Bravo Rod, I really like the look of the page with the "splat" background and the club logo with faded background. Very attractive.
I say let's get the disk space we need, whatever it is, so that we can make this stuff available. I would love to have the Grand Prix pictures available from the race site. Now, Ron has a very high-res digital camera which has obviously created correspondingly large JPEGs. At 500KB for a pretty good jpg, we could store a couple thousand images in a gigabyte. That would still give Ron a market for his CDs with the higher quality images (if in fact, he wants to do that). We could even further reduce the quality of the enlargements on the site (100-150KB?, which is still quite good for screen viewing and email) and let people order the high quality images through the office. Maybe make a profit on this?? Higher price for non-members, cost only for members. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Plunkett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "OBC List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 7:08 PM Subject: [obc] OBC Photo Archive 2001 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have uploaded "thumbnail" photos of all of Ron Elmer's 2001 photos to the OBC Web site at: http://www.cyberus.ca/~obcweb/thumbs/ The web pages are very crude - ie - the people in the photos are not identified or anything. If there is anyone out there who knows absolutely everyone in the Club and would like to document the photos, I can lend you the software to annotate the images 'for posterity' and then we can put captioned photos on the web site. Ron is also willing to burn a CD-ROM of any photos you want for $5 to cover the costs. Ron is volunteer and it costs him fuel and time to attend events and archive the photos onto CDs, as well as wear and tear on his camera gear. We are lucky to have him documenting our events. If you want photos, go through the Club Office to place an order. If you see your mugshot in one of the line ups, you can thank Ron by buying a CD-ROM. The thumbnails take up about 6 MB of web storage. Unfortunately, I cannot upload larger images because we do not have the space (our max, I believe is 20 MB at present). We would need a minimum of 340 MB. The originals take up 2850 MB (2.85 GB) - good thing I bought a 40GB drive last year! The above page is not linked to the OBC home page yet, so keep the above link until we get that done.
