300dpi is kind of a useless number. It all depends on how big they want to print the picture. My 3.2megapixel pictures are 1536 x 2048 pixels. At 300dpi, that means that you can print it at a size of approx 5" x 7"
Like Seanery says, it's really about compression. TIFF is not a compressed file format as far as I know. JPG is a compressed format (and can vary from very little compression to a lot). The sharpness of the photo is all about how much compression it has. |

Mueller, I woulda been down for lunch, but you woulda been stuck in my 914-4 Question-Liter, which (of course) is far faster than the 996 TT you rode in last time (downhill in a hurricane, anyway).
Seriously, give me a day or two's notice (best to call the main number in the front of the mag) and I'm down! 300 dpi IS useless without a sizing, and we're looking for roughly eight inches wide at 300 dpi (which is aprox. page wide). That said, send on the jpegs and smaller images (such as virtual 5x7s) because while we won't be able to open an article with them, they may make good one- and two-column shots. The CDs are definitely the way to go. I know it's a pain to mail them, but USPS is pretty efficient and my inbox has got its limitations. Brad, you can not only see the cowboy shot, you can have the original slide. I have to check it again, but I think it's good enough to do some fairly large blow-ups. Ugly is looking mighty fine. And for Jeroen, Birgit behind the wheel will be a bonus.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/burnout.gif) pete |

James and Ginger, thanks for the first two submissions! I'm gonna wait with feedback (and I'm not planning on posting it for all to see) until I get a few more....
So send 'em in. If you're like me, you may be procrastinating. So the deadline is fast approaching, and I am gonna set a Wednesday morning limit to all who are interested. Fax number is listed above... And where oh where is SLITS!?!? No favoritism, but his poems were amazing. Thanks! pete |

I have read what Slits has wrote so far and it is pretty damn good. Just wanted to tease you all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

This is a great opportunity for us and especially for those submitting articles. I'd hate to see this opportunity wasted.

I bowed out and didn't write anything - too many good cooks the kitchen. I know whatever Pete chooses it will be great.
The WCC was the result of this 914 club website. It brought together all of us. This site raises the 914 to the respectability I've always felt it deserves. The WCC showed how we are a 914 family- comprised of great people, each with our own forms of expression (stock, modified, race, show). As a group, we enjoyed touring, racing, and showing our 914s. At the end, we got to see most likely the rarest 914 on the planet in No. 4 (11). I look forward to future events and I'm damn proud to be a part of it all. Best |

Pete,
When is the deadline for pictures? I took around 70 TIFFs, so hopefully some are OK. I couldn't burn a CD earlier because a house guest screwed up the burner and also destroyed every single CD-R I had! I'm able to burn it now and I will mail it today (from the Bay Area). I hope that works, or should I overnight it? Richard |

Got Richard's photos and SLITS' text. Anyone still planning to make a submission should hurry up -- or at least let me know you're working on it and when you think you might have it done -- because I don't wanna leave anybody out of the final decision...
Many thanks to those who have already turned in their contributions -- I am hoping to have a great article on a great event! pete |
