It because your using a page url and your using img tags

You need to use

Code: 
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4075/4913810412_8a429e2bd9_b.jpg
With img tags
 
Same thing I had Mike.

To sort it.... when in Flickr go to sharing and don't grab the link like you were used to doing but ask for the html code

Then you need to copy just the bit that says http://farm.static.flickr.com/imagenumber.jpg

it's just that little section of code you need to paste into TP for us to see your pics.

HTH

Or Sharing Grab the HTML/BBCode and check the BB Code box and copy and paste that code in your post

Theres no need to use image tags anymore, flickr have made it simple, so simple even I can do it :)

Go to the photo you want to share, top left of the photo is a couple of pull down menus. Click 'Share this' in the pull down choose the the option 'Grab the HTML/BBcode' click the BBCode button choose the size you want and copy the resulting code. Paste that directly into your post and the picture will appear :thumbs:

i,m only joking chris,but what i found was the flash seemed to bounce off the flowers leaving them blown, and when i adjusted the power of the flash it just made the suroundings darker. but the flowers were still blown see flickr shot 2.


roses 2 by Mike Rockey, on Flickr
 
hmmmmm stick the camera on manual and drop the flash power to the lowest possible, then go for a longer exposure/low iso and you should be able to get all of the flower in

damn i was shooting in aperture priority, odd as ive been shooting manual since the begining of the year after reading understanding exposure by bryan peterson.:thumbs: off to have a go in manual back soon will post an image shortly

make sure you use a tripod a hi F stop (around 11-16) and you should get a decent image if its dark (theres a few flower images on my flickr (page 5)) exif should be on those if your stuck

Hi

Try just using natural window day light you wont need a flash then, move them close to a window, use AV, set your aperture say f8, place them quite a distance from you BG then you get nice Dof, take it your using a tripod and cable release, also I would go for a single rose rather than a bunch, also the red BG isnt helping try black or white

number 2 and 3 are bang on, the only issue really is the red backdrop, you could do with a black one to make the red flowers really pop, but there 100% better than the blown reds from before :)

yeah the red backdrop is the living room curtains i just wanted a single colour so put them up against there cheers they defo look better these are straight out of the camera no edits thanks for your help chris

bit difficult this time of night steve:D but i,ll give it a go tommorow:thumbs:

thanks to all for your help:thankyou:
 
Mike

Thanks :thumbs:

Yep day light at night not a good idea LOL and as said go for a single rose,and the red BGs not helping, if your using a tripod/cable release it dont matter how long the shutters open

you could just light it from a single desk light, take a shot, then use that as a custom WB and take another shot
 
Forgot to say make sure the light isnt hitting the BG just the flower, eg pointing away from the bg, but not into your lens
