Out taking photos - wasn't supposed to take any rx8 pics, but found this one

Whilst at the Fort Lewis Cemetary, I was walking back after taking these couple shots:







Well - there IS RX8 content - I PROMISE...because just after that bench/gate shot I dropped to the pavement and snapped this shot of what LOOKS Like a toy-model RX8, eh?

Thanks! To take photos like those? Bah - you should want to be BETTER...but how to get good, I'll quote the immortal words of Allan Iverson:

"We talking about prat-tiss…Prat-tiss…What are we talking about???? Prat-tiss…"

Honestly? The car hasn't been washed since 16 May - We've had mostly rain the past two weeks. A little bump in contrast goes a long way to making a dirty silver car (or black for that matter) seem clean.

You can all have pics like that - higher dmp to take them.

I'm also convinced I need to wash the car while driving to keep it clean. BB + a steady flood of pollen and rain water is killing me. I've washed the 8 more times in the 3 weeks I've owned it than I washed the probe in 3.5 years.

3 more words: "Practice Taking Pictures"

I have SCORES of images taken from ~$300 digitals; some taken from $80 Digitals, which look VERY good.


:D

My new camera is a Canon 20D, however.

Yikes!!

I think I washed my PGT 10 time total, in 6? years of ownership. Maybe 20?

I'm not really 'in' a unit anymore - I'm a Dept of Army Civilian, working for a Corps Staff (G3). If you're in 2nd Bn, you're just across the airfield from where I work - Do you know the JAG building, near "The Flag Pole"? I work in that building - Right across from where the new guesthouse is being built.

Thanks all; glad you liked the pics.

nice shots, any photoshopping done? Did you shoot in jpeg or raw? Photography is great, but film is truly where its at. At times I regret purchasing the D70 - its just not the same as film. Nice shots none-the-less!

Heh, anyone excited about some white8 + new white FD (less than 20k miles on it) professional shots in canyons? I smell a new backround...

In technical terms, bump your fstop up and slow down the shutter speed...
