Rearrange some of those weeds and it will.

Kurt are you adding lots of sharpening or is that image shrinking I'm seeing

I'll stay tuned, but I think you need some more kills

Solid gray here so far, I'm yet to see this mysterious "sunset" people talk of

Discovered I have a faulty sensor.


Check this disaster out. First off, the PhotoImpactPro HDR function kinda sucks, so flame away. speednut discovered my sensor is garbage, see the streaks and spots in the sky? So tonights shoot was a waste of time. Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief for the contest.... for now.

I did the lazy thing and clicked 'enhance.' Usually it really sucks, but I thought it was okay for this one.

Someone told me 5 makes an Ace, don't want to overdo it.

Yes. That MINI photo is complete and utter garbage. It would never win the photo contest if entered...

Kurt just informed me about the January contest (thanks, Kurt). Doesn't matter since these were all taken on the 26th !



I realize this isn't a MINI, but I just had to throw it in:

Finally I have something to post here. Not as cool as an AZ sunset, but not bad for NorCal. Was giving my wife a break and took the baby for a long back country drive; she was out the whole time...zzzzz...





I'm too lazy to do any exposure blending with these. Really like the low shadow noise from the D3.

Took this photo about 15 minutes after the photos in my previous post. Thought I'd have some fun in white balance hell with warm sunset tones and cool shadows. Is the headlamp bucket blue enough for you Juan?



Wakey-Wakey Kurt!

This is my idea for this months contest. Yea don't believe that I'm normal with leaning on Swifty watching the sunset. This is my best side.

It's been awhile

Since dominating the Sunset themed contest, I haven't been much inclined to take pictures. Getting out of practice!

Wonderful sunset last night, all I had was my camera phone
