High Resolution Photos.Animal Jim

8) A trade magazine wants some pictures of Zeke , me , engine for a story I wrote for them. I sent stuff from my files and scanned originals. The editor tells me they have a new format and need higher resolution or better quality digital than my photos-some of which are proffesional have been used in publications. My scanner is old Cannon 650 but my PC is a few month old wireless consilidated 23" Dell. :?: :?

HELP! :shock:

The weak spot is probably the scanner, not the PC. I wonder if you can go to a Kinkos or similar company and get a high resolution scan... bp

Jim are you going to be at 66 tomorrow? We are going to test Jeff's camaro. I am having trouble retrieving that video of the World Series 2011. I've had to upgrade my computer & also the Movie program & now I can't get to it. I can see the thumbnail but when I click on it the file is empty. I'm not giving up yet though. I've found a little of the original footage. I'll be able to reconstruct it if I can just find the rest.

Jim, looking for the lost footage, I came across these stills. The originals are high res. World series 2011 shots. Your welcome to any of them if they will do you any good.

With it being in the 50's, humidity in the 20's & partly sunny it didn't even occur to me to check the web site for a weather related cancellation.
That would have been some good air for us. Maybe next year.

I wonder how many would have showed if they had not cancelled. I wonder if Byron, Cordova, Great Lakes, Havana and 41cancelled. NHRA ran yesterday till it rained before semis. It was what 52F? Set all kinds of records.

In the early 70s we started at Oswego in March in 35 40 degree weather. Sometimes snow piles would be along track. No spraying VHT etc. :lol:
Of course the average cars were not as quick today's bracket cars. But some RTE's were in 10s and 9s. :wink:

Cordova still hosts a Hangover Race on New Years if dry. US 30 used to do that. :shock:
