When you write a post or a reply, beneath the white text box there's the sentence "Click here to upload" (between the text box and the OK/Preview/Cancel buttons, on the left hand side). Click on that sentence.
Another window will pop up saying "Select a file to download". Click on the button "Choose file" on the left hand side and then select the file from your computer. Once you've selected the file, click "OK" to close the pop-up window.
There are some limits on file size, so if the image files are too large they won't upload correctly and you'll get an error message. You can also check the box "Embed picture in post" beneath the post you're writing so that the image will appear in your post (otherwise it only shows up as a clickable link towards the image, but the image itself won't be in your post).
Gracias, but now it says the imagen is too large, which is tontería. No pasa nada.
Happens because your camera produces a file too big these days since the days Foro was created. I always edit my photos before trying to upload them here, simply reduce the quality or physical size. Another trick I have found is that places like Facebook automatically reduce quality so I can load to facebook then resave their version to my computer or device and upload that new version up here.
The abaníco de mastiles which I mounted for my CD de José Millán is the foto. Since guitarras are identified by the diseño de su cabeza, I thought it would be interesting to see if anybody could identify all of the guitars. Premio being a copy of the CD
But ordenadores make everything complicated and I have better things to do
2. Upload your image. You will get a direct link to it (choose BBC code with thumbnail link).
3. Post the link here.
Example (click on the thumbnail to get the full photo which is hosted outside the forum on imgbb; the photo itself is 18.2 MB in size, 6000 by 4000 pixels):

Seems that nobody has either knowledge nor interest in the quiz. I imagine that you can identify most. If not I can identiry them for you in a private post.
The Conde is of course obvious. The next two clockwise seem to be Gerundino and Reyes, the horizontal one on the right has the headstock of an early 20th century Ramirez. I say "seem to be" since the photos are not very detailed.
Agreed. And I'm going Domingo Esteso for the far left. Second in on each side are the trickiest imho. Second in from the left looks very old school with the faded neck - maybe a vintage Barbero? Least sure above second in from the right. The headstock looks a bit like a Bernal but I'm guessing not

The lighting-or lack of it-throws me off, but you may be close on the Barbero theory. Santos Hernandez, Barbero and Arcangel Fernandez made very similar headstocks, mirroring their relationship.
On the right is José Ramirez, on the left is his brother Manuel. At least, that is what the labels say.
Manuel used a variety of headstock designs, perhaps according to the price level. Now that it is pointed out, the one in the quiz is consistent with Segovia's guitar, but the flat lighting and low resolution of the photo make it hard to tell--not saying that I would necessarily have picked it out in a clearer image.
The Casa Aramburu is a famous Casa Palacio on the corner of Plaza San Antonio. The family Aramburu was reduced to two elderly sisters, who decided to sell up. On clearing the house they found these 2 Ramirez guitars. Since my friend Rafael had his taller in a neighbouring street, they asked him if he could prepare them for sale. So we went to the house, collected the guitars.
When they were cleaned and properly setup, they were surprising easy and comfortable to play, with decent volume: they could be used, even today, on stage to accompany cante.
I took advantage of the moment to photograph the mastiles for my abanico
The style on left was used by Manuel Ramirez but also Domingo esteso and subsequently Conde Hermanos. The one far right was used by jose Ramirez 1 and 2 both. So dates are important for that one.
It would help if you knew how to actually take photographs that could be read.
First off, the silhouettes are difficult to see, that could be fixed by a light background- second, there is zero fill light on the face of the headstock, so the combo of no fill light and a murky silhouette, with the small size of the image, well it’s not a very good photo.
I don´t have an ¡phone and have no intention of getting one. This foto is a copy, kindly made by Ricardo which does not have the definition of the original.
This was a quiz, not a photographic competition. The easy ones are identified and nobody can identify the rest.
You remind me of Manuel Reyes, who, when I returned a guitar made by his son for various serious defects, came out to defend el hijo with a series of preposterous lies.
free hooker and crate of rioja as first prize winner
If she looks just like Penelope Cruz ok, otherwise I think the CD is a better prize!
And folks complaining about the photo details don’t know how to read I guess?
FILE SIZE TOO DAMN BIG....it had to be reduced to load here, and it actually makes the game more challenging but certainly not impossible. And...folks...you CAN zoom in on the head stocks if you’ve lost your readers.
