi Leon, There are many tutorials on the web for Photoshop and the other photo editing software, do a search on Google and it will return thousands of results. If you don't have a copy of Photoshop and want a good Freeware program, try using The GIMP, I also have a copy of photoshop, but I've found The GIMP to be easier to use and is regulary updated. Here's a link to the Photoshop Support Group, which has a very active forum expaining some of the photoshop techniques. Quote Link to comment
+LeonW Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) Thanks TGF, I will look the support group up soon. Now where can I find another 4 hours to the time of day? Been to that support group, better make it 6 hours per day needed. Edited September 4, 2007 by LeonW Quote Link to comment

If you want to waste a few more hours every day, take a look at Photojojo, it's a free photographing newsletter which usually comes out once a week. Quote Link to comment
