A Sunny Day in Melbourne, FL (Silver RX8)

It was a beautiful day out today, so I invited my friend who owns a Nikon F2 to take some photos. Enjoy, let me know what you think of my 8


On the waterfront...






Rotary bliss @ ~9K



Hold the shifter the entirely wrong way? Don't mind if I do!



And now the B&W roll of film...


Under a bridge






At the old, abandoned Melbourne HS





And a nice B&W of the engine bay

I'm no expert (the usual disclaimer before offering opinions about stuff I know nothing about....)

Did you take the film thru the airport x-ray machine?...... most of them look overexposed, and not in a good way.

Washed out, low contrast, I'd have to suggest he gets that Nikon fixed, soon.

The engine pic is just nasty - random wires, globs of (dust?) and that awful overexposure - look at the ECU cover!

Otherwise, nice pics.

(the first set of pics you took, when you bought it look MUCH better. Different friend/better Nikon?)

Yeah as I said, I didn't take the photos, but I do agree, they are pretty over exposed. I'll let him know.

As for under the hood, I really didn't want one under the hood because I knew it was a mess but he insisted.

And the photos I took were with my parents 7 MB Canon, but unfortunately I'm away at college.

But thanks all for the input

So I did take a couple of photos with my iPhone. Maybe they will redeem the earlier ones? Who knows! But I'll post them anyway because I don't think they can be much worse
