Hey guys/gals Im really fighting to get the site finished within the next week because Ive been sawmped with a ton of pictures to edit. Since my last Sightings post a month back Ive had a supercar overload. Ive seen the usual variety of nice cars on the street but Ive also been to a ton of dealers and the NYIAS. within the past 2 weeks Ive seen 3 CGTs and 3 SLRs! unfortunately the i wasnt able to take pics of the Silver CGT which I saw in a dealership in Long Island on a rainy work day. I do have pics of the black and yellow cgt and theres a big chance that ill get to see another black cgt within the end of the week! Ive decided to not use a NYCcarsightings logo and keep it simple with my name on the corner as to keep the picture clean and tidy. I am still not sure as to waht size i should make the high res images as Im limited to only 1gb of space on the server so I would like to maximize the amount i can have on the site yet avoid lose of quality in the images.

I plan to do what TT does, make periodic updates so I will be updating the website every 3-4 days. I will also have a submitions page open to random sightings that a few friends offered to submit. If they contribute enough pics I will start their own dedicated area.

Unfortunately I havent been able to get a new camera because the original order wasnt handled properly by the website i had ordered it from and decided to cancel it. I will be getting one this saturday and hope to spend the entire weekend testing it out at the autoshow! I already have the memory card for it so Im completely stoked.

I what previews would you like to see before the site goes up? I will post the images here in High Res.
some cars that Ive photographed in the last month.. Spyker, Lotus, Murcie Roadsters, Vipers, Saleens, Brabus, Amgs, Cgts, RRs, Bentleys.. just to name a few..

I cant promise that Ill post a preview of all of them but I do promise that ones that you do get to see wont dissappoint.

I would suggest 1600x1200 sized pictures, as they are nice and big for the high-res freaks (like me

) and you can still keep the file size down to between 300-400Kb without any noticeable loss in quality

At that size you can fit about 3000 images into your 1Gb limit which should be enough to get you started

As for the previews, the Murci Roadster and CGT's sound the most interesting to me

The Porsche wheel nut is one of the best pics i have ever seen. I love it.. This is some awesome work xxleasxx, keep it up and keep posting.. I'll definately be checking your site

sweet pics! What kind of camera did you get? Just 1 suggestion, you might want to blur out all the plates if you are going to put the on your site. Some people are really private and do not want their plate on the internet. I'm just speaking from experience becuase a lot of people have asked me to blur out the plates in my pics. I'm looking forward to seeing the site when its up!

thanx for the suggestion. Ill be sure to look through all the pics just to make sure about the plates. I got a Canon Powershot Pro 1. I just got back from the autoshow and will be going through all the duplicates and such. I took 1100 pictures and hope to get atleast 400 to 350 good pictures. I actually managed to fill up the 2 gig memory card, so Ill have some good pics to post up soon.

wow, thats a serious upgrade! I was going to get a Pro 1, but I decided on the D70 instead. The 1 feature you will fall in love with is the vari-angle LCD monitor. I know you like to get the low ground shots and the LCD is PERFECT for that, theres going to be some great pics coming from that camera!
