Here's the panorama I shot on Saturday - scaled down to about 800x20,000

Right-click it, "save link as" (NOT save image as) to your computer, then you'll need to use a viewer that can view HUGE jpegs - Preview on the Mac does the trick, not sure what does on the PC.



I have limited control over how my version of Photoshop does the merge - took several tries to get it to this point. Sorry that a few of the cars have some merge artifacts... if you'd like a FULL RESOLUTION version of any of the individual cars, just let me know (PM me with your email address, and which car it is (count from one end and describe it).

Wow, you folks had a great run and great colors for pictures.

The lineup at the lake after Friday afternoon run, part one:


Another shot:


Folks at the Friday BBQ:


My roomie, MDK:


So, how much does MINI_Bee / Jack like moolah?


My new favorite shoes. But they don't come in my size...


Our small-in-stature-but-big-in-coolness Midnight Run:


Twister on a frosty morn:


Blimey in a nice autumn shot:


Only bad thing about Fontana in the Autumn is the crap the fairies leave on your car overnight. Freakin mountain fairies...

Speaking of which, did you happen upon maple cookies from thus said fairies? Rebekah saw me at the lodge and said, "Did you get the cookies I left for you with Paul?" To which I said, "Cookies? What cookies?"

Glad you and the missus are enjoying them. (Even if they were mine.) And I agree, they are the best cookies, and April wants to order some, too.

JD - don't order any. I got you covered. I just ordered a DOZEN boxes...

Shipping was gonna be hell for just a few... so I stocked up. I think I can part with a few boxes for my buddy. Even if you DO talk bad about Starbucks.

Hmm, thanks for the heads-up. I'll check it out

I tried changing it from Unlisted to Public. It may take a little while for it to become available. I'll check later and see if it works. If not... I don't know

That is frickin' awesome. Nice job Paul. I have to get the film from the Widelux developed and then make some scans, so it will be a few days for those. Gonna work on some video tonight.

When you click "related vidieos" it pulls up a groupe B rally clip-cool! I'd say the dragon is very much like a hard surface rally course.
