Thread: Travel trailer talk... Is there a place here for it?

Tweet

Everyone, just so you know, there's a little photoshop action on the side picture as I removed the hitch support from the shot. It's not actually hooked up, but a nice match.

Bob, I 100% agree that yours is front row anywhere. I really love the uniqueness of your travel trailer...Mine may be shinier, but it's not cooler.

.

Brent---while your here----I have some pics of a rod towing a old travel trailer out near Bakersfield Ca after the hot rod reunion but I can't load it because its too big-----I have thousands of photos from shows, races, cruizes, etc and they are mostly all hot rod, racers, road trips but They are too big -------------I don't want to downsize them just so I can post them here and I don't want to do photo bucket, etc--------


How about updating the site so that people with the higher resolution/pixel cameras can upload there pics as they have them----from the downslide in activity recently I think that some of us can add to the level of car stuff and also the tech side of machining and fabrication in the car hobby


Thanks Jerry

Alright guys if you havent figured it out by now... Im a smart ass! Ive got skin thicker than an elephant and 20 years in outside sales, so do I need to say more? LOL Personally I dislike polishing so I dont! Ive had my hands on a few Cobras and I didnt think for a second that trailer was hooked on the back of that beautiful aluminum car!!! Im sure I come across as a sinsitive caring individual who cant admit my trailer is a piece of crap so I wont. By the way Its for sale... how much do I want for it?

Bob, how well do all 3 of you fit in there? That's a no beans for meals deal isn't it? That is a nice camper you have built there. My uncle used to pull a pop up camper with his 40 (which is mine now). Him and my aunt traveled all over like that.

2 are head to toes on the back bunk unless we bring Roberta, then its nose to nose on the back bunk. I get to stretch out on the front bunk that I usually share with my Labador named Lexus. So it sleeps 4 nicely. I could put one more on the floor but I dont let the other Bob's bring their friends... Most of them are bean eating mouth breathers anyway. Yeah, like they have friends? 3 Bobs, a Roberta, and a Lexus gets a bit crowded if anyone wants to move or roll over. but its comfortable.

Jerry, what size do would be sufficient?

Brent


I have a Canon 50d and it is 15 mega pix-------------I buy my chips 10 at a time to have chip per event/trip??


and there are hundreds of cars at events I attend plus some amazing road trip sights----


I love the detail that the camera gets, especially with the machining and fabrication that I do and/or photograph at shows---I'm not up there with Steve Reyes and those guys but I have been at lots of races and photo shoots where I learned things from them---but I will not stand on the top of a 12 foot ladder and hold an Hasselblad upside down above my head to get the ANGLE

Jerry, I don't want to hijack this thread for this, but in the interest of answering your concerns....Believe me when I say that I understand images and photography and not wanting to degrade the quality to put them on the net. That said, I shoot raw only, so I resize most anything that I put on the internet for various reasons. 1. To upload large files on the internet takes time. 2. I don't want my full size images on the net for people to take. 3. Smaller images are easier to send in mail, messaging, etc, etc....My workflow for photos is this: 1. Take a number of pictures. 2. Take my SD card and upload all pics to my laptop. 3. Using Adobe Lightroom, I choose the images I feel best represent an event and my talent. 4. Do any post processing necessary. 5. Export the images at 1200 x 1200 maximum (for internet purposes) at full quality, though 75% is usually still pretty good and lowers the size a lot. 6. Upload the images to wherever. 7. If someone I know wants a high res image, then I will send them one. Keep in mind, that this is a typical workflow for anyone dealing with the internet. Big images take time to upload, time to download, reduce page speeds, take a lot of space on servers (a lot of places will process big images down to something manageable, but it can affect quality). Keep in mind too that my old 20d camera takes really sharp and detailed pictures, though I can't blow them up as much as I can with my 5dII, which is less great for printing large pictures, but for the internet the 20d is more than adequate....Point being, I think it's better to process the images to optimize for the net as I think your results will be better.


Bob, by the way, I showed my wife Sherrie your trailer and she really loves it!

went and looked at a folder of downloads from CHRR 2012 and most pics are around 6.0 mb , soom a little less and occasionally one near 7mb

Brent that's a good explanation, and I think the key is your statement,

Anyone and everyone that posts image files on the internet or sends them via e-mail deals with the necessity of reducing file sizes as normal practice. The high resolution files are only necessary if you're trying to print a picture larger than 8x10, or wanting to crop an image to create a picture of a small detail in the original, like taking a picture of a car and wanting a full size picture of one lug nut. Anything like that is done before posting/sending, so that's a moot point anyway. It's simply part of dealing with the flexibility of digital photography.

Everybody is asking for pics


I got pics


This site has been in trouble every since the changes were made couple years ago-----many have left who did post numerous pics---


Make it easier to post the pics and maybe it will grow again--------------

Did you even read what Brent posted, explaining the facts to you?

Since this thread has left the tracks anyway.. Sorry M.T.!

If you post large pictures, those of us with slower internet connections may wait minutes for them to load! Eventually what will happen is we'll never even try to open anything you post Jerry! It happens on a few sites I frequent. There are times when a big picture would be nice but not all the time!

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming! Again, with apologies to M.T..... 8-)

This thread left the tracks on post 32... Put a fork in it and call it done... I did.

Here is a vintage popup RV. These things are so cool. M.T. I really like the custom work you did on the trailer. Anyone wanting to post big photos can do so free thru sites like photobucket and link the picture here with the IMG code from photobucket. It's a nice compromise to keeping the MB storage capacity down on this site and the pictures load instantaniously. Everybody wins! Now back to cool old trailers/RV's
