Took some time this week to give the vette a dusting off. Pesky tree sap was covering the whole front end ;( I’d say today epitomizes the love/hate relationship with black cars. Hate to wash, love to photograph ;)

Check out the ridge in this photo, where you can see all the tiny explosions in the distance (click for larger):

A nearby field and cloudy sunset made for some great HDR opportunities:

Pitch black in between bursts, the picnic area become brightly lit for the brief moment of the mortar rounds exploding:

It’s once again been a LONG time since I’ve posted here, and what better way to get back in action than a Corvette photo.  Here is a quick shot off of NW Rocky Point Rd, in Portland, OR.  Starts off a little rough, but a great shot through some twisties once you get started.  This was a three exposure HDR blend through Photomatix and Photoshop.
