Parking Deck Shoot!

So, I've recently moved back to NC, from Boston, and have been reunited with my 8. I kept it garaged for two years and was able to drive it on trips back home... I was bored last night and found a good deck here on campus in Chapel Hill. For the photo nerds, this was the first time I had done all post work and merging in CS5. I normally use Photomatix and Lightroom but I took advantage of the Automate function in CS5 and used it's tone mapping, etc. Let me know what you think! Sony A330 18-55mm

Campus at Chapel Hill, huh? I attend NCSU, so I suppose we're sworn enemies.

Nice '8 and pics though. The lighting is good

Looking good dude! Welcome back to NC.

I really like the extended exposure on the last pic.

I've got some friends attending Chapel Hill, if I ever head up that direction I'll try and catch up with you. Make sure to check out our regional forum for meets and drives!

Tripod, timed capture with a really long exposure. I started the timer then got in and drove slowly...
