OT-If you were CK

Not trying to take away his personal choice which will be correct, but if you were buying a new F800GS, would you buy White/Red or Red/Black?

If I was CK, it wouldn't really matter, because I could set the color with just the right composition and fix it in post-processing anyway.

But since I'm not as good of a photographer as him, I'd have to take the black/white with the red frame.

Speaking of composition and color correction, is that R1100S orange? It certainly doesn't look DDP like the other red ones I've seen. Or is it one of those "white/gold, black/blue" things?

I hear you. Photo processing is not one of my strengths. The 650 is a dark? red, the roadster is bright red and the S is orange or I have always said 'salmon'. Well, because dog are ah, oh, ah 'pink' and the S looks orange like some of the fish I see at the market.

Red drives me crazy in photos. My phone handles it better than my two cameras. Of course that is with me at the controls.

Doesn't matter, He will just toss her aside when he gets tired of her.


Did I mention, I just sit in the corner of the garage now collecting dust.
