This one has minimal post processing, basically I brightened up the front grille of the car (lights, air scoop, logo).

No filters or polarizers, the photo was taken this morning...anyone recognize where?

Good guess, but no.

I loved the 20D when I had my two.

There are a few of those cars in the UK, but very few have had the RHD conversion.

That is true. I remember seeing one just after the first Back to the future was aired on TV. I saw it once and never again.

I was soooo convinced that it time travelled. :lol:

So, being from London, I assume you're not going to try to guess where the photo was taken? ;)

So you didn't get the optional 'Flux Capacitor'?

You're good, Joe. Dead on.

I know a person that has converted their car to a "prop" car. They can't get to the engine compartment for 15 minutes while they take all the stuff off the envine cover. That's not something I'd choose to do with my car but hey, whatever floats your boat.

Flux Capacitors are about $250 from a private company. Several owners I know have them just to stave off the inevitable questions at gas stations.

By the way, Joe, that's an awesome photo, obviously taken at sunrise. Kudos for getting up that early. Did you add saturation to the picture or was that OOC?

Nope the only thing I had to fiddle with was brightening up the shadow areas. At the time I didn't have a GND filter set yet. I lived in "The Springs" for 20 yrs then in 2002 I moved to the Pacific NorthWest.

If you pay attention to cars ads you'll see GofG used in alot of them for a location.
