Hello fellow hambers, Here at ccs one of the transportation design classes has been designing a bonneville car for the year 2015 most of the designs blow but a couple are good one of which is my friends. He wants to use some black and white pictures of the salt flats with a car or two on it, the thing is that they need to be high res so that he can blow them up to around 13" by 19" for his image boards they are going to just be background ghost images I guess so they don't have to be super nice but still pretty good. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Brent
Does it have to be Bonneville? There are some good salt lake race pics here, http://www.dlra.org.au/ Doc.
Getty won't give you more than a low res for a comp unless you pay the dough - and that can get expensive, esp. if it's a rights managed image. You might luck out with Google? You can narrow the search to larger images. If it's only a background you could bump the resolution and add a subtle effect to help hide the trash.
I know this isnt what you asked but i was at barnes and noble, and they have a drylakes race book in the auto section really good photos....
lessee here...I have this same shot at 182 KB if it's of any interest. I'd be happy to send it via email...
I got some big images from a couple of years ago on a CD. Remind me tomorrow and I'll figure out a way to get 'em to ya.
thanks keep them coming if you can he would like to have a decent selection so that he can use the best
Ask Cword....he has a ton of hi-res shots. I have a copy of the same disc but I can't let you use it until he sez cool(his stuff)
Ya know, I did a Google Earth. How large do ya need it? You can download google earth and get right down to your front lawn if you like.
1. I supplied a large number of photo's to the DLRA site.... 2. I'f you do a search, there are alot of photos availible, depending on exactly what your mate wants to see, I might be able to help him out(for free)......I've photographed both here in Oz, as well as in B'ville last year so I might have something suitable, but I'd really preffer to hear about what he want to see as I'm not going to spoonfeed.... Here's one from last Speedweek...
Take your pick - you can easily convert them to b&w for your uses..... http://www.landracing.net/cgi-bin/pro/emAlbum.cgi?c=show_album;p=Bonneville%20Speedweek
It reminds me of heading to "Paradise rd" in American Graffiti.I can just hear Booker "T" and the M.G.s playing "Green Onions" and Wolfman Jack howlin' in the background! Oh yeah! R.R.
AMEN to that !!! Probably my favorite photo from the HAMB. WHo " owns" that pic , anybody know? A large poster would be incredible. Steve
I've got quite a few vintage photos from the Unocal archives and some from my collections. Here's a few. All are available in higher resolution versions.
