good start mate, the clay banking ones are good. the gallery system you have, which uses the full sized image as a thumbnail is really slow though (as its loading 6 full sized images at once).
I'd definately scale down the full versions to something like 800-1000 across so they are easier to look at.

Sorry I wasn't there last night to give you some tips on your new camera, I totally forgot until it was too late! oops

very nice m8, in my opinion they are very good, (much, much better then i can do!) i really liked 3 and 7 as taking the photo while the buggy is jumping is quite hard to do, but your have achieved this well!

thanks
Kev

Great pictures there! keep up the good work! Load up speed a bit slow but nevermind.

Don't be affraid of getting in close to the action, we promise not to drive into you often - Jimmy will vouch for that!

LOL, where would you sit on the Batley track matey, maybe between the jumps? Jimmy, I know you'll have a few sweet spots right? Howabout if I sit on the jump, I'll open my mouth, and if you drive into my mouth, you instantly get FTD of the day

BTW Chris, your car is ace, its really smooth, and easy to photgraph Hence why I have about 10 pics of your car LOl
I need to work ont he gallery though, I want PHP, as I am alzy, and am not sitting for 30 mins putting reduced images into a table LOL. Will look around tonite for a better soloution. Also see my CMS I am working on, I need BETA testers to sign-up to see if it works LOL Its stilla BETA, so it looks naff at the mo

No need for PHP, just re-use the same HTML over & over again. If you keep each set of images in its own folder with its own index file you can then use the same image numbering system for each folder. The only code change is the text for the title of the gallery.

Have a look for 'XNVIEW', you can download it as freeware, it's really good at batch processing image files - re-sizing, sharpening, adding text......
Its real simple & easy to use.

[jimmy]

There are a load of things that will automate the process to create all the thumbs and all the HTML. If you use photoshop - that does it too.

[BenG]

LOL forgot about PS, its under FIle>Automate and web gallery right?

[BenG]

Also, were do you take you pics mate, at Batley?
