First of all, that was nice image, is it pinhole or glass lens one?
 
Thanks. It is a pinhole (of course) taken with the Zero 2000.
 
I have no problem whatsoever with images embedded in messages, my connection to internet if fast enough to handle that. I think it is members who have slow connections that we really need to hear from. I'd imaging that until slow links are not a concern, uploading an image to http://www.pinhole.com/discussion/upload/ <http://www.pinhole.com/discussion/upload/> and adding a hyperlink to that image should be OK, too.
 
The main differences I see is that the upload gallery allows larger files, the mail might be more useful for technical issues - small images that illustrate a point or to get feedback on an exposure/processing problem. But I agree with you that a link works just as well. And using links mean that everyone doesn't have to download and view something they're not interested in.
 
When adding a hyperlink it is necessary to add "http://" before the " www.pinhole.com/....... <http://www.pinhole.com/> ." otherwise it may not be seen as hyperlink by some email application. Also, it'd be nice to get a full URL pointing to the actual image(s), for instance, this is hyperlink URL address for one of Tina's latest zone plate images: http://www.pinhole.com/discussion/upload/images/tina_2.jpg <http://www.pinhole.com/discussion/upload/images/tina_2.jpg>
 
Anyway, I am OK either way.
 
Guillermo
