Number of swap partners:2
Description:

For this swap, take 2-4 photos of something that starts with the letter A, for your partners to guess what did you shoot. It could be just a detail shown - but not a busy picture as for "I spy". It may be easier or harder to guess, but don't make it impossible. For example, if you photograph your beagle Spotty, then you can use it as Animal for A, Pet for P, Dog for D or Beagle for B, but don't use it as Spotty for S, because how would your partner know what your dog's name was? You can let your partner guess nouns like Dog, adjectives like Brown or even actions like Digging.

The photos must be taken by yourself. They may be old photos that you took years ago.

After you have taken your photos, let's think about presentation. Do not send several huge files to your partners, but rather, make a nice collage out of them (for example using piZap - try it out, really easy!) and send this one picture file by e-mail (using BCC) to your partners. Don't forget to mention the name of swap and your swap-bot username in e-mail body!

When you receive swap from your partner, please take time to check out the photos, puzzle what could have been the words your partner tried to convey, and rate your partner guessing the words in your rating comment. When you receive a rating like this, respond by telling whether the guess was correct. You don't have to write a novel - "Apple, ant, anchor?"-"Yes!" is enough; but do guess, or what for did your partner struggle hunting these pictures if you won't?? Keep in mind that a picture may have more than one correct answer either accidentally or by design - so if you want to point out your alternative, you can answer "I meant Dalmatian, but Dog works, too!", or "Yes, and not just a Dog, but a Digging Dog!".

You mean that collage thing? Click on the link HERE (it is also in swap text, but somewhat hidden), and choose a layout. If you have two photos, choose a layout for two, if three, then for three... and so on. Now click at any "add photo +", then at "Computer", and then choose a photo from your computer. That photo will be stuffed into the place you clicked on in the start. Repeat with other places, until you have a photo for each place. You can delete or edit them if you wish, if you got a wrong photo or want to put it in another place.

Well, first you need to get your photos from your phone or camera into computer. But you can also take them from your FaceBook, Instagram, Cloud, or just make a selfie.

And when you have it the way you like, click at "SAVE" and save it to your computer and then you can attach it to your e-mail.

If I forgot something or just didn't explain clearly enough, ask again! I really wouldn't want anybody having to miss the swap because I suck at explaining.

For example under editing photos (a blue button on photo) you can also rotate the photos if they didn't come upright from your camera.
