Porsche Crest The Official Porsches 2 Oxford 2006 Photo Thread

Since nobody has started this yet, I'll get it kicked off. Julie and I ended up taking close to 200 photos. We'll probably put all of ours on a website, but for now I'll start this thread with a sampling. (..be patient with me, I have to resize them all before I can post!)

And of course thanks to John and Eric for being kind enough for showing us around the Taj on our way back home even though we are from MI. Go Wolverines!







Your place is amazing! When you get all set we're planning on coming back. Thanks again you guys!

What application are you using to resize them (I'm assuming that you're using a multipixel camera) and at what size are you trying to post them?

Well since you brought it up I think this pic is appropriate! I'm just glad you held it down! We are looking forward to next year too so eat a big dinner and maybe you could swing 15? J/K!



EDIT: I see you tried a PM. I just cleaned it out if you want to try to send it again......

I cleared out my inbox so if you want to try that again that's fine....

I saw you guys were on the wrong side of the street. I'm glad we were in the shade! That was a great show! We are looking forward to that next year. Maybe we can stay a couple nights so we can do the drive through the woods and then drive back on Sunday. Maybe you guys and Bill could hang out a second night next year. I know it'll be hard for ya having a new little one! Congrats again!

Just to make it even here is one of me at lunch-time the very next day!

Not as heavy as a Guinness but that's all that I could handle!

I'm using Photoshop to resize them. My camera is a 3.2 mpxl camera, and the photos were shot at...erm....2550 wide and I'm reducing them to 800 wide. They look great until I post them. I'm not doing anything different than the 1,000 other times I've posted pics, yet for some reason they're turning out yucky...

Big thanks to JD for bringing the 959 to the show. That mofo has like 6000km on it and to drive it out here in rural Ohio for everyone to see was really special. We locals are spoiled in that we can see it a number of times a year, but a lot of people (LOT) at the show were baptized for the first time.

I think he went home with a Top-25 brick too so badda bing.

As I sat there at times, I was REAlly surprised on how many people were taking pictures of my car. They were all around all day long, whea, I had to fight them off for a place to sit. Then somebody said that maybe, just MAYBE it was the 959 beside me. I could'nt believe they would say that, can you?, but as time passed, yea it was the 959. Can you believe a 959 over a slantnose? Oh well, it was a great time, good friends, and great cars. Next year guys.

Are you using the image resize function or the Save for Web function? I suggest increasing the saturation of your photos by 10-15% and then use the File -> Save for Web function. You will see an Image Size Tab. Resize it there and choose the quality. It will show you the resized photo and the file size in the lower left.
