Birmingham Airport - Picture Thread

[Butty]

No apologies needed Kevin - a great shot; thanks. One of the things I like about A380 photos is when they incorporate the effect she has on others, so the crowd size and their interest in her always add to these shots for me.

I agree. I see them come over my house en route for Heathrow and they do not look like much, but when you see the size in context, they are huge. As a compact airport the size is even more prevalent at BHX.

Some more tests, regarding Flickr -

These, I took on the 25th June 2011. This was the occasion of Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao's Official Visit to Birmingham.

Yet again, I'm seeing my 1280 x 857 pixel photos reduced to 1024 x 686.

At least, I hope I'm keeping you guys entertained with the photos. My intention had been to link them at higher quality.

I'll be raising the issue with Flickr.

Regards

Kevin

I had a reply from Flickr, regarding the image size reduction. I thought it worth posting, in case anyone else has the same problem.
Here is what was said -

'Flickr never displays your originals, it only displays the sizes it generates from your originals. In your account settings you tell Flickr what the largest size should be. Those sizes are 1024, 1600, and 2048. Your original sized images have to be at LEAST those sizes for Flickr to make them, otherwise it will only make the next smaller size.

Since you're uploading 1280px images, that's too small for the 1600px size, so Flickr can just make 1024px sizes.

Upload larger images and Flickr will generate larger sizes'.

Thanks for your comments, Ray.
For older photos, should I paste them here or in the Nostalgia section?
Now that I've got my Flickr account up and running I've been looking through a few of my old pictures.
I also have to get my Nikon LS40 slide/negative scanner up and running.

You can post the older ones in both threads if you like?

We love a bit nostalgia so am looking forwards to seeing them

Cheers, Simon. Great pictures, as always.
The only item, is that the first four appear to be massively over processed/coloured. Not sure what's happened there. Not a criticism, just an observation.
