New to Forza, trying to find a decent free file host besides flickr. This one works sort of, only uploads some of the pics. Some are too large in PNG format i guess.

Couple of tips: when you take a photo in game, choose the option to share it. It’ll upload it to the Forza servers and you can download it either from the website or the Forza Hub app. If you do that you won’t have the ‘[Esc] Back’ in the bottom right corner.

For free hosting sites, Flickr is usually recommended around here because it’s basically the best one, but for alternatives you can use photobucket (pretty good but have been known to wash out colours with their compression techniques in the past) or even just use imgur.

As for your photos, they’re a nice start! You’d get a sharper image with a shorter shutter speed, and the highlights in a couple of the night shots are a bit blown out - taking photos at night is much trickier to get a natural lighting. I really like the composition of the second shot, and the first and fifth shots really convey the action nicely.

Thank you sir, I’ll take any advice I can get.

Forzatography is a neat feature to the game though I must say-distractingly so sometimes.

So far I like to do the photography when I get burned out losing on the track.

Thanks again, I’ll see if I can get better at it (along with my driving).

I personally use imgur.com You don’t have to have an account if you don’t want. You can publish or not publish pictures and still share links with everyone. No ads and its really easy to use. Just remember when you posting an image in a forum to use the DIRECT LINK of the picture. Example how the albums look Imgur: The magic of the Internet Your Driver Record is where you’ll find your gallery and you can go back to save and share images.

I appreciate the imgur link,.

Looks clean and uncluttered as well, nice. (I Like that 3 wide racing shot and the McLaren as well, nice!)

I’ll give it a shot when I get some more time/pics worth posting,

Thanks XJ

No problem man. Enjoy and keep practicing. If you have a facebook account look up Forza Showrooms and Forza Racing Network. Good people there and lots of good ideas for pics

I personally like to use Flickr. It’s very quick and simple to use and it gives you the BBcode to post to forums if you’re not super forum savvy.
