I really like the white IXs with SE lips. If they had made the IX SE in white, I'd have gotten mine in white (instead of gray again, like my Evo before it). | ||

Nope, these are from this past Wednesday's Sonic meet. I didn't take a ton at MOD in Texas, the event was nowhere near as big as I expected it to be. I'm glad the main reason I went down there was eating, drinking, and shenans, because if it had been for MOD specifically I'd have been unhappy with the trip. Those pics are processed but have yet to be uploaded. They're all daytime pics, so with my lack of lenses and filters they're kinda whatever which is why I've been lazy about them. I'll get them up in the next couple days. | ||

I do plenty of touch-up on them. Things are at a point where I genuinely feel that it's a waste of my time to play around with camera settings between shots, when it's so much easier to set the aperture for desired depth of field and let the camera pick a shutter speed, since I have so many adjustments I can make to the RAW data after dumping the photos to the computer. All of them get 4-point lighting-based adjustments, from highlights to shadows, then most get color saturation adjustments as well. Nothing crazy, and nothing that couldn't be done on film with knowledge and skill. As a result, it allows me to focus largely on composing the image instead of worrying about metering exposures and doing maths. | ||

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,770 Member No.: 7,122 Joined: May 1st 2005 Location: Las Vegas | I use a similar approach (great, now I sound super hipster) but I find I tend to take multiple shots at the same angle with different settings and then see which one I like best - then further enhance it later at home |

Shooting RAW does a pretty good job of eliminating the need for multiple shots in my mind. That's not to say I don't know how to meter and properly expose a photo on the camera side though, I just think it's easier and better worth my time post-processing. And with that, the few MOD photos I published: This one belongs to Pirana, it's a fairly well known car in the community: Image size reduced, original size: 800 x 534.

Did you get to see any of these guys in action? If so did you manage to take a video of them? If so are you going to post them? |

Only car I really got to see in action was the Graphite Gray X MR whose front end is visible in the pic of the Cobb booth. Car makes 416whp on their Mustang dyno. I'll get some vids of quick Evos from MAP Proving Grounds later this month. |

Patient Zero Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,279 Member No.: 37,947 Joined: Oct 1st 2011 Location: Update Profile | Another nice round of shots Spaz! I love it! I always carry around an extra battery for may camera though since they are a pain in the butt to charge. Now a quick question. How the heck does that truck get over speed bumps? Or how does it get over dips, or pot holes, or how does it drive over anything that isn't a flat surface? |

I own 4 batteries... Somehow none were charged. Yeah, the truck's bagged. And as long as it's got an air setup, the train horns were a natural must. | ||
