Looks like you need some TLC in the second shot.

Last shot is the best.

The shift knob itself was pretty heavy off the shifter, but it doesn't feel as light when it's actually on. I am going to cut teh shifter down and make a short shifter one of these days.

You mean the gap between bumper and quarter panel, the paint coming off the wheels, the swirls or just being plain dirty?

yes, for a darker color car, I would expect a cleaner more reflective shine. And yeah, the swirls is what bothers me.

It's been 95+ here every day for the past few weeks. A detail is needed, but not going to happen in this weather.

As I was scrolling down the pictures, I was thinking, "Where's the HDR???" Of course it was the last one.

Oh, you know there's more coming... My desktop was giving me some problems last night so I didn't get to too many of the ones I wanted to do in HDR. All the other pics besides the graffiti one are basically untouched.

Hope so. Counterweighted heavier knobs make shifting easier and quicker.

Yea all that weight on the rear wheels will really help traction


That's how I had to transport it when I was moving and I haven't got anyone over at my new house to help me get it out. The damn thing weighs half a ton (at least it feels like it does).

GET A TRIPOD

I was just using the auto no flash mode and manual focus. I just got this a few days ago and am just learning with it.

It was a back road where behind me was just a few houses. If someone came from the front, they could get by.
