I hope you will be able to give a bit of narrative on each poster.

Mark

That would be cool... all 26,000 posters... I'll grab me a box of crisps and start the reading

I'm not French Steve, but there will be a fair few...

And yes Mark, I'll be adding any relevant info as I'd like to think the site will help people interested in British posters.

.02, something to keep in mind here.

People will browse everything once, then you want to hit what has been added since you last looked. Not look through 50 pages again to see 2 posters added.

Thierry and Ed implement this perfectly in their own ways.

When you are selling you have pretty much have the same audience, but they are coming to the site for different reasons.

I really think this is the absolute best organization method for a collector site. Just have search/sort facilities that can be added as time allows.

Thanks Dale, I'll make sure he has that facility added.

My plan just to get it up and running is to put a couple of hundred posters on, and then keep adding in blocks of 50-100 as I work my way through all the ones I have.

We have another bank holiday coming up in a few weeks, I hope to get the garage sorted out by then....fingers crossed.

How many posters do you have, in total, Paul? (even a ballpark number?).

paul waines · « **Reply #30 on:** May 12, 2015, 03:59:00 PM »

I wish I knew Jeff....

If I count in everything, around 3000-4000?? not all Quads, but mostly..

Here's a tip Mr. Waines - do not take polaroid photos

paul waines · « **Reply #35 on:** May 15, 2015, 01:12:27 AM »

Polaroid!!..... I don't have the money for those new fangled things..

Though I am stock piling magnesium for the shoot...

I'm afraid to ask where your "tash" is, Mr Waines.

paul waines · « **Reply #42 on:** May 17, 2015, 02:11:50 PM »

Don't worry Jeff, it's under my nose....

erik1925 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 17, 2015, 02:48:58 PM »

Somewhere...

Good to know, Paul.

Three to four thousand posters Paul?! Dear god, if I'd have collected that many, two things would have happened by now.

1. My house would have been repossessed and I would be living in a tent made of linen-backed Victoriana.
2. My wife would have had me disposed of and my posters burnt - or she would have had me burnt and my posters disposed of.

You either have a very understanding wife or a very understanding bank manager...or both. Unless of course you married your bank manager?

paul waines · « **Reply #45 on:** May 17, 2015, 03:29:20 PM »

I don't fancy my Bank Manager.... Tis a good idea though..

Yvonne is very encouraging of my affliction... as it helps her get what she wants....

paul waines · « **Reply #46 on:** May 30, 2015, 12:24:13 PM »

OK, messing around with my photography set up. Are these good enough, image-wise to use on the website?

erik1925 · « **Reply #47 on:** May 30, 2015, 12:44:31 PM »

Looking good, Paul.

What kind of flash or lighting setup are you using?

paul waines · « **Reply #48 on:** May 30, 2015, 01:02:35 PM »

Thanks Jeff,

I'm using two flashes, one each side, and well back. I need to get the Garage tidier, as it will give me more room to try different angles etc..

New posters are a sod, which is why I need the room... I'll post some pics shortly.

Sounds good, Paul and really nice shots!

Have you also done the camera white balance? The last thing you want are images that all could have a very slightly blue (outdoor) cast to them, if either the white balance or flash setting wasn't quite right.
