God Dayyummmm!!!

Thanks for the pics!

I had to work the graveyard shift and ended up sleeping all day.

Was there many problems with the cops? I heard something about a CHP crackdown. I hope everyone had a safe trip to and from the event.

I only saw one car pulled over, but there was a CHP Camaro that was sneaking around at the road rally.

We didn't have much trouble with cops on the way up or back down to SD. Not sure about the rally though since we skipped out on that.

Great shots.Those are some really hot BMW's.The new 6 with the trunk open looks like a Porche(the side rear)

[supster]

By the way, nice shots SDSilverM3.

What camera/lens/ISO/shutter speed were you using?

For some reason my pictures came out pretty shitty, the coloring is terrible and the light reflections suck too.

My friend was taking the pictures on a Rebel, and I'm pretty sure he had it on Auto.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm using a Canon Powershot Pro1. It's not an SLR so I'm stuck with whatever lens it comes with. The ISO speed on all of them are at ISO50 and shutter speed varies. I shoot most of my pictures during the day on Av mode at F4.0 aperture. I let the camera decide the shutter speed. F4.0 on my camera seems to be the sweet spot for clarity.

It looks like your white balance is a little off. It appears to have too much blue. You might be able to correct it using Photoshop's warming filter/color balance. In the future make sure you either white balance the camera or shoot RAW so it can be corrected later on. Other than the color, you've got some nice shots

More as promised. Sorry these pics didn't come out as good since I was running out of memory card space and had to reduce resolution .

[Don Nguyen]

[The-Great-328ic]
