Figured I'd enjoy yesterdays nice weather and take some pics, but I procrastinated too long and got out to my spot a little too late. Oh well. Next time I'll park at a gas station and take pics at the pump with my phone..maybe even do some in my driveway for good measure.

Same angle, different picture, different processing...

Which, oddly enough, wasn't even my goal with the processing. I just tried to clean it up a bit and add a little depth, but I guess the steps I took ended up with a semi tilt-shiftish picture. If you guys like it, I guess it didn't turn out all that bad. Thanks :cheers:

Only 2 of the pics I took turned out decent enough to even edit....'twas too dark for my camera :(

I'm flattered...really :yes:

But the processing was accidental..I swear! If you want to know how to do it on purpose, look up "tilt shift effect" on google. There is a specific way to really do it.

I took more pics this evening and kept in mind the "right" kind of picture to use... we'll see how it goes later when I get time to try my hand at doing it again ;)

Yeah..because even 8 second Miatas are slow :rolleyes:

Funny thing is I could call your car slow as well. Come out to an AutoX and see just what I'm talking about. Yeah, I know, take my car to the strip and yes, a 13.0 car is also so don't bother point out the obvious :lmfao:
