Be sure to google search "palomar mountain photography" in a couple of days. There are a few photographers who stake out on the corners and you can find some nice action shots on their websites.

Awesome road!

How did you not rev past 5k RPM's in like 2 seconds?

I followed the manual really well. "...except in emergencies".

I had about 3 "emergencies."

But the highest I've revved was probably up to 5700 once.

Saturday: picked it up in Colorado Springs. Left Denver 3PM, got to Las Vegas at 5AM, stopped more times than I can count to admire the majestic Rocky Mountains.

Sunday: drove her home from Las Vegas.

And took this pic in the middle of Utah:

Wow, that sky exposed really well!

mav1178 · 06-17-2013, 02:36 PM

30 second exposure f/2.8 at around ISO1200... frankly, if you're in the middle of an area with zero light pollution, the skies will end up looking like that.

The car was lit up with a flashlight (I made about 2 passes with the light source over 2 seconds).

Couldve been a better shot if I wasn't pressed for time. Plus I don't know how to use Photoshop so I am not doing some HDR photo... this is as-is out of my camera, compressed on Imgur.

Edit: also, no moon helps a LOT.

I don't watch football, but at least you didn't say, "Go UVA!"

Got my windows tinted today. Went VA legal: 50% sides, 35% rear.

Sunlight from behind:

I have a little dip left over from my wheels, thinking of doing the fender strakes orange to match the wheels this week.
