📸 Photos, Albums & Contests
Uploads, albums, photo contests, and photography clubs.
Uploading
- Attach photos to posts, or manage them under
My Photos.
- Every image is re-encoded on upload: hidden camera
metadata (including GPS location) is stripped, and the photo is
converted to the modern WebP format — same look,
roughly a third smaller, faster for everyone on slow
connections.
- PNG and JPEG both work as input; large images are resized to a
sensible maximum.
Albums
Organize photos into shared albums — a trip, a
party, a pet's greatest hits — and friends can browse them from your
profile.
Photo contests
- Any member can host a contest around a
theme. Contests run in three phases: open (one entry
per member — you can swap or withdraw yours),
voting (one vote each, changeable, never for your
own entry), and closed (most votes wins the 🏆).
- The host advances the phases, so every contest moves at its host's
pace.
Photo of the Day
Each day, the best-voted contest photo becomes the site-wide
Photo of the Day. No committee — your votes in
contests are the votes that count.
Photography clubs 🎞️
- Join or start a photography club to
share camera tips: a technique note, an example
photo, and the settings it was shot at.
- Upload the example photo and the settings chips fill in
by themselves — camera, lens, f-stop, shutter, ISO, focal
length are read from the picture and shown to you first, to edit or
clear. Your location is never read; as everywhere
on MyHealthcare Social, it's stripped from the photo before saving.
- Mark good tips 💡 helpful, talk shop in the
darkroom chat, and the club owner can open an audio
lounge.
