Went out with some friends to the local "dry" lakebed for some fun with our Subarus. Was a good time!

Thanks!
I'll spend a little time on post and see what I can do to improve the shot some. These are pretty much straight out of the camera.

Fun stuff!

Awesome shots... definitely what a subi's for ... i love number 3 .. maybe if you added a little fill light?

I agree with the first part, but as to "fill light", it looks good in color managed Firefox3. Those of you not using color management will see a darker, more contrasty image. See my Sig.

For sure! There was only a small patch that was wet, maybe .75 miles square, but it was enough!
Figure, if you own a car drive it the way it was meant to be driven. I've been taking mine off road since I broke the motor in.

I admire your enthusiasm, but it might be a good idea to keep a watchful eye on your brake pad wear? :D

Pretty cool stuff. Didn't know Subaru owners liked to play in the mud.

Looks like fun. They look just as good all muddy and filthy as they do fresh off the showroom floor!
