Word of Mouth - The Crust & Fades Contest

[MJF9]

My keyring is ahead of my jeans!! 

[tooth]

Assuming everyone got a keychain?? If so, hope they’re submitted alongside the jeans when judging comes around.

[MJF9]

Only the jeans are part of the contest and judging.  It's testing my memory but iirc this came with my jeans as they took longer to arrive and I started the contest a few weeks later (which is unimportant as it won't matter in the long run). It's fading in my pocket nicely so I thought to share with the crew. There may be others in circulation, I don't know.

no key ring for me. would have liked that!

[aho]

No key ring for me either, my pair was also missing the flasher 🥲

A better colour comparison with my SC1945

So my workaround to get the last image to post was to create a link in my Google photos and use the web link upload rather than the direct upload. Now that's giving me a red error as well. At this point, I am no longer able to upload any photos at all to the forum either from my phone or from my computer.

That's going to make continuing my updates and participation difficult. Bizarre that this is only happening to me, but it's not isolated to just my computer or just my phone.

this might be a dumb question or something you've already considered, but are your files the right format? JPG? If you're shooting with an iPhone sometimes you can make .heic (the live captures) that get cranky with different applications, but that can be turned off easily.

^^^Could it be some kind of network related 'blocker'? A VPN or something like that?

Right.  Exporting out of the Photos app renders a jpeg image which works here.

@ATWM, they're definitely jpegs. Just double checked. I take photos on a Pixel 6a. I've never had trouble before these past few weeks.

@CSL, I don't use any web privacy stuff (though I know I should). I also thought perhaps it was a browser setting issue, but it's happening on both my computer and phone. I guess I could try a non-Google browser

Yes. Could be that. Not directly related but I had to switch from Safari to Chrome for FB video calls. No idea why it didn't work with Safari.

[Jared_Lee]

Just installed and tried with Microsoft Edge and got the exact same results.

[CSL]

Not an ideal solution but for right now you could email to a moderator to post on your behalf?

Pit stop at Lake Siskiyou on a road trip.

@Jared_Lee what's the file size of your pictures? (Although this shouldn't be a problem when you link them from another host)

[Jared_Lee]

@beautiful_FrEaK, 2.86 mb

Ok, finally got it sorted on the url upload. Sufu just doesn't like the "share" link that Google creates. But if I copy that link, paste in the browser, copy the new url that populates and then use that url, Sufu accepts the image upload.

I've gotten a couple entry level vintage watches recently and this 1961 Hamilton A-600 Automatic is my absolute favorite. I was watching "Queer" and yes, noticed the suits and slacks, but more so noticed the watches. That era had a little bubble to the crystal that I love. So I started hunting through 50s and 60s watches until I came across this one. It was originally gaining four minutes a day. I got it serviced and now it's losing one minute per day. Not bad for an 64 year old watch picked up on the cheap from eBay. WoM jeans visible beneath.

And some more damages

 

[UkeNo]

Just out of a wash. 
 

 

[julian-wolf]

Post wash no. ??

These are starting to look really good

Indirect natural light as usual, ’51 601xx and Foreman Pants for color reference as usual

[beautiful_FrEaK]

No jeans pics. We just spent the afternoon in Überlingen. There was a pottery market. 

The alps are quite well to see. Not much snow on the tops...

@beautiful_FrEaK Bodense - Konstanz lake is always very nice and Ueberlingen part especially. I was there in 2008. Little feeling of see like...
