Why is there a lack of photos in these forums?

It would be cool if there are photos and videos from the festivals.

Like a team photo (Gung Haggis Fat Choy):

Excellent pics.! Problem is most forum trolls (not to be confused with the one and only Forum Troll) do not know how to post pictures.

Posting a photo will be interpreted as self promotion and you will drag a team's name in the mud..welcome to the forum

How to send it

I use www.photobucket.com which gives out html format so you just have to copy the line of code and add. You can do it manually, but you just have to be aware of html format and the url address to your photo.

Self promotion? On www.dragonboatwest.net, both Photag and Lethal Weapon with their nifty mega lenses and oversized hard-drives post it freely. Others just post some photos and hope you will purchase your team's pictures from a commercial site. I guess, in both cases, it is self promotion of some sort.

As for slagging one another, that's expected on a forum. The aforementioned site is semi-moderated, which gets some of the silly stuff off their site. For me, it doesn't really matter as I don't post team pictures of my team. I see them all the time. Besides, other teams that don't have spares seem to appreciate the pix (if they don't get rubbed about it too much).

As for the Gorging Dragons, they are about to make a tight counter-clockwise turn. Left seat 1 is suppose to draw, seat 2 & 3 are poking. Of course it looks better during the turn around the official boat:

Actually the GD picture if just after they had gone off course for the second time and were just trying to get the boat going again WHILE going around a corner. As someone who races against them regularly I can attest to the fact that they have VERY good timing.

These pictures are NOT public domain. Please do not use them on other sites or publications without my expressed permission. Thanks!

Someone's right about the flamers and hence not posting many pix here. However, I also have heard that some people have already searched for pictures and located some of these online, so I figured what the heck, might as well share them with the community since I've been a dragonboater for quite a while and I'm a photojournalism student in my last year.

Too bad most of the time I'm paddling at races and thus don't bring my gear with me or else I'd take more dboat pix.
