As my Mac's graphic card conveniently died as soon as I got home with about 200 photos to edit, I'm currently Photoshop-less. So that's the best you'll get out of me I suspect.

Thanks for the votes!

This is a temporary shot. I've been meaning to get out and take some snow shots this week.

In case you were wondering, they're the not entirely healthy ones (count the ears, for example) that needed taking from the field to the main farmyard.

It's not very good I know, but I don't currently have time to go and take a new photo of my parents car and I'd want it to be somewhere more interesting than the driveway.​

My work ute. Mitsubishi Triton
N95 Nokia. Oct '09

BTW. We are both on the move.​

Hmmm after looking at the photos, maybe I shouldn't enter until I get a decent camera.
A little difficult to use an SLR, whist driving in traffic though.

The Iced Vovo was sadly at the garage for the majority of the week. But its all good now! New air filter, and some new HTLs mean its singing at full song again!

Too late for a shoot though, so this is good friend and GTP member Mete001's pride and joy instead.

Final Entry



Infiniti G35 Coupe

Mosport Infield (was in a photo mood)
Canon Rebel XTi


I will close this a few hours later, as usual I may just change the times to be later as I can't close them at the time they are now.

 

[Boffin]

You have a G35? Awesome cars. 👍

Dad's car. I'm not that old.

 

[Boffin]

Its in the family, its your car. Its awesome.

 

[Spencer]

I wanted to enter but have managed to lose all my Shelby pictures somewhere on my HD

That sucks. I hope you'll find them soon.

Heh, I guess so. It's been good.

However, in the coming months I may have something better to photograph. But that's a secret, and I'm not saying anything more. (Speedster, don't tell.)

 

[Boffin]

Nice. What are you driving/learning on?

 

[LongbowX]

Nice. What are you driving/learning on?

I can drive either this or the Minivan.

 

[Boffin]

You mean the G35 or the new toy? I only drive the Iced Vovo, because we only have the one car, but I have been given it, and dad will buy a new one soon. Suprisingly nice to drive actually.

The new toy hasn't arrived yet (in fact, it hasn't even been decided ), but I can drive the G35 or the Minivan (which is not the new toy). I like Volvos, we're thinking of replacing the Minivan with a XC60.

 

[Boffin]

RICH. But do it. They look way better IRL than in the pictures I reckon. I think dad is going to get an XC70 or a Passat when I high tail it with the 850.

Oh they do. We test drove one a little while ago. We also looked at the XC70 (drove it too), but I like the XC60 more. Good luck with the 850, though you won't need it - those Volvo's are bulletproof.

 

[Boffin]

Ah ha. Not so when 260***kms have been under the wheels.

Well, I suppose not. But there are some Volvo's over million, so who knows.




Edit - This was the most activity the Photography section has had for a while.
