I need help!

[Gordy Hill]

Ok, I know how to use my phone.

I know how to take a picture with it.

I know how to send the picture to another phone.

That's it. Beyond that it's a mystery.

Is there anyone in this group who has a phone that would receive my pics from the race and could immediately get them online? ...like onto this forum??

I could send the pics right from my boat as the race is happening.

We could have pics available within minutes of taking them!

[Ken_Potts]

Can you send pics to an email address? If so I will be happy to post them.

[Gordy Hill]

Wouldn't that be easy? I think I need to be signed up (more money) before I can post straight to the Internet. Of course it may be quite possible and I just don't know how to use it.

[Ken_Potts]

Well if you find out that you CAN send pictures to an email address I would be happy to post them.

I can't offer more than that since I'm one of the holdouts who hasn't got a cell phone yet (to say nothing of one of those fancy pickshur phones) :wink:

[Ken_Potts]

Have you found the help you asked for yet?

[Gordy Hill]

Actually, I have found out how to send a pic to an email address....I think...If I'm alone on the boat it may be too complicated. We can try it of course.

[Ken_Potts]

I sent you a PM with my email address.

I can post pics during the day on weekdays but not on evenings or weekends (that's better than nothing I guess).

If you can email me a pic and we find another volunteer for evenings or weekends I can set up an auto-forward and we can timeshare the updates to make them more timely.

If you feel like it go ahead and try to send me a random test picture before getting on the boat...

[Gordy Hill]

Ken,

I'm going to try sending a pic. The address will look weird...a multi-digit number.

[Tom Lathrop]

Gordy,

I don't know youor schedule but if you want a passenge for a few hours after the start, I will be there.

Tom

[Gordy Hill]

Sure Tom, Sounds great!

[Ken_Potts]

Here's the test photo...

I'll start a new thread for the race when you send me a race pic.

This will be fun

[Gordy Hill]

Hey! That's not half bad!

I should have stood farther back and zoomed it a bit.

As you can see, I'm at work. That's what I fly.

Beats working for a living...

[Jim McLaren]

Ken,

I sent you a PM with my email address for the EC. I can post about any time.

[Frank Hagan]

Gordy, that's a very weird looking boat. Did the mast get struck by lightening to be split into four pieces and flattened out like that?

[Gordy Hill]

It's just the lighting that makes it look like that Frank. It's just a normal schooner.

[Ken_Potts]

Your Jedi mind tricks are useless here Gordy. That's a ketch and that's all I'm gonna say about it. Now go get your ketch re-handicapped.

It planes at 0 knots

[Guest Oyster]

I am not sure what speed you were actually going when you hit that seawall, but I hope everyone survived it.

Here are three pictures received by Cell. For some reason they have acquired a violet hue.

you are missing yellow from yellow/magenta / cyan. But from a cell???Old photographer, newbie techo.

[Bill Paxton]

I think the photos are a little easier on the eyes when in B&W.
