Greeting Pipe Pickers

[dante]

Dante. London UK and Michigan USA. Peterson 80S Spigot. Latakia lover. Picked up again about 6 months ago but had a cob on and off for years. Dad used to smoke a pipe. Will probably lurk a while. i like black and I've never tried Mixture 79. Looking for some information specifically to identify a couple of pipes I own. Keep em lit. d

Welcome and do you always write in Haiku style?

Dante. Meet you nice to. Nathan, or Crash. Welcomes you warmly to the forums. Hopes to see you get some answers. Looks forward to pictures of said pipes.

 

[ashdigger]

Images. Not rocket science, but steps advised:
Once your photos are on a photo hosting site (such as Imgur.com; Postimage; Dropbox, etc. Photobucket), or on virtually any site, (including this site's album) such as eBay, Amazon, you-name-it, select the full sized image, then Control-click (Mac) or Right-click (Windows) on the image itself, then choose "copy image location" or similar words. Now paste that URL (the full web address, which should end in .jpg or .png) into the IMG box in the reply window of the thread you're posting to.
The site's album is also a good choice for displaying photos, and the same method works for obtaining the image's URL for copying into the IMG box.
And to the forum, welcome!

To the forums, welcome you are! It's either haiku or he's a secret jedi that trained with Yoda back in the day.

Thanks guys. I will take some close up photos and and post them in the next few days. If I can just find the macro lens for my phone. Grateful I am.

Welcome aboard. Been to London twice, and camped for a while at the old family summer farm in Holton, Mich., east of Muskegon. Coldest crick I've ever experienced.

 

[dante]

Ha yeah I'm heading there for a month over Christmas and New Year. This will be my first winter there. I think I'm in for a shock. Meanwhile London is just damp and grey.

 

[mikethompson]

Dante welcome to the forums! Lots of good info here and a few good guys as well. Yeah Bill, I'm throwing you in there too.

If you can't locate your macro lens, most recent phones are capable of fine close ups. Just shoot far enough away so it's in focus and then crop in post.

Thanks Mike
Thanks jpmcwjr. Found it. Figured out how to get the pictures up and got a very swift answer to my question.
