*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #1

Nice shot, Marc. Although if you have a blow boat and it's properly configured, you should never be stranded just 'cause the motor died.

I love B&W sports photography, it really gives the images a very different feel.

Two years ago almost to this moment we were standing in Salzburg as I took this picture. Wish I was there now instead of sitting at home dealing with a nasty cold.

nice colors Dave.

Thanks Chewy.

Nice shot, Dave. Good Rule of Thirds composition and very nice light. You might try hitting the sky and lake with the adjustment brush in ACR (or DxO if it has such a thing) and drop the exposure in those areas just a tad to bring out the detail in the sky and water without messing with the perfect light on the trees and shoreline.

Or not.

dcstep, love the lake shot

Wow, that is a fruity Sangria.

But yup, 'tis a shame. The margarita fixins are going away for the season, too. Just like the Z4 in a few weeks.

UdubBadger · 10-22-2011, 11:42 AM

yeah this time of year is bad for cars, I always have the itch to go buy an X3 or Subaru Outback about now.

That's the beauty of owning an X5 and a Z4. Best of both worlds.

My first BMW in the States was a very nice 530i. The first winter I owned it I had to drive up to our Chicago office the day after a storm. I was stuck in traffic and one of those freaking salt spreaders went by in the opposite direction and strafed the side of my gorgeous car with huge salt chunks. I hate Chicago in the winter.

Good suggestion. Actually it's within a stop of being right. That's North of the setting sun and the sky was hazy and the mountain really only shadows. I upped the contrast to define the mountains a little more, but bring that area down a stop would have also been positive I think. If Getty ever asks for it I'll touch it up.

As of now, DxO is only global, not selective. Perhaps to keep up with Lightroom they'll add some selective tools soon.

I've gotten to where I "hate" using PS.

Yep...MINI's getting ready for storage too.

Although, to make some things easier, I just bought a new Ford Edge as my winter beater.
