I will be on vacation next week and largely without internet access. Assuming there are enough entries, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could put up the voting threads for APC#252 and GPC#220 and the entry threads for the next rounds in my stead. Thanks.

Hi Pat, nicely chosen portion of the car. Why did you use ISO 400?

I can't recognize it- what car is it?

Hi Pat, nicely chosen portion of the car. Why did you use ISO 400?

Thanks. I was shooting the car for an upcoming auction and the weather was very spotty. Started off real bad, raining and such, and eventually cleared up. Still was getting patches of clouds, so I just stuck it on 400 so I didn't have to mess with it too much.

It's a Hemi Cuda.

It's a Hemi Cuda.

Care to share some more? I looked at your website but didn't see any of it.

Never seen a cream Hemi Cuda 'Vert before.

It's not an overly bright white, but I don't know that I'd call it quite "cream".

And I'd share more, but I was paid to shoot the car (they actually flew me out to Chicago to do it) for an upcoming auction, so I don't really feel comfortable posting anything significant without their approval first.

Where are you headed?

I was in the Outer Banks in North Carolina, with a couple stops at the Civil War battlefields in Appomattox and Petersburg in Virginia, and one night in Edenton, North Carolina.

I kinda hate it when I stick the ISO up really high and forget to turn it down again though. 400 is nothing to worry about usually, but at 800 or 1600 you really can't see anything until you zoom in.

Thanks.
