Suggestion for a Kilt Photo Gallery
a suggestion
would it be of interest to the users of this forum to have a section on the show us your pictures board which was specifically to display photos of tartan kilts? with some simple guidelines (i hate to use the word rules), there could be established a universal shot or shots for members' kilts that would provide a one stop destination for users to get a good look at what might be a rare, hard to find tartan. currently one can enter a tartan name into the search feature and dig through old posts in an attempt to get a good illustration of the tartan in question, but a gallery of just members' kilts would be a massive time saver and an impressive visual resource. most tartan finders out there on the web just show swatches or computer generated swatches. it would also be visually informative in terms of kilt and pleat style.
for example, the guidelines could be as simple as:
post title: tartan name (and number if available)
post description: tartan name and number, kilt/pleat style, and if the poster wants to add, kilt maker's name, kilt yardage and weight, and tartan mill if known.
photos:
1. front/apron shot (from just below the knees to just above the waistline)
2. rear/pleats shot (from just below the knees to just above the waistline)
3. elevated foot/fanned pleat shot
the only complication that immediately springs to mind is perhaps the quality of photos and lighting therein. otherwise, as stated above, i think this would be an incredible resource for the users.
forgive me if this is already somehow being implemented and i have missed it, or if it has been suggested or tried in the past. humbly submitted.
