I happened to be doing an errand on 89A tonight.
The sunset became more intense, but of course the batteries died.

Today's sunrise. No tall grass in background. This time had early appointment, so had to go.

This is today's sunrise. Tried a tripod. Tonight's sunrise was alright, but I guess I'm getting jaded. Anyone else getting bored with this?

And today's sunrise. Tried headlights on. Tripod is really helps. Maybe I'll get a great shot one of these days!

Do you have the flash on? It seems that the front of the bumper is lit up by something. Since you have the tripod now, try to turn off the flash and see how it comes out. The MINI will come out darker, but it will really add to the atmosphere of the picture and allow the viewer to focus on the sky more.

I do use the flash. Another member (LY domination thread) wondered why the car color didn't show. I want a profile like some of the signatures. I'm fighting the auto light meter reading the sky. I used to use an Olympus OM2, so I still think film exposure. I haven't figured out if there is a time exposure feature on this digital camera. Today I wish I had a wide fish-eye lens!

Sunrise was lame. Sunset tonight (Friday) pretty good. In the middle of cooking dinner this time.

I'm twisting two threads, again. http://www.northamericanmotoring.com...d=1#post756655
This morning's sunrise was, okay. This, believe it or not, is relevant to NAM.Don't mind the dead tree, those Easterners are hogging ALL the snow!

Missed yesterday's sunset, kind of busy.
Today's sunrise. New location, have to drive windy mountain roads and streets to get to this hilltop!

thats my favorite one so far.....i really like how you car looks in the pic
Amazing what a bath does!
I quick turned off the lights, also took a no-lights shot. If I ever learned how to make a signature, I thought flashing lights would be cool.

sunset shots are hard when you have something in the foreground. I have a few decent ones but more often then not the car is too dark. What I've been learning to do is take 2 photos, one where the sky is perfect and the other where the car is perfect. Then I photoshop them together. like this
and here's an example where I failed at a good shot
that gingerbread picture is awesome

Thank you.
I move around while I shoot, so couldn't take two. Today's sunrise worked about 180deg. around. Sometimes the flash in-fills okay, but I try without too.
I'm feeling like Mrs. Winchester, gotta do something every day!

Today's sunrise didn't happen. But the clouds appeared later. I tried a new spot, on a high ridge in a ritzy subdivision, where I had to drive nice.

Almost didn't get up this morning because it didn't look like any clouds, but surprise!
[Edit] And tonight there were clouds, thought it would be great, but was a dud. Struck out (almost) twice today.

But today the sunset was very nice. New location in a recent phase of another subdivision that doesn't have grandy-gross mansions built (yet). Turned on the hazard lights also.

wicked!
This morning's sunrise. No hint of the moisture last night! Tried a dirt cheap technology to give a dreamy aire, threw dust (we have mounds of here) in front of the car just before squeezing the shutter. Too much makes auto-focus f-up.

Be careful with dust, it can be a camera's worst enemy. That's an awesome sky.
I was UP-wind. Rally experience helps...
It is.

I took this one from my window while driving so there's no MINI in the photo but it's a sunset photo none the less. Kurt you need to leave your shutter open longer you're not taking in enough light. Next time you're down this way I'll have to give you a quick lesson.
