Thanks for your opinions guys.

Also - the pilot of the Yak was performing her first display, so if you have any of the 52 I can pass them on too. Drop me a PM if you've got anything you'd like to share with them..................

Cheers

Thanks Rich

Looking through my shots, I was surprised to find that I only have pictures of the Yak on the ground. I'll add these in tomorrow and if you think that the pilot (Angie Soper ?) would be interested, you can forward them (please quote me as the photographer) or I can give them in much higher resolution. Still can't think why I have no shots of the Yak in the air.

Enjoyed your shots too. Especially like the 'Sepia' effects that you've added.

Peter

Thanks - I added the link rather than photos, as the 800 x 600 limit looks like a postage stamp on my 1920 x 1080 HD resolution monitor and forward the same photos to several friends.
The photos were processed using Nikon's View NX 2 software and Adobe Photoshop Elements 9.

I'd lost track of the airshow dates this year, and it was just by chance one of my regular visits fell on that day. I'm going to try and get down there for the Friday before Flying Legends, and will in any case be in for the display itself. There's going to be a P-38L there this year.

Anyway, your photography skills certainly put mine to shame.

Cheers Paul

Keep on enjoying it!
Looking forward to the P-38L.
I'll be there on the 8 July (as well as the airshow) - maybe meet up to say hello.
Also, I joined the local Photo Club here in Willingham, which I'm sure has added to my photos and is great fun.

Thanks Kevin, Yes, I don't make pictures in 800x600 either but what I meant was...What software do you use to upload the set of pictures to your website so that they will display as they do when the link is clicked? I can upload a slideshow from Lightroom but then when the link is clicked, they display one at a time rather than a scrolling page like yours do.

Hi Peter

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The webspace that I use is my limited free amount provided by Virgin Media. I use a program called Terrapin FTP, which is some years old now and is payware.
Using my very limited knowledge of hypertext (HTML), I write a simple program with Notepad which referneces to the folder containing the photos. The HTML textfile is then saved (as a '.HTM' file) in the same folder as all of my website files on my C drive.
On running Terrapin FTP, it enqires the location of my website files and after inputting my webspace address, password etc it uploads the new page to my website.
An example otf the HTML file (this one for the Duxford Spring Show, showing only 3 of the 15 photo links to save space) is as follows-

<html>
<center>
<head>
<title>Duxford Spring Show 2011</title>

<body bgcolor="white" text="blue">
<a href="Index.htm">HOME</a>



<center><img src="Duxford%20Spring%20Show%202011/Duxford%2001.jpg"></center>

<center><img src="Duxford%20Spring%20Show%202011/Duxford%2002.jpg"></center>

<center><img src="Duxford%20Spring%20Show%202011/Duxford%2003.jpg"></center>

All photographs contained in this site are

</body>
</head>
</center>
</html>

Where anything with a < > is a start command and < /> is an end command. simply creates a space eg between 2 photographs. The '%20's that you see are something that Terrapin adds in when uploadoing - I have no idea why.

There are freeware FTP programs such as Filezilla, but I've not worked out how to use this.
Also, there are many guides to HTML programming available on the web.
I hope I haven't made that sound more complicated than it is. It can be a bit frustrating to start with but HTML is quite logical when you get the hang of it.

Regards

Kevin

Should you have any further questions, please feel free to ask or drop me a PM.

Peter -
If you have IrfanView, it can write a lot of the html for you.
www.w3schools.com is the place to learn all about using html - all for free.
As Kevin says, once you understand the tags, it is very logical - in fact I find it easier than tracking down the typos I have made when adding new textures

I use the freeware BlazeFTP for uploading - very easy drag&drop interface.

Have fun

Thanks for those links, Mike

I wasn't aware of either, but both are well worth having.
