25 Dec 11 - Hi Folks and welcome to the Square Australia group, there is something so satisfying about the square image so please join and add your square format images just from Oz.
Please don't take it personally when your non-square images, and /or not taken in Australia, are deleted without notice. It's especially important that admins and moderators check their images for squareness, or they'll just look silly, unhip and uncool...

About Square Australia

This group is set up to showcase square format photographs taken in Australia.

Please include in your tags:
* Australia
* Square
* Format
* Location name and / or add to the map
* "You're so square" or "Baby, I don't care" are optional

A SQUARE photograph is just that ... rectangles that are nearly square do not qualify!
Where a photograph is bounded by a frame or border, both the photograph and the border must be square.

Square format film and digital crops are OK, we're being inclusive here!

Square format Through the Viewfinder is fine but see the border note above.

To allow for re-sizing errors we allow Medium Size images (500 x 500 pixels) an error of 3 pixels along one side.

Please ensure that photographs posted to the pool fit this definition. We set out to have a pool that is consistently Square both in format and when viewed on a Flickr page. Images that are not Square stand out like a tick on a blue tongue lizard!

Second request ... If you're posting a Square image on a white or light coloured background, please consider adding a fine line/border to define the edge of the overall image. That way it won't be mistaken for a non-Square image and deleted!

Thanks to Square Scotland for starting us off www.flickr.com/groups/square_scotland/

If you wish, you may copy/paste the following when commenting on photos in the group pool:
===============

Hey, this is square but cool!
Seen in - www.flickr.com/groups/square_australia/

===============

With an image it's:
=================

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/merryjack/4890441464/" title="Blue Door, Surry Hills by Merryjack, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4079/4890441464_c7e995bf7e_s.jpg" width="75" height="75" alt="Blue Door, Surry Hills" /></a>

==================

Which looks like:
===================
Blue Door, Surry Hills

=====================

And to invite a photo:
===============

Please join us and add this "so square" but cool photo to www.flickr.com/groups/square_australia/

Members are welcome to contribute fancy coded comments with embeded images, others may dislike graphic or even my Hipster comments, it's whatever turns you on, or not as the case may be.

So let's get square and have some fun!

And remember:
"I don't know why my heart flips.
I only know it does.
I wonder why I love you, baby.
I guess it's just because
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care."
(Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)

Many thanks!
Jack
