Feelin' pretty good

Post by JSabah »

I was invited to participate in my 1st concourse show (judged) which took place this past weekend. The class I was in was called "European 3 liter and less" and most of the other cars were brought in covered trailers, but I drove an almost an hour to get there (Palos Verdes Concourse PVconcourse.com if interested). This was a new venue for the show, an airport with classic planes as well. Our class was situated around a Harrier Jet. My car came in 3rd behind an Alfa (1st place) that had come in 2nd at Pebble Beach/ Concorso Italiano this year and a Volvo P1800. Others included a Jowett Jupiter, a TR3a, and an AC Cobra ... All good company. Here are a few pics on my car and others just for fun.

Thanks for the tips. On my tablet, the pics are straight (but I was able to delete the duplicates).

This has happened before. I don't know why it affects a few people. Don't worry, leave them as they are. Someone may have an idea why it happens.

The problem why those pics are not displayed correctly is easy to describe. Digital cameras store quite a lot of information into the so-called "Exif-Header" of each and every pic when it's taken. One of the attributes of this header is called "Orientation". Pictures taken in "portrait-mode" get another value than those taken in "landscape-mode". When viewing the pictures directly on a tablet or on a computer, the program which displays the picture reads the information from the "Exif-Header" and rotates the picture accordingly on-the-fly. Viewing pictures with an internet browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer is a different thing. The browser does not head the information stored in the picture. Why? Well this would need a rather long explanation ...
So the user who wants to make sure that pictures taken in "portrait-mode" are displayed correctly on the internet has to rotate those pictures explicitly before uploading them. How to rotate a pic? In short: Open the pic in a image manipulation program - rotate it - save it.

Hope this helps to shed some light on the subject.
cheers, Hans

Or view the Forum on a laptop and rotate the laptop 90 degrees.

Incidentally the car looks splendid Josh - a beautiful result, thank you for posting the photos.

Cheers

Josh,

What's the full grin to bug splat ratio?
