Panoramic Fun

Carpark, Sendai, Japan

Spot my ride! (: Taken w/ iPhone 3GS
One of the things I love about Japan is everyone prefers REVERSE PARKING!
Safer and saves time!

Pano is a really fun app on the iPhone, it stitches up easily too!
Cross process was edited with the Camera+ app
Was using Cropulator to resize these panoramic images, so I could blog on the go with the WordPress app, but while uploading the edited version (which was resized in Cropulator to a width of 950 for my layout), WordPress did not acknowledge that

It only gave me the option to upload to the preset sizes of Small (240×180) / Medium (480×360) / Large (640×480) and Original (2048×1536) thus stretching my re-sized picture to those dimensions
I also tried specifying the height and width tags in the html code but with no luck, because the images were all stretched / distorted during the conversion by WordPress which is very odd

I hope WordPress can fix this issue and upload my re-sized picture correctly otherwise higher compression would be adequate (a normal iPhone image uploaded as Medium compressed to around 350kb, that’s kinda big for 480 x 360 and 240 x 180 is way too small for blogging content)

Oh well, maybe it’s a bug! I will look for a solution and update on it
Meanwhile, back to resizing on the Mac w/ Photoshop

Toyota Altezza photo shoot

Photo shoot with Robinson’s Toyota Altezza! Just cause I like white cars~ *lurve*

This is on the 2nd floor of Westfield mall at Riccarton, Christchurch
We sneaked up using the outgoing lane so we could have a quiet session, car park was pretty empty and there was no distractions whatsoever *yey*

*angelic*

Shot of the sexy rear light

The Altezza bringing SEXY back

Got my one way ticket… to the blues

Does this look abstract and death defying ?

What happens when you put 2 girls, a guy and a trolley?
Ok… I’ll confess… we spent most of our time fooling around in a Pak’n Save trolley under long exposure *LOL* (with the lights and music on)

until… the battery went flat puwahahha!

The Trolley Aftermath -_-||

Many thanks to a Brazilian couple (who was in NZ for a holiday with their rental car) tried to jump start the Altezza, it worked the 1st time… thanks to me for turning off the engine, it could not work the 2nd time or any more LOL


Here you will find a tipsy Angeline on a Saturday night

Waited a wee while for our lovely friends KING + Angeline to come rescue us and then we were off to Coyotes for clubbing! we went hard out dancing through the night… SOBER STYLE! thank you Reuben and Augustine as well for trying to rescue us <3
