as you can see the exhaust stops just about the middle of the front fender. so all the exhaust is being expelled to the underside of the car. what is happening particularly in this picture is the exhaust is burning outside of the engine in the pipe. The degree and grind of the cam lobe tells when to open the exhaust valve and light the A/F mixture. In this case it is also a nitrous car, so the exhaust is much more visible with the tune up he has in the car while the nitrous is activated. As it burns a lot hotter than if it were on fuel alone. Also the number of nitrous kits the car has also effects this, which i believe he has 2 on here. That is as simple as i can put it.

Thanks for the clarification! Makes sense..

Awesome shots. what did you use, and what were the settings for the last one in particular. And what kind of possessing was done to it? All 3 are frame worthy in my book.

Side note; that new benz is super sexy

Beautiful post processing job. Great image quality -

Thanks Dom and Cromsonblack!

I used a 10-22 on the first image, and a 17-55 IS on the last 2 shots, B+W CPL on all of them.

Last shot EXIF: 38mm, 1/250, f/2.8, ISO 100, not much PP done to it really, I cropped it a bit, and upped the contrast, that's about all.

And yeah, I'll have to agree, the SLS is pretty freakin nice in person. I still don't like it though, just for what it sets out to do, and how much it fails at doing it. Its suppossed to be a modern representation of one of the most perfect and beautiful cars of all time, and it certainly falls short of being perfect as the proportions are all wrong and the back is too square for the rounded and nicely shaped front, etc. As a car NOT being compared to the 60's 300SL, its quite nice looking.

Gorgeous picture. I love the grass!

Beautiful day at the beach. Was in the upper 80's the other day here in Los Angeles so I went to the beach to take some shots.

Using 70-200 f/4IS

Canon 50D + Canon 70-200 F4 L IS (70% crop)

wow, nice shot stefano!

I should be getting this camera soon, then hopefully I can join in!

Good choice I hope, looks like it!

first shot from today with the 15-85mm IS USM:

Well, first post. Got my 50D about a month ago. Switched from that other brand. Loving it so far. Only have the EFS 18-200, 50mm f1.8 and a 28-70 f2.8 L. Got my eye on a 70-200 f2.8L once the prices drop on the older versions with IS.

I have shot mostly sports (my son's wrestling) but there were floods around here (Northern NJ) over the weekend and I got out and shot a lot. Not nearly as good as what I'm seeing here but here are a few...

Yeah, it was pretty bad around here. Our power was out for quite a while. We were laying in bed Saturday night--during the height of the wind part of the storm--and a gust blew and literally shook the house! I thought one of the trees in our yard was going to come down, luckily none did.

Here are some shots of what is usually little more than a trickle (well, maybe not literally but you could walk across this usually):
