Gordy Hill Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 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! Quote
Ken_Potts Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Can you send pics to an email address? If so I will be happy to post them. Quote
Gordy Hill Posted February 19, 2007 Author Posted February 19, 2007 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. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 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: Quote
Ken_Potts Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Have you found the help you asked for yet? Quote
Gordy Hill Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 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. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 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... Quote
Gordy Hill Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 Ken, I'm going to try sending a pic. The address will look weird...a multi-digit number. Quote
Tom Lathrop Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 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 Quote
Ken_Potts Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 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 Quote
Gordy Hill Posted February 27, 2007 Author Posted February 27, 2007 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... Quote
Jim McLaren Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Ken, I sent you a PM with my email address for the EC. I can post about any time. Quote
Frank Hagan Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 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? Quote
Gordy Hill Posted February 28, 2007 Author Posted February 28, 2007 It's just the lighting that makes it look like that Frank. It's just a normal schooner. Quote
Ken_Potts Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 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 Quote
Guest Oyster Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 I am not sure what speed you were actually going when you hit that seawall, but I hope everyone survived it. Quote
edt Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 Here are three pictures received by Cell. For some reason they have acquired a violet hue. Ed Quote
lsearle Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 you are missing yellow from yellow/magenta / cyan. But from a cell???Old photographer, newbie techo. Quote
Bill Paxton Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 I think the photos are a little easier on the eyes when in B&W. Quote
