No time to drive anywhere, besides Swifty is filthy.

When are going to let me breathe?

Love the reflection. LAst few days have been setting up for a good sunset then the clouds roll in last second and it becomes a dark dull grey.

Stumbled across this on photo.net, its a link to photos with the theme "looking into the sun" I thought many of the images could relate to the work here.

Yay, someone else (for a change) starts a page!

benzamg: thanks for showing us your photos. Dig the ridgeline shot.


I washed Swify minutes ago, frantically dried off while watching the sky.:impatient

Points for Motor on!

Nice to see you posting on "my" thread!

I missed a killer sunset last night, but this will do:



Enough contrail clouds to make it real purdy.

My new favorite spot.

From my fog photoshoot location:










What a great morning for a sunrise (delays me moving flagstone ).

Thinking of the interior changes my usual composition.


Oh yeah, take some of the sunset...

I think someone needs to PS some rolling S-lites onto this one


But seriously excellent shot room for the MINI to "travel" and decent balance between the sky and the land.

Back to the same spot down the street.

This mornings sunrise.





This was earlier, when the color moved around to the south, I had to drive down the street..

The lack of bounced light really made the car dark tonight, despite using the flash and photochomping.

Somthing like this quick 15 minute edit?


You're making me hate my urban environment a lot lately Kurt with your fantastic sunset photos!

Actually I was think ing more like this, put the s-lites into a rotation, the back ground into a 5 pixel motion blur and keep the MINI crisp, and minimmize the flash spots ont he car with a little burn. 5 min. PS job and probably the most I've ever really edited aphoto, I think I need to go backa nd start playing with a few of mine now.

Well, I guess that's the landscape photographer in me; always setting up the camera on a tripod.

Don't forget as you're playing on your photos with a simulated pan that the foreground gets more of motion blur than the background. Have fun!

Good ol' PS

What would I do without you? Stupid me woulda let the Swifty coast in hopes of catching... never mind.:impatient

speednut: We are becoming more urban by the day. I have avoided such in my photos, but many (like most) of my locations didn't have roads a few years ago. So quit your whinin'!
