Quite right about the wheels... stops the need to answer those embarrasing questions when it rolls off the back of the ship.

Carlos, Rich & Alan,

One of the best shots yet. Many thanks :ok:

Got it as a desktop background now. bloody good shot. :ok:

Is this the new tool for keeping caravans in the slow lane or, the neighbours cat out of the garden?

Thanks to all concerned for yet another amazing photograph.

Already I'm getting positive comments from people who've noticed it on my desktop.

At work some of my colleagues come looking each month, knowing that the pictures/calendars are worth seeing.

Thanks again!

The best as yet by far

Just a few pikkies from my travels

Hi guys,

This is my first post here although I've been visiting this forum for a while and I like the pics that I see. Right now I am not a pilot but would like to someday. Anyways here are some great shots I took while living back in Florida, the shots were taken around the Tampa Bay area and Orlando. Hope to see more great pics from you guys.

Welcome, euroastar350 to pprune, where the community is varied, and certainly not boring!

Good morning E/350

Certainly nice to see some original photos, also nice to see that you have old and dusty Hangers in your country , like most of them on this side of the pond.

Welcome to the Rotorheads forum, where you will find many people willing to explain in minute detail many things from their own wild and often very interesting careers.

My regards

Hello Euro! There certainly is a huge variety of experience on the forum. My helo time is barely into double figures, but even the tyros among us can make contributions - in my case, usually by asking naive questions. You sometimes find those questions weren't as daft as they sounded. It pays to use the search facility first, to see if it's already been answered. Mind you, after you've been following Rotorheads for a while, you'll get to know the kinds of things that have come up already.

As examples, 'how do I get started as a private / commercial helo pilot' or 'should I jack the current boring job in and try for a flying position' have been covered recently (and they keep coming up - are they using search, you wonder?). On the other hand, no-one's given us a hands-on report of the AH-64 that I can remember.

We have had our 4 days of sun and now the summer is over :(

Regards

MD :ok:

Here's one of the UH 1D of the GAF in the Alps near Salzburg.

Used photobucket...but the quality is very poor..why?

The photo was Probably submitted to Photobucket in too large of a size, so it was automatically reduced down to their specs...I have found that their reductions don't seem to maintain the original quality.

hueymeister,

i downloaded you image but it's stuffed. if you send me a copy i will fix up the size and re host it for you.

[email protected]

some of the images on this page are over 1.5 meg and really take up space and take lots of time to upload. you can still retain quality at 40 and 50 kb's if you reduce the pixel size before you reduce the dpi.

if you have photoshop 8 you can save for web at 25 - 30 kbs and keep the quality.

graeme:ok: :ok:

A few recent pictures

This one had just arrived in belly of an Air France 747, it hadn't flown for years and it was put back in flying condition is just few days by our great team of mechanics.

This 212 lifts medical supplies, and moves medical personell to remote medical clinics up in the mountains, or in remote jungle areas. It belongs to the Social Security service. Look at the blade pitch in the main and tail rotor's.

Hueymeister,

This is the copy of your photo that I hosted for you: if you want to edit your post, I'll delete this one (unless Heliport does it for us ;) )

Something about the colours that make these stand out.

To post a picture on PPRuNe, it has to be on a website already - whether your own or someone else's.
If it's not, all is not lost ...... read on.
(The instructions below are for MS Windows - I don't know the AppleMac system.)

If the picture already on a website .....
It will have an URL (the unique 'address' of that pic on the web)

Right-click on the picture and select 'Properties' - one of which is the 'URL' of the picture
Highlight and Copy the entire URL.

NB: Always highlight from the beginning (or use 'Select all') or you may not get the full URL if it's very long. The URL usually ends with '.jpg', but sometimes with '.gif' or '.bmp'.

If the picture is on your hard disk .....

Use a web photo-hosting service.

PhotoBucket seems to be the best and most reliable. It's very simple to use - and it's free. www.photobucket.com
Once you've loaded your picture on the host, it will give you the URL.

Note: Some photo-hosting services host your pics but won't allow you to link to them from another site. (eg Geocities, Tripod aren't suitable.)

OR

Send your picture to one of our volunteers - if you wish to post in Rotorheads.

John Eacott of The Helicopter Service in Melbourne [email protected]
and
imabell (Graeme Gillies of Blue Tongue Helicopter Services Queensland [email protected]

have kindly volunteered to host pics/images for people who don't have their own websites.
They'll host your picture and send you the URL.

To post your picture on PPRuNe:

Copy the URL of the picture
Begin to post as normal
Click the IMG button - http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/...nsertimage.gif - one of the buttons above the text box.
A dropdown menu will appear
Paste the entire URL into the address line as instructed
Click OK
Add some information about the picture
Repeat above procedure per picture
Submit

Size is important!
Picture width should not exceed 900 pixels MAXIMUM.
If you're emailing an image to one of the volunteers, the size of the pic/file doesn't matter because they'll resize it.
Photobucket.com has a facility to reduce the size of any pics which are too big for a web page.

Troubleshooting
At first, as with any new process involving computers, you may go through some http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...t/pc-crash.gif.

(1) Your post displays a link (not a picture)

Click the http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/buttons/edit.gif button to edit your post.
Check to see if 'URL' appears anywhere in the web address of the picture. If it's there at all, it will be there twice. Remove both.(You've used information from the URL, but those letters should not appear in the final address or you'll get a link instead of a picture.)
If all else fails ..... READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

(2) Your post displays a http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/...insertmage.gif

Click the http://www.pprune.org/forums/images/buttons/edit.gif button to edit your post.
Does the URL start with 'http' and end with jpg, bmp or gif?
There should be no spaces between [/img] at the end and [img] at the beginning.
If you've copied the URL manually instead of copying & pasting, you might have left something out. Even one letter or digit will prevent the picture from displaying.
If all else fails ..... READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.

If you can't resolve the problem:

Leave the post in place and I'll try to find and resolve the error.

Copyright claims etc
In Rotorheads, we don't allow pictures which have names (personal or business), e-mail addresses, website addresses, 'copyright' claims etc embedded in the picture.
See: Copyright Claims: Rotorheads Forum Rule
You're free to name the photographer in the text - but please don't make it an advert or you'll fall foul of the PPRuNe's strict 'No Advertising' rule.

It may seem tricky the first time but, after that, you'll find it very easy.

407 Driver,

God! I really didn't want to have anything else to do with a B407 after all day of wrestling one with the RADS equipment, it had a heavy blade and it was a PAIN to get below the limits.

But you are not a 407, so I will gladly tell you that most of my pics are taken with a Sony Cybershot DSC-717, its the best and most versatile camera know to mankind! (they should pay me for saying that!)

YOur pics are beautiful too!

Don't forget the other half, gang...
