Full Version: Vegas pictures.... 2007

Anyone want to tackle the unenviable task of walking me through posting them?!?
I could just post a thread but there are quite a few (although I'm not posting all of them). I would like to post them under the Beach Party section of the home page. I would like to post them with captions similar to how Chuck did it last year.
I may just have to wait for him to get home and see if he can help. But in the meantime, I know some folks are anxious so if anyone can offer any help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Becky

I can post them to the forum server, then give you the link to each picture, then you can add the captions yourself. I used the physical link to the image of last year's beach party to disply the picture below.

The first step would be sizing the photos to where the largest dimension is 7", (i.e. 18x24, change the 24 to 7) and save the images at 72 dpi.
David T., Harvey and I have upload pages. We can give you access to one of those, where you'll be able to upload your images.
The upload page automatically creates a code for each image that you copy and paste into your post.
There were a lot of cameras going off, so I'm sure your photos will just be the first wave.
It may be better to see everyone's pictures first, then pick the best to be used as a slideshow on the home page.
I was actually the person who created the captions for last year's photos, although I can see why you thought it was Chuck. :-)

I am still in Vegas, scheduled to leave Monday afternoon. There is some concern about if the flight will be canceled. As of last night the Philadelphia airport looks like it will stay open, yesterday afternoon it looked like it would close due to a severe ice storm. We'll see.
I found out I did not have the link to my upload page on my laptop or the pictures would have been inside the post rather than attachments. Wen I get home I will also be able to get them into a post for you.

If you were in Vegas and have pictures to share, please pm me and I will send you the account info for you to directly upload your photos.
Once we have all the photos from everyone we will go through and pick out the best ones for a slide show to be posted on the forum complete with captions etc.
Arguably, I am no flickr expert by any means. I believe you can order prints directly from flickr. If anyone is interested in ordering, please pm me and I can just email you the pictures you are interested in (if they were mine) or I will send you the account info.
Here is the link to copy and paste into your browser or maybe I actually figured out how to make a hyperlink and you can just click on it :B

If anyone has any problems or questions, let me know and I will be happy to help :D
Thanks!!

Becky,
Incredible job!!!
Janna took some pictures, too. I'll resize them (they're about 36" wide by default) and send them to you.
Thank you for the wonderful photography!

Becky,
I finally got to experience a small taste of the fun you all had at the Beach Party this year. I really enjoyed the photo tour. Thanks for archiving all of the activity. Now are you sure there were no photos held back to protect the innocent?
I recognized many of the faces from last year's pictures and was able to cheat a little bit on some of the others by maximizing them enough to read name badges.
I would have loved to have seen David's gracious response to the mini-plaque Harvey created. We talked about that plaque for a while. At one point we considered ceating a plaque that had every error that could possibly be done to a plaque. Just think of the possibilities.
Misspellings.
Five different font styles.
Off-center engraving.
Bad spacing of text.
Engraved plate placed on crooked and upside down from keyhole slot on back.
Bad plate and plaque color combination.
Scratch on the plate.
Date with wrong year. (2006)
Wrong recepient name. (Something like Chuck Lavaneri)
Corner of plaque dented from shipping damage.
Epoxy doming spilling over the edge of the plaque.
etc., etc., etc...........

He was thrilled with that "dinky" plaque. He was as gracious and kind about accepting that little screwball of a plaque as he was about receiving the beautiful shadowbox.
How he didn't at least giggle even a little bit is beyond me.
He's a good sport.
Or, he was severely sleep deprived and the plaque actually looked good to him... ;-)

I received your pictures and will add them to the flickr account in the morning.
I haven't looked at all of them yet but the ones I did look at look great!!
Thanks for adding to our photo album and for your kind words.
Again, it was so great to see you and Janna again!!

I did get in a few without making it obvious.
The logo was a little off center.
I put Dave instead of David.
The paragraph spacing was poor.
I used the word 'Presented' three times in four paragraphs.
I was going to use the one plaque that had no hanging holes in it that I had, but a customer just had to have that one to use as a base for something.
There were minute dings of missing color, of course that was the top edge.
It was the cheap faux wood with straight laser engraving and no fill.
I figured that anything more would just be too obvious that it was intended to be really bad.
