More Old Photos

David , I am very sorry to hear this , you have given us so many great pictures and now this ! On other threads people has been talking and longing after this book......................but not me.....(might miss something-dont care!) I hope you find the right help !

 

Once question I would have about the nefarious usage of your photographs, how did they get highres photos to publish? I have shared some vintage photos here knowing that at 800 x800 pixels, you would be hard pressed to print anything over 2.66 inches by 2.66 inches. You can fudge the numbers a little to streach the pixels out even more, but you will start to see jagged edges at any sharp lines on the image.

I'm attaching an example of an image I have shared from the Scuderia Bear Collection by the McKelvy family. The first image is 800pixels x730 pixels at 72 dpi. I then took that same image, resized it to 300 dpi which then provided an image 2.67" by 2.2" or so.

Was the quality of the images any good in the book? Or were they used at a smaller size? I guess I really need to watermark all the images I share. I hate to do that, it detracts from the overall beauty of the shots. Then again, I would hate to see the images used without permission and then the owners of the photos come after me!

best wishes

Ken

beautiful pic, but
that resembles the stands of Modena

 

“Chas” perhaps Charlie Hayes ?

Terry O' Neil book's “the Bahamas Speed Weeks", in Ferrari 250 GTO NART s/n 3223 GT ?

Photograph page n° 232.

 

Yes, it is 3223 at the Nassau event as raced by Scuderia Bear. You can see their emblem on the fender.

Bertocchi, I was still wondering about my questions above, at what size were the purloined photos of yours used in the book? Where they bigger than 3x3 inches? If so, what was the quality? If the quality was good, how did they get the images in higher res then what you have so kindly shared with us here.

I ask the question because I fear for the protection of the photos that I have shared. I have already noticed some of the images showing up in other threads without reference to the original owner. I'm not too concerned about that, because there is no profit motive. But if someone can lift an image from this thread and publish it at reasonable size in a book, that's another matter.

regards

Ken

 

Great shot earlier in the thread.

Unfortunately I suggest from now on every photo that you post on the internet has a 'watermark' across it to reduce the likelihood of it being 'easily' copied.

You mean the small round one? The rectangular one behind the front wheel well is certainly NART.

 

Yes, the small round one with a red outline and the dancing bear in the middle.

Here are a couple more of 3223.

cheers

The Fitch Corvair looks HUGE!

 

Somewhere earlier in this thread there was a photo of what some thought was a 225 Vignale coupe. After some research, it appears that the car in question is actually a Frua bodied Volpini/Fiat 1100 circa 1953.

Link to a photo in my files:

beautiful collection! ! !

 

it is. but by us standards it was small back then.

i remember being in luxombourg in 1973 and seeing a buick electra 225 about a 1963 model parked along side the road. it was just so HUGE compared to the other european cars!

another startling thing was seeing a winnebago coming into the campground in rome in same year. it was just twice the size of any european camper. it looked like a house on wheels. today that would be a small motor home!

so as our cars have shrunken, our motor homes have ballooned! but with the modern diesel engines they use a lot less fuel than the older smaller ones.

I had find these picture in the book "GT40" by Ronnie Spain; it seems to me that it's the same car. This is the 275GTB/C chassis 9063 driven by Sam Posey and Ricardo Rodriguez ( not Pedro brother ) at Daytona 24 hours 1969.

that was very nice. i saw pics of cars i have never seen before. some fiats that looked like 39 buick, lancia that looked like american car too, and alfa that looked like an auburn speedster from behind.

the designers on both sides of the pond were looking at each other's work. it still is going on.

great stuff.
