The earlier 6l PSDs had lovely head bolts and under load would let the heads lift off the block and leak coolant.

Not sure I like using the long lens.


Also trying out this H-D-R thing for the first time. All the rage with kids these days.

This looks like an "limited" dynamic range image to me... notice how theres really no 0,0,0 black or 255,255,255 white. this just looks like one exposure straight out of the camera, the crushed black in the grill and the wheels makes it look like it wasnt even brought into lightroom for some fill light.

Believe it or not youre actually looking for the amount of detail offered in this one, thats the whole point of dynamic range is to have 20-22 eV steps (fstops) instead of just maybe 11-12 offered in a jpg straight out of camera.
http://i.imgur.com/Q58XY.jpg

Its not like this shot even requires lots of dynamic range though, its a low light shot at what appears to be dusk, the 14-15 eV steps you can get out of a raw file in LR3 are more than enough (expose 1 stop beneath the white highlight on the roof, then just pull all the dark areas back in with lightroom). You can tone map a picture and say its HDR but really the only way to have a HDR photo is to have something that is impossible to capture with one exposure. If you were to shoot inside a house on a sunny day and wanted the view out the window not to be completely blown out youd have to do HDR for example.

Really any shot without a polarizer from 10am-4pm on a sunny day requires two exposures for digital cameras. Id stay away from tone mapping though.

Yeah I know its not a good example but it is done properly. I tone mapped 5 1EV bracketed RAWs and then brought the result into LR for some final tweaking.

As for no black and no white pixels, I don't think that means anything. A tonemapped image doesn't have to have pure black and white to still show a large EV range.

And comparing my final image to the 0EV image, it does look -different-. The light and dark transitions are smoother and more film like than the straight digital even if I massage it.

It's a crate 350 with a comp cam, so I guess it's a 350+. I never really had much interest in cars (my previous rides have been an 88 Nissan Sentra, a 91 Cougar and a 02 Ford Escort), but I bought this one on a whim and it's been an awesome experience. I'll paint it eventually, but the primer has really grown on me. I call her Gertrude.

It's called Flint Mica, OEM Toyota paint. It's like a purple/dark gray color with green flakes in the paint. Really pretty but like any dark color a bitch to keep clean.

Highlight of the day was running down and passing a spec racer. I can only imagine how ridiculous it must have looked to see a 4200lb station wagon behind a 1670lb race car. Also had a few fun laps running an exige cup before we hit traffic.
