How to post pictures on Managing Wholes


Looking for our tutorial on web pictures? For our photo gallery? For pictures of reversing desertification?

Topics


Thank you for your interest in posting pictures on Managing Wholes. Your projects or photos may be just what someone else needs.

What to post

We get visitors from all over the world. Some may never have seen solutions that are common knowledge in your region. Do you know something of value to beginners? Have you learned or observed something that might help others solve problems or make projects succeed? Please post it here!

We are especially interested in photos that show

  • People managing holistically, and the projects they manage
  • Ecosystem function and dysfunction (desertification, dust storms, healthy wild herds...)
  • Land restoration projects — both successes and failures are valuable to others
  • Anything related to our major topic areas
  • Technologies and techniques that can help holistic managers succeed (durable fences, how to build water tanks inexpensively, better scheduling charts...)

Check our photo gallery (top menu) and article pages for examples.

Copyright

Please post only pictures you took, or pictures you have permission to put on this site. If you want to post someone else's pictures, get permission first.

Many government agencies provide free pictures to the public. We are happy to have those here.

Posting pictures here does not change their copyright. The copyright holder (usually the person who took the picture) still owns the rights. We will remove pictures from the site if the copyright owner asks us to.

Posting your pictures

We can receive files up to about 2 MB via email. We can receive larger uploaded files via special arrangement. Contact us for to make arrangements.

We can also scan and return prints.

Use TIFF or JPEG format for photos. Use GIF, TIFF, or EPS for line art (drawings and diagrams).

TIFFs give the best image quality for photos. However, if your scanner or digital camera outputs JPEGs, send those; conversion to TIFF will not improve their quality. Changing a TIFF to a JPEG decreases image quality.

Caption your pictures by using italic text after the picture. We like captions that say where the photo was taken, who took it, and when. How does the date relate to the local wet, dry, cool, or warm season? What do we see, and why is it significant? Be specific; we get visitors from all over the world. Example:
