 WebAperture FAQ General Questions
- What is WebAperture?
WebAperture is a forum-like website for photographers (amateurs as well as professionals) to showcase their photos on the Internet and gather comments and criticisms on it.
It's also a place to show off our photos. What can I say, we're shameless ;-)
- Who created and maintains WebAperture?
This site is created by
Eugene Khoo and
Jeffrey Chok.
It is hosted on JTLNet but we are the ones who build and maintain it.
- Do you get paid running WebAperture?
Nope, WebAperture runs on a Pure-Loss Model. True business people would be wondering if we're mentally sound, which I assure you we are (I think).
- Do I need to pay money to upload my photos?
No. WebAperture is completely free (unlike some other things)! All you need to do is sign up and you'll get a set quota of photos to upload.
- What is Quokka?
The Quokka is WebAperture's mascot. This marsupial lives on Rottnest Island just off the coast near Perth, Australia. It's probably found elsewhere too but we saw it there first.
I could give you a description of what's a quokka, but I will not, better you go to
Rottnest Island's Quokka Page to find out more.
- How do I get my portrait in? / How do I get that little picture icon next to my name when I make a comment on a photo?
