Nice...my wife and I started looking at these as a replacement for the MINI.

They are sweet cars.

Wasn't my car, but I'd say it's best off as a weekend car if you have a more comfortable alternative to use daily...LOL

I just don't fit though

Exactly what it would be...MINI's not much more in the room department.

I just have a hard time justifying the cost for a 4 banger. In reality, that's Cobra territory cost wise. But, I do like that you don't see many...

Wow, fantastic shots.

Chewy734 · 04-12-2012, 10:29 AM

sick shots!

vachss · 04-12-2012, 07:06 PM

I love that shot of Taipei. Was it an HDR or was there just enough ambient light to illuminate the roofs like that? Really well done regardless.

SaMaster14 · 04-12-2012, 07:11 PM

Not that great, but here are a couple from Palm Springs

Thanks. Not an HDR, but it sure looks like one I would've processed with photomatix. It's been enhanced solely in LR4.

That skyline shot of SF is great! If you don't mind me asking, what kind of settings/lens did you use for it?

TL · 04-12-2012, 11:41 PM

well done Rob

bosstones · 04-26-2012, 12:53 AM

Ha! Just saw that shot on your Flickr, Tim. Awesome shot.

From January of this year....more Millennium Park fare....I think I'm obsessed w/ the pavilion there. Too much yellow cast in this one? Something seems slightly off.....shouldn't be doing this while I'm sleepy.

Chewy734 · 04-26-2012, 08:17 AM

something's weird about that photo Tim. Too much jpeg compression or high ISO noise (in the water, and the green area in the bottom right)? Maybe I'm just seeing things... I think you could've done better with the shot, since the flare blocks the building. Also, you could've done something slick with your sig and the curved walkway. See... this is what happens when you raise the bar on your previous night shots; I'm forced to focus on the smallest things.

Sick shot Jeff! What lens did you use? 14 blades?

dcstep · 04-26-2012, 09:33 AM

Jeff, was it a little breezy at the Pavillion? I think there might have been slight camera movement during your long exposure. At f/22, I'd expect sharper detail than you getting. It looks good, but I'd expect more pop from deep DOF and ultra sharpness.

Actually lenses are overall sharper at their middle f-stop, and sharpness drops at larger/smaller apertures. So, assuming this was an f/2.8 lens it would be at ~f/8.
