DUNNIT !

[byron]

OK! I have been toying with doing it for a while and have finally dunnit. I have put a few pictures up at this addie :-
http://www.education-jobs.co.uk/boatshots.htm maybe this will start a trend and others will do the same. I will be delighted to help but feel Boatone is the expert on this sort of thing.

I have done the same on

http://www.geocities.com/jinto100/Jintopics.html

I think the pics are a bit large at the moment so may take a while for the images to show.

Went to look but it said the site was down for an hour or so. Will look later. If you want, I know how to reduce photo sizes to more manageable proportions ?? I will look to see how big they are when I finally get to look...... Ooooh! this is so exciting, I am jumping up and down on my little chubby legs, I do hope others follow suit.

I would guess that the size of pix has helped 'exceed data tranfer allowance' doh! Better make em smaller - out with Photoshop!

Putting piccies up on the web is not difficult but they do need prepping well if they are to download quickly and look good.
I try to make sure they are not too big - say about 400 pixels wide and saved as .jpg so that file size is less than 30k.
The index pics of matts new boat are all less than 10k and the bigger pics they lead to are between 14k and 34k.
Photoshop is great for this - especially the 'save for web' feature but you do need to know how to get the best out of it - particularly things like resizing and sharpening.
Take a look at the images in the club area of my photo website at http://www.fstop.co.uk if you want to see how good pics can look at file sizes of less than 30k. When I've got a minute I'll do a little 'how-to' and post the url.

I got a brilliant video clip but don't know how to add
the file for peeps to d/l off the site and watch it.
Cummon boatone, how do I do it?
NB. see how small my piccies were? ain't you proud of me?

replacement boat

we're thinking of getting a Broom / Ocean 37 an older boat but with more internal volume for entertaining which we'll do more of on the Thames

Re: replacement boat

Good boat the Ocean 37 that was my previous boat. I had it for (I think) 12 years. Best thing is you can get most of the engine spares from an agricultural outlet at farmers prices.

All fixed now I think! I must bring more pix into office to scan - this is fun!

 

[ArthurWood]

They loaded pretty quickly for me. Nice piccies - yours too, Byron. Can't wait to get back to Florida to try this for myself.
