I liked you night shots better than mine Mr. Hot Wheels, thanks for the
heads up on where they were posted. I learned a little by looking at
your shots. My camera was set to a "Vivid" setting on the color
saturation at the time I shot the night shots. Turn that off or back
down to normal. Mine were over saturated. Red was a problem because of
that. The red Honda that started glowing the earliest had a ton of
splotchy noise in the paint as it got darker - Yours not as much.
Overall a good learning experience for me too. Oh and I also learned
that my kit lens, a 18-55 VR lens, really really sucks at late night
rotor glowing photography. The other lens, a 70-300 VR did a much better
job (which would seem the opposite to me, but I'm goofy sometimes)
Ray, I liked the CCW shot much better. I think it is the photographers
eye that makes us like it or not. We may not all think the girl next
door is beautiful, but I don't know anyone who has ever seen Catharine
Deneuve that doesn't think she is beautiful. Some pictures appeal to
some of us, and some pictures appeal to all of us. I do like you
thoughts on the down-hill braking and up-hill steady speed. I think it
is intuitive in some ways. They both look better tilted, to me, than
straight up.

To tell you the truth, most of mine also stunk. It was an interesting
lesson in night photography. I had a couple that I sort of liked. If I
get a chance later today I'll go through and pick out something that I
like. Remember that I like strange stuff, so what I pick out most
likely will not be liked by anyone else.
Regarding pricing Larry is the one who knows the drivers, wives, girl
friends, crew members, etc. He picked up right away and identified some
of the women in my earlier posting as wives, daughters, etc. Silly old
me I just though that they were good looking ladies.

LOL! This was the type of shot that originally had us locking
up the
sharp objects when we saw Jeromy's shots from 07, I think.
I have a few of that nature that I'm pleased with, but I'm
wondering
if the tilt thing would/could improve 'em. I kept mine mostly
level:
http://www.chevyasylum.com/racing/racing2009/20090529/200905290003.html
although there are a couple that I rotated (whenever I
read/write
"tilt" I automatically think of a pinball machine and my many
hours
at one in the Enlisted Mens' club at a particular post in
Germany.) My own opinion is that I like the way the rotated
shots
came out, but I'm not sure how I would have done something like
that
with a plain vanilla panning shot, especially one that's zoomed
in so
close.
Any input would be appreciated.
