  • Re: Reno 2021 photo thread.

    No sport can survive without social media. Blaire Hamilton is one of the most active on social media. Promoting the heck out of IF1 and the Pumpkin. I have found when posting on Instagram I can reach thousands if they follow a hashtag I use. If I post on my FB page only a relative few see it. If I post a photo of a Ferrari or Porsche on Instagram with a #ferrari and #porsche, hundreds of thousands that follow the hashtags see that post.

    Blaire and the Pumpkin.

        I'm beginning to realize this.. Kinda' think I like the way things are here.. I'd really LIKE to get some of the old crowd to drop by, loving that Tim and Shawn have stopped by lately!

        We'll never be facebook, we'll never generate anywhere near the traffic they get.. I'm not sure how the "bigs" actually count their traffic, I'd wager they fudge a bit on the numbers... even stats are skewed by search bots.. I severely limit the amount of bot content with a file called robots.txt that disallows most and only allows limited connections per group. I suspect a lot of the traffic reported on the big social media sites are billions of bot searches...

        I knew the Internet inside and out in the early days... with the expert help of Mark Kallio, I learned how to optimize photos for dialup connections, which is what 99% of us had then. I will be the first to admit, I do not endorse or understand social media. The extent to which some people share the intimate details of their personal lives on FB astounds me! Did not mean to drag this thread off topic.. just agreeing with Tim in a sideways sort of way

        I hit post before I meant to... I wanted to say, I probably SHOULD learn how to integrate with social media more.. geez, I noticed in the control panel for this board software that there's even a facebook plugin of sorts.. (have not looked at it, just saw the option)

                I like that shot of Miss Min and the pylon. Great angle. a bit of bank and great timing for the pylon (which I think is not an IF1 pylon but looks great and appropriate in this picture). The potties are unfortunate.

                Thank you Kenn, for all this IF1 and Biplane stuff in particular.

                        That's a cool one. I like to see "group" shots like that.

                            I echo Zac on the group shot! I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like that. and I really like the way it worked out.

                            Thank you for all the :little airplane" coverage this year. It's been a pleasure to see.
