So. I have a 3 day weekend with lots of photography time on my hands. Suggestions? Anyone want to meet up somewhere? Anything interesting happening in the next 3 days?

On Sun I'll be at the NHRA finals in Pomona. I was planning on also going today to try and get a nice nitro explosion under the lights but according to the schedule the nitro cars last qualifying runs started at 3:30(so it would have been done before it got dark) plus I had a customer call this morning.

300+mph is good practice for panning.

That's some nice clouds there. Photo may need a bit of post-processing though. Lighter exposure, contrast, shadows, etc. If you don't mind me offering critique.

I don't mind critique at all! C&C away. Only way I can get better is if I get other people's opinions and feedbacks.

Below is the original (and how dark it really was outside my window).

If you go ahead and turn "Image editing ok" in your profile, I can go ahead and take a stab and tweaking your image.

tweak away :)

My original intent was not to bring the shadows up too much because I wanted to draw people's attention more to the clouds and the sky.

Hey Pat.

Tried hitting up the Orange sunset this evening. Didn't think I came up with anything that great. And discovered (thanks to f/22) a buttload of sensor spots and muck on my T3i. So now spending some time cleaning it. Bleh.

Cars and Coffee looks fun. I recognize that GT40! Shot it a few times at the Yorba Linda car show a few weeks back.

^^ hehehe don't we all have those pesky bunnies on our sensor. Hope you had a good sunset shoot. I didn't bother tonight as I was finishing a case study for my project at work. Anyways, I might be heading to HB tomorrow for a morning free surf shoot and if you fellas are not doing anything the swell is in fair condition as forecast. ^^

More from this morning foggy cars & coffee, Irvine...

Some real nice shots you got there, Pat!

Sunset was alright. Like I said, I didn't get as much out of it as I wanted. An ND or GND woulda helped a lot. Without it, I meter for the sky and end up with a dark mass below that has little to no interest.

Some shots, SOOC:

I think my fave is the telephoto shot (at 200, on a crop sensor!)
