You're an old fart. But 3 is the nicest. IMEO

Yep, those WA oblique shots look best.
A very classy look.
Love the cloud reflections on the squeaky clean bonnet.

That just hurts. Question: So what did you do today?

Well I washed the Porsch and then took pictures to make others look at my ride! Retirement is so tough! Nice images bud! JIM

Jer, nice images of a VERY nice ride and a cloudy day is the only day to take them. Question: If you don't need front plates why not take the holder of?

Thank you sir, and I agree with both your observations.

Thanks - that means a lot, since I spent two days last week detailing the car!

Thanks, JIM. As I indicated above, although the dealer detailed the car before delivery, I had to do it for myself - so I worked pretty hard to shine it up.

I appreciate the nice words, Heinrich. Unfortunately, Texas requires front plates - mine just haven't arrived yet, thus the holder. I've flouted this rule on previous cars, but ended up with tickets. Now, I just accept it (with a bit of ill grace) and have the front bracket fitted.

Thanks, buddy. Yeah it's fun to drive, but I need to start aiming my camera at other things - we just can't get two dry days in a row (drought all summer, rain all fall).

Oh, I'll bet you're exhausted with that toy! The silver really comes through in the overcast light. Really like the last shot where the the silver in the sky is a beautiful accent to a beautiful car. There's your silver lining Jer.

Thanks much, my friend. I think this image was helped by using the Clarify tool in PSP X; I don't often use it, but I like the results it produced here.

#1 is

#3 is wonderful. I love the reflection in the door, making it seem like the curb continues thru the Porsche.

*skinja* · 10-13-2009, 12:53 PM

I agree, #3 is my favorite. Life is rough...... the only choice is to have fun.

Thanks for the nice words. Yeah it is a fun ride; since I live in Lake Jackson, I'm looking forward to driving up from Freeport to Galveston on the Blue Water Highway as soon as it's repaired from Ike.
