That must be his house. You can see the half dozen garage stalls.

And the lawn is really tough to keep up with!

You can't fool us. In this picture you can clearly see the staff quarters.

Especially when you keep parking cars on it...

Any relections in my pics have been unintentional to date. I'll have to try some with that in mind.

Time to put the roof on for winter, while I'm sure most of you are itching to get your roof off

How do you get all these pictures in less than 256KB?

RobMarks · « **Reply #87 on:** July 07, 2009, 08:15:56 »

Microsoft "Office" Picture Manager which is fairly standard with most computers allows you to shrink the size as a percentage. So I open the photo in Picture manager ---- Edit Pictures------Resize -------- My pics are generally 2000-3000 so pic 20 or 30% or so until its a smaller file and resave as a different name so you don't lose the original. Many other graphics programs will allow you to resize. Or also crop all the rubbish out of the pic and you will have a smaller file

good luck rob

Rob, you might want to try using your flash for these pics. It will help balance the light behind your car and lighten up your car facing the camera. Basically, any situation where the stronger light is in front of you. Take two of each shot, one with flash, one without and see which you like better.

My camera takes great pics with the flash when they are small subjects fairly close, but unfortunately my flash does not throw far enough to work with my car.

It seems if its a grey day or the sun is to high in the sky My pics are really dull.

Had a great drive today with my wife up the coast, but too early a start and a dull day at that, so dissapointed in the quality of the pics

a few average pics from this mornings drive

Using the flash provides balance to the light behind the car where the camera is taking it's light reading from (brightest area). Try using the flash. It's not supposed to be obvious in the picture (reflectors are giveaway though).

next to another great bridge! Some great photo opportunities around there. Unfortunately when i'm around that part of the world, my rental car doesn,t look quite as good as that!
S.F. would be a great city for pics. I'd probably park it on one of those really steep streets with the bay and alcatraz in the background I'm sure you have a few more pics up and down the pacific hwy.

Looks like a great place for a pic. That is the north east corner of the bridge, right?? ?

Rob,
Blue Pagoda photo taken near the north eastern end/side of the bridge at the old Fort Baker army base now an up marked resort named Cavallo Point and just west of Sausalito, well worth a stopover. Ours wasn't the only 113 there at the time, see attached 230
