I have recently bought a 1973 ambassador I got it home and stripped it back to a skeleton, ripped off cladding and walls and roof. Just trying to work out how to post pics. I have just hopefully posted up a heap of photos through photobucket. hope they turned out. The van I stripped back to a s the roof completely off. rustproofed the chassis, replaced bearings, brakes and axle. Replaced all walls and ceiling with gloss white polyurethane ply, modified roof and fitted a 4 seasons hatch. totally remade the overhead cupboards, wardrobes and kitchen etc. ripped all the wiring out and rewired all 240v and also 12 v wiring. Today I insulated the roof and fitted brand new white gloss aluminium and properly sealed the roof. I have brand new LOG CABIN PROFILE cladding being delivered from Sydney to Q.L.D on Friday on the weekend I will insulate the walls and fit new cladding. Last week I bought a brand new red retro fridge red retro microwave and kettle ,toaster. Once cladding is fitted I am spray painting the van the same as my 1960 El Camino which will be towing this van. I will post up more pics this week.

How large are the photos? the page shows like its still loading something, make sure you resize. cheers, The important part about pics online is not so much the re size of them but compression! Example i do a screen shot of my screen as a PNG so it will be 1920x 1080 pixels But 2.4 MB approx!!! I resize it to 355x 240 pixels and it is now 553MB! I change the format of my printscreen to JPG and my 1920 x 1080 is now 850MB, i choose say 80% compression on my tools for JPEG and that same 1920 x 1080 image is 560MB. To the average punter and screen resolution view there is no difference. If i wanted to print and enlarge the pics only then would we see what limitations exist & more than likely flaws with setting of aperture, camera/ subject movement etc. Now most modern cameras are above 10 megapixel it is important to be aware of post shoot bandwidth liability to folks wanting to see things. On limited internet plans looking at a heavy picture page can be the same MB as watching a 10 minute movie, why sites like Flickr make you have to choose what version of images you view, as they would go broke quickly showing full size artifact pictures each view. |

Just to clarify Atez, the file size is what I meant, not the dimensions  This is what I do, I take my photo (from camera) and open in Paint (everyone with windows has this). I then reduce the size of the photo to 40% and save. This reduces a 2mb file down to about 300kb and is more than enough for forum posts (ie internet usage, not printing). |

No worries Tasmillard so many folks read resize and just make pics smaller, or with phone pics not know they can chose jpg over bmp or png, when shooting. Something good is a batch converter. I use FastStone resizer at the moment, others like IRfanView & XnFanView are also good. just load a bunch into the menu & if like me (before i lost my camera) you take full size pics 10,000 x 40,000 ish & 26 MB+ per BMP picture they can be resized to something friendly like 2000 x 4000 or 1000 wide for facebook as their uploader is crap, and the resized converted & if worthy watermarked file is now 400Kb ish! Load go do something then come back later to a finished batch up to 3000 pics. A pro tog mates biggest pic file was just under 11GB for one picture!! Lots of touch up effects for a jewler on a featured ring stone setting for promotion. |
