Pictures Taken Later Sunday

I have taken over 310 pictures ( 120 mb ) of the event.  I got some great shots, mostly covering the Top Truck Class. Trouble is I have no way to post 120 mb of pictures and no one would want to download them.  I simply don't have the space on my webhost to host even 30 mb of pictures of a single event.   So I have shrunk the pictures to a large thumbnail size and posting many of the thumbnails.
If you are interested in getting some of the ( 1600 x1200 = 400k ) originals on CD.   The 1600x1200 originals are plenty big enough to print 5x7 or even 8x10 prints or to crop and not lose resolution. 

I had to shrink the pictures to 250 pixels by 188 to get them to all fit on the web. 
The full size pictures will be on the CD,  The CD's will be $20 bucks. 
They will contain all the pictures on this page and on the links above.  I have organized them onto HTML pages on the CD.  Simply insert the CD in your PC and it will autoplay and launch the htm files.  If you see a good picture of your truck and you want it "optimized" using Photoshop let me know Ill tweak it before I burn it to CD

Send an email with Orlando FFW Pictures as the subject to Doug@SVTLightnings.com for more info on the pictures CD's.

I received an email or PM requesting a CD and requesting  that a specific picture be tweaked in Photoshop, but I have lost the info...  If this sounds familiar please send me another email.
