78 huge pics from today-many Ferraris (56k beware!!)

[callen]

GTOs sold for 15 because that was the peak in the market. they have since come down from such high prices...but i think still worth more than 2 million(but again depends on if it was raced, who raced it, and many other variables of course. if u want a little crash course on this kinda stuff, watch a little barrett jackson)
novass, what are the odds u will get a job there? that would be a dream come true to work at a place like that. ooo and the pics worked fine, im using zippyimages as well right now and ive had no problems yet 8)

Im not too sure yet. After I got home from the place I looked up their website and they said they need someone that has retail experiance (which I have TONS of), the person needs to like cars (I think thats a no brainer ) and has to have computer skills (done). Plus I know a guy that works for them which might be useful in helping me. I wont know until monday when my dad gets back and has a chance to call his friend. Im not even really sure that they need someone but I figure its worth a shot, what do I have to lose?

The only problem I see right now is that I fear I have gotten myself too excited for it and if it doesnt work out I will be quite embarrassed and upset LOL

A word on resizing - If you want I can write a quick program that will bulk resize all your shots to a specified size. You only need to enter a directory and/or size!
Just ask.

Anyway I there are lots of programs on the web that can do it.

The shots - are awesome! I have never so many rare Ferraris in one place. I'd have loved to be there. I can't recognise all of them even. The white/blue one? Some 250? Anyway as for the price of the 250GTO - they vary greatly and is unlikely to see the 1989/1990 peaks for a loooooong time.
2mill is still enough to exclude a replica I am sure and its not exactly change.

I wrote the program, but can not currently host it for download as I am in another country behind a rediculous firewall. The executable is about 11MB so I can't email it. Trying to cut out uneccesary fat though. I should be able to upload to my site by next week.
It is written in Python with a little GUI where you browse for an image folder, target folder and specify max width/height. Then click "resize" and site back.
I tested with 62 X 1MB files in 17 seconds on a Pentium 4 1.8GHz.

That should be fast enough...8)

[novass]

Sounds great, I could use a program like that. Let me know when its up.

Dang it would be nice to have a program that can work together with photoshop, you just give him a directory and it could, resize, sharped, adjust color balance and contrast, warm up a little the picture, do a small black frame around the pic, put the JW logo on them and make its layer only 80% visible LOL

(I did all these actions for the 300+ pics covering the Geneva motorshow )

[irrational_i]

Actually TT - I can do most of that...

But it will require a bit of development and that I do not have time for unfortunately.
But I may look into it for fun at some point...

LOL don't worry I love to work on every single pictures, cropping it like it should and so on
