Post your CE 04 pics

Seems about time there was a photo thread for a little more atmosphere and vicarious enjoyment, particularly now winter approaches (at least here in the northern hemisphere).

Here is one I took as I returned home from a recent expedition. When I turn off from the main road up-top, I come down through the woods before dropping down into the village. This spot has a fantastic view up to the high moors… when you look in the opposite direction

Here is mine, still at the dealer. Get later this month.

It will be worth the wait. When you crack the throttle open for the first time, even in ‘Eco’, you will be more than somewhat amused…

While on topic, does anyone else struggle uploading pics to this forum? There must be a list of criteria somewhere, but it’s still very much trial and error for me :-(

BTW I must also credit @triangletom for all the pics he has previously posted, including entire threads! His pics are one of the things that made up my mind on purchase. No regrets so far at all…

This forum limits picture size to a very old-timey 1 MB.

If you have a Mac I can give you some suggestions regarding reducing pic size while maintaining reasonable quality. If you have Windows or some other O/S, someone else will have to chime in.

I will keep images below 1024px max dimension and that should do it.

Agreed, that’s definitely old school in terms of what even the most basic smart phone is now capable of…

Well, the dimensions can be larger than that, but that's one approach.

When I post pics here, I do some experimentation, For instance, the way I have my phone set up, my default pics are 4032 x 2268 x 24. (That's a 16 x 9 ratio pic.) I just looked at a recent one, and my Mac lists it as 2.7 MB (but pic sizes will of course vary a bit).

Now, if I use some software that I often use (in my case, XnViewMP) and resize it by half -- 2016 x 1134 -- it results, for that particular image, in a nice clear pic with a size of 422 KB, i.e., less than half the limit here. Here's that resized pic (I was discussing the rear seat on my Royal Enfield in an email exchange with someone):



Note also that the limit here is not completely old-school, old-timey, etc. If you've ever put up a video on YouTube (at least the free YT account that I have), you know that there's a thumbnail/initial screen that YT requires. It will do this itself by default, i.e., pick some "cel" in the video by some formula, and go with that. I'm talking about what you might call an "album cover" if we were talking about LPs.

However, if you want to add the thumbnail/initial view yourself -- typically, pick some screen grab from the video -- you will get an error if that image is too large: the error message states that the max size for the "album cover" type of thing is ... 1 MB! (Unlike this forum, YT actually allows you to go larger, approaching 2 MB, but that's the error message you get.)

EDIT ADDITION:

I just realized that XnViewMP, the software that I mentioned, is also available for Windows (and UNIX). It's free for non-commercial use, and I've been using it for years (on my Mac) for basic photo editing, such as cropping and resizing. Highly recommended (especially at that price):

Not the Sexiest of Locations, next to Costa at the local mall. Promise the next location will be better (won't be hard ).

Nice colour – not available when I bought mine… good choice with the seat too, the so-called ‘comfort’ seats seem to be anything but for some riders

Excellent: front wheel straight, bike off to the side, good background scenery!

Good autumnal (Fall) photo! The number 5 must be significant…?

Yes. Usually put my kids numbers from the sport they are playing

Good setting for the pic.
