Kurt, those are some outstanding photos you've taken recently!
Glad to see you're getting more comfortable with your image editor too. Email me if you have any remix requests; some of these need to get printed!

Well... it finally rained, sort of, kinda messed up Swifty really well.
So let's try this.

I was more interested in this.

We are finally getting some rain!

Tonight nothing happened (as far as looking out the window right now ).
So, here are some Photochomped versions courtesy of speednut:



They look much better. Dave is just trying to get me to spend even more time in front of the computer.

Yet another

We have a new contributor, thanks for posting miniconcarne!

Tried a couple of different spots.



Close second.


Not ideal direction for clouds and parking position.

I almost missed this one. Not happy with the quality, or that damn transformer!

Toofer

I washed Swifty, so had to take advantage of a clean car (the #1 rule I read somewhere). This was last night:

This is the east end of abandoned alignment of 89A, zero traffic.

This morning minutes after waking up. Did alot of editing on this (I wouldn't even call it Photochopping).


Stopped by the cruise at Prescott Valley's Sonic drive-in. Snapped a few pictures between ordering and wolfing down the sustainance before heading out to 89A.

On the way out of downtown P.V. while waiting at the light...

And this morning's sunrise was interesting...

Enough bragging... shut up.

OK... I havent been on NAM lately, as I have trouble keeping track of more than 1 MINI forum at a time. So, I came back here, and I am stoked to see one of my favorite threads still alive! Props, people! You guys rock... I am hoping to get a nice new Sony DSC H5 soon after my wedding, so expect some new and improved pics of my ride!
------------------------------------------------------

BTW, Kurt.. you are still one of the most badass photographers I have ever seen. Mad props, bro!

I just thought it meant you had a close encoutner with a Riddle kid and an off kilter prop setup. (That's they're Daytona Counterparts Pitts ) Unfortunately I hve no new sunset photo to put up tongiht. And Kurt you'll find even the long experianced professional Experts over at APN still learn every time you turn the camera on.

~~~~~YAWN~~~~~

motoron: where's the sunset? Now why do you think I would like that? It still runs.

I hoped for some action this morning, but it petered out.



speednut spent some time on this shot. Thanks!


This one too.


The sun peeked through the clouds for a short time for the angle I shot the car. I have some more Swifty shots, but they need work before posting.


motor: Now this is a wreck. It's a landmark in the forest community of Walker. If I lived up this side road, I would tell you to turn left at the Pink Car (the mailbox rail is pink and says PINK CAR).
I should stalk Stoopidgirl and FutureQueenWhatsHerFace with this picture.

Okay... sunset AND a MINI!


No post processing on this at all... just lucky.

It was an okay sunset.

I woke up this morning to this, snapped 3 and went back to bed.

Nice to see you're still around MLE.
