MINIs in Christmas Parade pics

Destin Christmas Parade with two MINIs decorated up.

http://public.fotki.com/PMS/panhandl...istmas_parade/

I decided to dress up like Austin Powers for some reason. It was a hit! Lots of postive comments about the MINI during the parade! The commentator at the main stand was clueless and asked if it was an electric car?

Nice pics.
It's pretty cool how that website can show the EXIF data just by clicking that link.

You know I never clicked that "EXIF" link before. Good info.

Since someone mentioned EXIF I remembered that there was a setting in the NAM gallery software and turned it on. Now when you view an image that has EXIF info its displayed under the image.

I think it runs on hay and carrots if you notice the 'road apples' next to it.

Watch where you step, er, uh, or drive!

Good fun, perfect red mcs for such an event. Have a great holiday!

Hey, that is cool!
I just tried it, uploaded a pic just to check it out. Lo and behold, there was the EXIF data!

It's too bad photoshop strips that information off the picture.

Just found this tidbit on the nikonians site:

Just to add one more tidbit of info to this topic: "Save as... jpeg" will preserve EXIF info, while "Save for web" will strip off EXIF info.


Besides EXIF info what is the difference between save for web and save as jpeg....I've never spent enough time to see what the difference is if you are going to JPEG. I can see why if you want png or gif but not jpeg. Any insight into why to use one or the other?

Save for Web gives full control in realtime over what the final image will look like. You can adjust the quality and see it before you save it---you can also see what it looks like as a GIF instead of a JPG.

Save as JPEG just saves it without this interactive interface. Also Save for Web limits the actual size of the image that can be saved--or atleast it only displays a maximum size--for instance--try to Save for Web at 4MP image and you will only see a portion of it--in trying to keep you from using extraordinarily large images on the web. Never tried to see if it only saves that portion though.
