haha. Yeah, that's how I roll now. Sideline guy, documenting things. But that evo I do get to drive a lot. If we go to the track he's forcing me to make passes....I kept saying no but he insisted

I used to be the center of attention

I love.........cake.

thanks as always for the props Jeremy!

well, idk. Mine has always been sort of random, because I usually only chill in 'random' or chatterbox type forums now. plus, I named my thread to be about shit I do more than shit I do to the car....which is now gone.

Anil, Ty, J...they all helped push me to start the dive into pro photo work, so I sort of feel obligated to keep them in the loop as well.

If you want, go ahead. You see one of mine in here and have something similar, post it here for all I care. It's fun to see similar shots through different eyes and in different places

Or just ask a mod to change your thread title so it can't be called off topic

Nice nature pics, but you need a zooooom.

btw, I'm too lazy to go back and read, so give me the cliffs notes. How's the car hunt? Did you get a Macbook Pro?

I was using a 55-200, on a D sensor that's 300mm for all these shots John. The ones of the robin and ducks, those I was within 20 feet of them, the black bird shots were farrrrrrrr away. I couldn't get out to them...This was all over about a 5 mile walk too.

cliffs, no MBP yet. Everyone thinks within about 2 months there will be updates so I'm going to wait.

car shit, I think I'm gonna continue to be carless until I start to lose my mind, aka the longest possible time. I sort of want to just say fuckit and get an 80's motorcycle for a summer toy/get-around vehicle when I can't loan a car from the family.

Yeah, the rumor is that the new MBP's will be announced at the WWDC next month. Can't wait. Sorry for the mis-assumption on the lens! I thought you were using the 50mm. I never got into nature/animal photography, but it is an interesting genre. Good luck with the car. No need for an 80's bike...you can get much newer ones for cheap. Hell, brand new Ninja 250's are only like $3500 brand new...find a used one for the same price as a MBP lol.

I'm pretty sure the speed limits by my house are higher than the top speed of a 250 LOL.

I'd rather the old, have a little fixer. and a bigger block.

Love that last shot.

Are you editing these at all? I feel like a few of them are a bit unsaturated and dark.

no edits in probably 5 pages Tyler, these have all been straight from the camera to here.

I know, a lot are undersaturated. I didn't have time to mess with the dials when the birds were around.

What! Those 250's will fly...they weigh nothing. You really want a fixxer if it's your only means of transportation? Find a gently used Aprilia RS250:

lol "on a budget"? New R1's are almost $12k! Now's a bad time to buy a bike anyway...better to buy at the end of the season or in the dead of winter.

Veggie, I've added an "Updated" to your title. You've been doing so much, I thought you would want it on there.
