Some photos from the Bay area, with a twist.

Do you like seeing trip reports this way, or is it annoying? Sure was fun to put together... :)

That's cool! Would you show me how to do that? ;)

[telynor.livejournal.com]

Sure; it's quite simple. I did it with an application called comic life, which is available for the macintosh.

Very cool. I feel the need for my own copy for the laptop now!

This is a great way to do trip reports - the only comment against it is that it takes about three clicks-through to get the pictures big enough to see them, but that may be the way my browser handles them.

[telynor.livejournal.com]

No; everybody's had to do that. With the next one, I'll experiment with not using LJ Scrapbook as the image storage point and put them into my own web space, which will let me link to the full size images.

Yup, I have to click through several pages to get them big enough too.

Worth it though - they're kind of cool

Wow, that is soooo cool :) Gotta nag Steve to get that for his Mac *g*

Thought it might be Comic Life. It's very cool, though I haven't had the time to play with it.

THAT ROCKS!!!!!!

I saw Becca's photos too. Looks like you had a good time. :)

There's something about really tall trees that's absolutely awesome. Largest trees I've seen are the Tingle trees near Walpole in the South of Western Australia. Not quite up to Redwood scale, but still way past anything here in the UK.

Intriguing. I had to click through to the full-sized pages before my ancient eyes could actually read the captions, but it's pretty cool.

[hrrunka]

...and my ancient eyes really struggled with the annotations on the tree rings even then, but yeah, it's a fun way to present a trip report. ;)

You're way ahead of me if you could read them at all.

They weren't big enough even after I'd clicked throguh to the biggest size.

*nod* I'll definitely experiment with uploading them to my web space first.

[bardling.livejournal.com]

Fun idea, but yes, 3 or so click throughs and I also couldn't read all of the tree ring inscriptions. Lack of a big enough screen...
Also... is this instead of in addition to your usual written ones? 'Cause I miss the written ones, too. These are both ore eloquent in some ways (picture=100words? ;) but also less eloquent at the same time. I can see what there was, but get much less sense of your experience of it.
OTOH -those are fantastic trees/is a fantastic wood!

[hrrunka]

Oh, some of that may be down to my having a relatively large flat-screen monitor which makes for nice crisp images, and a bit of guess-work. ;)

[songwind.livejournal.com]

It's a very neat presentation. The problem is that the pics are too small to read as they stand in your post, but clicking them takes you to another page where they are just as small so you have to click them again. That's less than thrilling. Not a big deal or anything. :)

I could have uploaded the pictures to my web space and linked that way, but ljscrapbook is just so easy. :)

[mdlbear]

The right thing is probably to inline the images from ljscrapbook, but make them link directly to the full-sized versions. Probably requires a different LJ client, so it wouldn't be as convenient.

I occasionally get frustrated with LJ.

[cadhla.livejournal.com]

That is ADORABLE.

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

that's amazingly cool!

[kibbles.livejournal.com]

How cute! I want that program!

[porpentine.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is so cool!
