Very nice pics. What camera are you using, I really like the way the color came out on some pics. Were any of these pictures Photoshopped to enhance or change anything?

[Darin]

Thanks guys - I use a cheapo Fuji Finepix2300. The pics were enhanced to fix saturation, sharpness, brightness etc... PS has 'Auto Colour', etc, tools which I used. I also edited the boost gauge (I don't have a turbo), and the speedo/tach (1st Gen Miatas have a 7200? RPM redline). :D

very nice you should make wallpaper out of some of them. man you make me wanna take a vacation

[Darin]

thanks - some of them ARE wallpapers now! :)

Wow, the wonders of Photoshop.
I had noticed that some pics had very nice saturation while others did not. Of course it would be silly to take 2 cameras.

Very nice pictures taken and edited, I gotta learn myself some of that (thumb)

Damn, as I've learned over the past two years, BigProbe... errrr... Darin... you really know how to use a camera!

Awesome pics as always!

On a side note, you drive that Miata around alot! ;)

A number of times, the saturation captured is a function of lighting - not just the camera :D

Thanks!

Thanks Will,

The Probe-Turbo sits and rots beside my driveway because nobody will buy it from me. :(

Beautiful pictures. I really miss the NW. :( The midwest has it's flavor, but it's much more bland than the mountains out there.
I'm gonna have to move back to Oregon..
Again, beautiful pics. Hope I can do some road tripping in my Miata.

[LinuxRacr]

I wann take a road trip, but do not dare to go that far yet.

Nice!
How did you take that tire shot? Just arm hanging out? :)
