2009 Norcross Car Show photos - Picasa experiment!

[Tarzanman]

I went to the Norcross Car Show this past weekend and snapped a few photos.

I decided to give Google Picasa a try to see how it handles web photo galleries.

The Norcross Car show is held in downtown Norcross, only about 2-3 streets worth of cars, but a lot of nice stuff to look at. Definitely a change of pace from the urban/ricer stuff (Shelby Mustang = drool!)

Enjoy!

Oh yeah... if anyone wants bigger version of any of those photos (like that phat Shelby!), then let me know.

I use picasa for ALL of my large galleries.

My only complaint is that I wish it were easier to post the pics on forums. It can be done, but its difficult.

[Tarzanman]

The problem with posting on forums is that most people don't bother creating thumbnails.

Even with cable modem, opening a thread that has a dozen 1200+ pixel images in it is an unwelcome surprise.

I have decided that I don't like Picasa all that much. Its all-or-nothing with it... either you give it complete domain over your image folders or copies of your image folders. I can't point to a subfolder on a different drive and say "use that as an album".

It wants to import everything first. Lame. I am also not thrilled with the web interface so far.

No No... you can pick and choose which folders you want as galleries. Its in the settings to manually import into picasa.

I do it all the time.

[Tarzanman]

I think it still creates a copy of that folder if its not a subfolder within the set 'master' folder that you give to picasa.

I'll check later when I get home. Still not impressed with it, though. I'm going to try smugmug next.
