XTreme Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I've now relocated BOTM to the right hand column. This means that going forward we'll be able to use the actual pic you submit rather than what fits. My boy hasn't done the new header yet so I've found an image which I think really suits the site. What do you reckon? My idea is to give a choice of headers when the other one is done! So you can choose which header you want, the default one as above, or the personalised one with members' bikes. You don't get this shit on Buttrider you know.......I think they've used the same pic for 20 years! Tell 'em @Tym 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may as well scream, JUST ANOTHER WANNABEE FORUM FULL OF WHITE COLLAR DREAMERS. What sort of image (if I can find one) would you suggest Bruce?

XTreme Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 I can't go round nicking pics.....I need a hi quality long range shot minimum of 1920 width. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the bike that's important it's what it represents.......and where I agree Ted's Triumph is the real deal the vast majority of people on Adv bikes have never heard of him.

Pedro Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I see how that doesn't work, but the one currently there is too much "sales brochure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone's got something like that (and we know who hasn't) then try and set up a photo shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For dignity, can we at least wait for the snow to go since size matters at 1920 something or other Absolutely Bruce! But can I emphasise that pics of you sprawled out naked on your boat cannot be considered. Unless the members insist they want a naked Bruce in the header of course! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were taken in 2017 on an older i phone using the panoramic feature the new phone will be a lot better now i know what your looking for. Trouble is the pano view tends to bend the image like this one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll need some serious bit of kit to get a distance shot that retains the sharpness......I doubt if a standard phone camera will be up to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooN Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 ill have a look through wat I've got. Due to me being a moron can you confirm the size you need and that you're talking pixels width and height? that'll save me wasting your time proposing stuff that won't fit. I imagine I won't have anything high res enough but it's worth looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
