Touche.

Last year, no..I had an internship down in Dayton and lived here. This year I will, I have an internship up in Cleveland. Why the random question?

They want to make ST_ classes all 200 treadwear. This would make the Toyos and Hankooks illegal. Since every manufacture has different ratings for treadwear, it wouldn't surprise me if they just evaluated the tires alittle differently to make it 200.

Our neighbors put up fences in the backyard after my parents had to cut down 3 coniferous trees that were threatening to fall on their house. They were on our property and it was a smart decision. We went on a vacation and a fence was up, it isn't 3' off the property line, but the city can apparently care less. They said we were invading their privacy...lol It's been bad blood ever since. They're weird.

Check your codes for housing. In out county, fences need to be 3' off your property line. It will always be fun to troll if it's an illegal fence

LOL....you never know. If you pay for my gas I'll come, it's a big reason why I won't be traveling as much as last year. I plan on going to Pro Solo at Toledo, the drivers event at OVR (SCCA membership is good til 5/31...win), and at least a Wilmington event.

Anyone want to come join May 6th in Cleveland http://noraracing.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4042

I'm using LR3, I don't know how to put the BG into a fake out of focus w/out putting the whole shot out of focus. As well with the light poles, I know they are edited out. I'm too lazy though :dumb: Seriously, I am. These are just recreational shots.

Since most summary has been mentioned, I'll throw in my 2 cents. I have a D3100 and I love it. It's a beginner, crop sensor but with decent lens it can really throw out some great shots. I have a 35mm f/1.8, kit lens (18-55) and a 55-200 f/4-5.6 I'm in love with my prime lens, and plan on picking up a 50mm f/1.8. Both can be had around $200 each, they cheapest lens that produce amazing results. The D5100 has a higher ISO range than the D3100, but if you're doing landscape I'll assume you'll use a tripod anyways so that really shouldn't matter. Here are some shots with the 35mm. Even though it's one of the cheapest cameras out there, it puts out nice shots: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7145/6608749271_f741c47d38_b.jpg Crack one open by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7002/6614084239_9b04a18446_b.jpg Reflections v.2 by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7063/6799315846_4579f410fd_b.jpg Evo Engine by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7208/6970174475_fab8eba5c8_b.jpg Thinking About Golf by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr A kit lens shot: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7008/6420399133_317614ddd4_b.jpg Into the Unknown b/w by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr And a 55-200 shot: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7171/6608306863_ce047cf139_b.jpg Maverick by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr Best of luck

Thanks Tim. I know what you mean. I was bored and tried to create a different technique in LR and I can see now it's too much. I opened it back up and did another edit. Tried to use the same technique as before but toned it down. Let me know how it is: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8162/7106047415_74f4968ca2_b.jpg E46 M3 2nd Edit by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr I would love a rig shot, but I will never use it...lol kyc, if I was to lower the shutter anyone I would be blurring the car. I was shooting at 1/40, which is really slow and difficult to stay steady in a moving car. Blurring the background of a car while you're standing still is easy. Put yourself in another car it's a different story

Is this too HDR-ish for you? Part of the same day shots: Raw: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g135/1nFeCt1oN/DSC_0085.jpg Edit: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7070/6958444418_079e761607_b.jpg E46 M3 by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr

I had to boost some clarify on a couple of shots. I am indeed using my kit lens during this. I have a 35mm f/1.8 but it was too much with my crop sensor. Thanks for the comments. I can see where you are going for the HDR.

If I'm ever in the area I'll let you know and try to get something: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8009/7104481527_f55d0bb5d5_b.jpg E46 M3 Roll by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr

I usually set my camera to Shutter Priority at around 1/40-1/60 and let the aperture be determined. The closer the car is to the camera, the more movement you will achieve to make it appear as it's moving, and not standing still. Everything else is up to interpretation.

Wow, that looks awesome! Andy is a magician, 1 stage paint looks like it's brand new.

4.0s are so damn hot. Just IMO, it seems that some of the high rollers have an ego attached to the money they spent on their cars. That's just me. You also don't talk to these people at all on any forums, so you don't know how they act. It's weird sometimes. We've all experienced it

Thanks!

Hey Guys. Went along with some friends with a drive and decided to take some rolling shots. I only have 2 edited so far, and I took a different edit that what I usually do, so C&C is appreciated, please! Thanks in Advance http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8013/6954813170_3e15575b7e_b.jpg Silver Josh Rolling by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7103/7100934569_323b83b20a_b.jpg Red Josh Rolling by M0nk3yy31, on Flickr

Yea that's huge.

Nice runs. I was there myself, just working

People think that mods always add value. Too bad that didn't work with my E46 :dumb:

Isn't it more of a pain to keep on washing your car?

My M&P40c is the same way
