Just a few last minute shots of my car I took in the middle of those sunrise shots a couple weeks ago. Nothin' special. I should do a real shoot with it sometime. I'd like to try some HDR sometime, too.
BTW that's all corn in the background. I live in the middle of thousands of acres of corn.

This is one of the very few pictures I got there.

Thanks drigo!
Yea, the 3rd is my favorite, 2nd one is my second favorite.
I didn't really like the one next to the building. I might have got some better shots at the tower had I not been told to not take pictures of the building. lol

I definitely want to try some HDR...I might try the conventional method first (3 pictures), then using 1 RAW to compare.
EDIT: When I said the quality went down, I didn't mean you suck. lol Part of it is that the picture is I'm guessing a JPG once I hosted it, so it doesn't really work as well...nothing that you did.

I just think I figured out something somewhat 
Is photomatix one of the only programs you can do HDR in??
You can't do them in apps like LR or Capture or Aperture or PS??
You have to have Photomatix or CS2 or CS3??

A few of the more interesting cars I saw yesterday at an event called Hotrod-A-Rama, in Tacoma, WA. This kind of hot rod is called a Rat Rod, and most are of the less polished variety than you see at a lot of shows. It was a fun event, and a lot of people dressed up in the 1950's greaser style. Good music, cool cars, cold beer and cute girls make for a fun time. 
A 50's era Indy racer:
And the obligatory hottie shot

ps did you get to hear any of those cars fire up?? I'm so amazed by the sounds of hot-rods.. and not to mention the full-out old drag cars I used to see when I used to drag-race. I mean the kind where when they're lined up behind you, you can't even hear your car, which has straight exhaust and no cats.. lol. The kind that shake the whole supporting structures when they rev.
