Thread: 2014 California Hot Rod Reunion

I'm out of space at photobucket---and if I remove/replace the ones I have there ,they disappear from sites like this-----------


I've been around hot rods, race cars--drag racers from old a, b,c,d stock classes in the 50s, SS in some later years, Modified Stock early 60s, top fuel, funny car, pro stock from late 60s ---- Stock block Indy cars in 80s, dirt cars, go Karts with my 2 sons 90s-2002-----My cars have won National awards in the International rod and custom shows, best appearing at numerous national races, been featured in all sorts of major publications ( including Esquire Magazine (a month before Burt Reynolds naked in Cosmo)) , many best engineered awards , Revell, 1320inc, Johnny Lightening did models of them-------


As I hope you and others can maybe tell by that, I am pretty deeply rooted with my love and interest for things that make noise and go fast and far--------I have always loved photography and have been around many top level photogs-----just had wonderful visit with Steve Reyes at CHRR---------todays digital cameras allow a level of photog that is mind bogling and I find myself taking thousands of pics along the roads/flight paths of the world/ and national parks, etc , that wasn't possible back in the days of film and prints ( even 35mm slides),


I have always found this site and the people on here as being genuinely deeply interested in the sport and seem to working hard and long to do hot rodding at the highest level they can------I want to be able to post some pics ( not all of them ) showing the detail of the details, and that means to me to be able to post them at the 14 mp of the camera I have-these aren't smart phone pics, (however many times the details will show several peeps with there phones walking in front of the camera)


As an example, from just the CHRR, I probably have 50 pics of just the front ends (suspension, lights, wheels, axle,etc) and engine accessory mounting from strictly 32 fords------------and hundreds of the rest of those cars and the historic drag racers plus several of the new $$$$$$$$$$$$ gassers( got a 57 chev for dave) and altered--------


I'm asking for support from you and others on here to encourage Brent to change the specs for posting photos so it can be done easier and simpler with the details that todays cameras allow. With that I'll go get my second cup of coffee

Jerry,

I understand where you are coming from, but I have yet to find any of the 16 forums I have access to daily (down from the 30+ I used to peruse daily) that allow such large photo attachments. The reasoning for this is mostly space, but server level bandwidth, and the fact that there are 1,000's of users who just use certain forums to host their photos for non forum related businesses or auction/sales sites. I will however send your post off to Brent for his consideration, as he is the only one to make such decisions. Perhaps he can explain if they can, or why they cannot be hosted in such a file size (not that other sites may or may not automatically resize such things, but I do not know how).

PS: There are many of us with multiple camp trunks (remember those) full of disorganized photographs, stretching back in to the 60's and earlier......Now if I could just find someone to scan them all in for me for free
