Matt's (ImagoX) MOTD Pics... (56k warning)

Some of the better pics... the "action shots" on the Dragon were done by my daughter, Raven (15) - I think she did pretty well (under my expert tutelage, of course).

Here we are on the trailer in Ohio, ready to depart... trailering was just fine, even on the Dragon.



The dash in the "Faux Cooper" at departure...



The opening parade on Friday:















The tree of shame:



Cool dragon flames...



The drive-in movie...



Up on the dam while the MINIs assemble for the panoramic photo:



The ice-cream run - it was very soggy and cramped, but despite the rain everyone was in a great mood and signed one of our shirts for the shop:





The Midnight Run was exceedingly cool!















Nano showing off in the Midnight parking lot.



The next morning Raven and I got up early for one final run - the weather was incredible...



On the overlook on the last run...



I'm already looking forward to next year! Hope everyone had a safe, uneventful trip home!

-Matt

Great pics, your daughter has a gift for photography. Next year I'll have to hire her for a day since I came home and realized I'd taken a total of 6 pictures the entire time!
Thanks for the lighting clinic. I've been on ebay searching for lights already!
Til next year,
Annette

Nice pictures Matt. Raven did a great job.

Hey Raven, dad needs to buy you your very own shiny new DSLR.

I got to check out your car at the General Store gathering for Midnight on the Dragon. I loved the lighting that you've done to it

Very nice pics. Raven's copilot shot from the last run is AWESOME.

Dam shot is pretty darn cool, too.

Can you pick out Blimey? I can.

Matt - awesome pics... thanks....

for some reason, i kept forgetting my camera the entire weekend! i was a passenger on the midnight run and hoped to find some great pictures of the bonnets up... these are very cool and capture the mood wonderfully.

I also love the co-pilot shot with your hood in frame (this looks like a calendar winner to me) and agree.... raven has a great eye/talent!

Great pics! I was another person who kept forgetting to take the camera, or if I had it, forgot to take pics.








(BTW, cool grill badge!)
