Mulholland Drive this Weekend? (And, uh, 10 pictures of my car)
I was up doing the Stunt Road/Mulholland Highway run, today, and it occurred to me: it's been a while since we did a weekend morning Malibu run. Anyone up for it? Saturday the 16th or Sunday the 17th?
And while I was up there, I pulled over as the sun set over Stunt Road. Ten Pictures (You can click any of the thumbnails for a larger version of the picture.) Artistic shot:  I stopped as the sun was just setting:

   This one makes it clear how the underside of the car is improved, aerodynamically, by a slight rake.  And a self-portrait, as is my habit:

But pictures aside, I'm interested in finding out if anyone wants to do a morning run.

Jack, nice pics (as always)
I like the artistic one. On a digital camera, how do you get the background out of focus? It's by focusing on the object that's close, but how? Is it on "macro" setting? Do you "lock on" the object w/ a particular spot on the viewfinder? Do you achieve that w/ certain aperture settings?
