Warbirds at Flying Legends

Post by joseyclosey » Mon Jul 12, 2010 4:00 am

Been on my annual pilgrimage to Duxford, Cambridge this past weekend for an infusion of big piston aero engines. :D The weather was ubearably hot but the flying and gathering of the warbirds was as usual superb.
A few of the attending aircraft.

A good collection of Spitfires.

Yes please.
The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

Pictures are good....just too big as links for the screen. But if you attach them..... there should be no problem as the attachment resizes them and clicking on the photo will make it larger without any loss of photo. But...whatever.....

Well...Joe.... you did as suggested...but these photos are all 3800 or so pixels large. The original ones were only 1000 or so. These photos when open are too large for anybody to look at.

I'll resize one to show you what they would look like at 1000 pixels when opened.

Now for printing photos the larger the pixel count the better, but for internet use the screen showing much smaller is best.
I use IrfanView...which is free software for resizing and other photo corrections.

Strange, when i click on your pic of the Ju 52 it comes up the same size as the pics in my first post.

I see what you mean about my attached pics though.

When i upload pics to photobucket they are, 17" screen size (1024 X 768) which i thought would be ok. Looks like i need to go to the next size down.

When I open your last photo of the plane with the yellow nose it is gigantic. If I fish around in that photo when opened I get what you see attached, exactly like I see it on my screen.
