I had a monopad but ditched it since I couldn't pan correctly with it. Had to go handheld. The cars were going from side to side but also from top to bottom of the frame and angling the monopod with a fence in the way wasn't working.

Photography can be a lot of fun.


Sometimes fog can be used to your advantage.


Not another pelican.


In the end, we capture what we like.

I like both versions for different reasons. I think I like your version better since it is sharper and more vibrant yet it still has the fogginess visible in the background.

OK, now I am turning in.

Caroline and I are going to figure out a day in a couple weeks to go ride in Prefumo Canyon. She is busy like me. She does basketball as well.

Film and sensors can't completely capture what your eyes actually see. Pulling up what they can't really catch is what I try to do with photoshop. There is also differences in what a monitor and reproduce and what can be printed.

The white car was cropped out of a much larger photo taken in very low dusk light.

The viola turbo was als cropped from a larger photo, and because of the sun reflections the car was originally very very dark. There are limits to how much you can push the data.

Hi all,

One day I'd like to have the time to learn more about my camera and photography.

I do like sunsets
