Isn't it time we have a group GTG and a photoshoot? Anyone know of some good locations for pics?

I got some decent ones at White Rock with the Mach and my 93 Cobra a few years back.

And needs to wait until it gets cooler.

Cooler weather will also bring "cleaner" skys because the Ozone (O3) pollution won't be as bad, causing a blue fade to the horizon. Trust me, that can play havoc on pictures.

I think end of Sept., early Oct. should be perfect.

Camera limitations. Mine are low. LOL. What I get for owning a Canon XTi of 6+ year old technology.

Yeah, then I saw those. He has a much better camera than me. I have to have perfect light to eliminate color noise/graining from a high ISO.

I really had exposure issues due to the sun with the noon ones which is why i say morning time is best.

If I remember correctly, I believe his camera his a Nikon D80. I know nothing about that kind of stuff, so I don't know if that is a "nice" camera or not.

Those turned out great for noon blue sky shots. Didn't wash out hardly any, unless you really worked over Lightroom, or whichever programs you use.

Don't see why not, Sundays not on a race weekend would be best. Wont have access to the infield though.

No not hardly at all and yes i used lightroom 4 to touch up contrast and threw a little clarity in to get the sky nice and clear blue. Very minimal work done.
