I found a better location last night & the "traffic" was largely a parking lot. Plus some of the drivers were much too camera aware & tried to help out by slowing down & even stopping so I could get a "better shot"! LOL!

Still, in 1GB of RAW shots, I managed to get a few that I liked. I hope you guys have better luck out there tonight.

The headlights & taillights provided a lot of light to work with, but some of these could use some NR. I think I'll shoot everything wide open tonight.

Now this is what I remember Woodward looked like on Saturday night!

Changing lanes gave me a different angle of this beauty.

Man, I would LOVE to take #2 & #4 down the track. I imagine that I would be looking at the sky for a little while :D !

:D I agree! You should have heard them from 3' away! My shirt was damp from the drooling! :D

Here's another shot I just processed with at least 5 cars from back then & no new iron in it. I don't like it as much as #6, but it could have been taken decades ago.

:D there were a few behind me & one guy was overusing his flamer exhaust, which I also missed!

I get shivers when they go by! There was a blind guy sitting there who seemed to be enjoying himself, too!

Frank, were these taken on the north bound side? Up by 14 mile?

Sweet shots, #2 is my favorite but why is the window rolled up? Must be way hot in there. I hope more are on the way, there's no cruising in this part of FL.

That's Duggan's in the background.

Sure is a great week/weekend.

Great week leading up to it. Saturday sucked. Too many posers & SUVs in the cruise lanes. The ratio was about 20 to 1.


Thanks for the comments. I'll get last nights shots up sometime today. I'm a bit burned & burned out right now. ;)

Get the new shots posted!

We're heading to the airport (in Waterford) for their open house right now. I hope they have some stuff worth shooting.
