nice rod! Are you using Photobucket to post pics? If so, when you upload the picture Photobucket you have the option of what size you want the photo saved. Its the upload box at right, near the bottom of ther box. Choose 320/240 for a typical web pic. Thats the size I generally use. If you already have uploaded the pic, choos 'edit' function on the pic display, and resize by percentages. Personally, I like the size of trhis photo. Ilike also thats it's fairly close up and in focus.
For all the other guys wanting to take good photos, take a tip from the model railroad crowd..............get as close to eye level as possible. Sometimes you can pose your car on a piece of track on the tables edge, and actually get the body of the camera LOWER than the table edge. The lens will be close to even with the car. This will make the photo more lifelike, since that;s closer to the angle we generally view things in the 'real world."
Another trick if you have adjustable camera, use a small f-stop (bigger opening) to get as much light as possible and shoot at a slower speed. The depth of focus will be enhanced. This means the tip of a dragster will be in focus as well as the tail if you shoot it from in front.
