First new vert pics since the meltdown? It's been what... almost 2 weeks? What's new folks?



Can only get better from here, right?

 

I got a new Sony 4.1 MP camera, still not as sharp a cam as I'd love to own, but seems feature laden at the least. I uploaded one LAST picture to my AOL homepage space...it ran out. The pics are big, even resized and cropped, over 100kb.
I'll fiddle tell I get the right link...went to a new page...one pic!!

Here we go,
I resized it after getting it selected, The rust is what bothers me too, but I have debts. Was asking about welding new rear quarters if they are mated below the wing.
This is an example of WHAT NOT to do with your F car hehe

Hurry!

 

Wow... that is what I call service. hehehe

 

Didn't expect you on at the same time.
The repairs are particular to my top and the leaking manifod/gaskets for now, but rest assured, I'm looking to restore as much as possible in the years ahead, including the worn cloth seats. I had eBay deals fall through on stuff like seats and a fender as well.

 

set the CAMERA to the lowest possible setting....typically 640x480 or lowest dpi (dots per inch) and the lowest quality.

It should come in under the 105K limit.....you don't need better than that unless you are wanting to print an 8x10 color glossy photo

 

Dude, I want 35mm quality, that's why the major upgrade investment, when you upload, it loses some anyway. I like smaller size, but super sharp details

BillSpeed,

When you take a picture the first question you should ask yourself before you ever trip the shutter is "why am I taking this picture." Clarifying your thoughts and intentions helps to get the composition right. The Second question you should ask is "how am I going to display this image?" If you are going to print the image then by all means shoot at the highest resolution and image size you can wring out of your camera. BUT, if you are taking the picture to display on a computer screen then you are wasting your time with the high resolution stuff. The highest resolution that can be displayed by a computer screen is 72dpi. Anything beyond that is wasted space on your hard drive, on the web server, and wasted bandwidth in the uploade by you and download by the people viewing it. Your computer simply cannot display all that extra data!

Ok, I'm an old school 35 mm camera user with a Kodak Retina my dad picked up for me, I had to shoot photos from a camcorder and then USB link them to PC with the Dazzle* Digital Photo Maker that hooks up NTSC video to snapshot form, after that a Concord Mini eye-Q was used, then upgraded to a eBay bought Concord eye-Q with 1.3MP. Most of all the shots until my new Sony were one or the other. I save one type of pic that is edited to save on the HDD. I do print them, but only save one of each pic, so it has to be re-edited down to size for Internet application. The Sony allows 4 different size settings and two quality modes. I'll be playing with these to find good results. That option on a cheapie camera is not found, or limited
