I wish I wasn't also into guns so I could spend money on my car like you guys. Not good to have two expensive hobbies.

Lol...likewise. I have an AR lower untouched because I've been spending all my money on my car. And I have my eyes on another pistol

Single shot exemption ends this year. Just in case your next choice is off roster. I I love California.

My 2013 Boss on the roof of the parking garage at work.

I'm looking at a Sig SP2022. Vayers Arms offers their built SP2022 for $600 shipped with whatever coating you want, upgraded grips, night sights and upgraded trigger. My local shop has it for $600 stock.

I like my M&P 40c, but I wish I had just gotten the SP2022 in the first place. I bought my M&P the day it fell off the roster lol

There's nothing fake about that shot.

It's probably the contrast or saturation that gives it a rendered look.

I used a circular polarizer and stacked two polarizations to kill the reflections, that's about it.

Wow, This thread makes me realize I need to invest in a good camera....

Yep nothing fake at all. Nice shot.

However, would you agree, that with today's editing software, a photographer doesn't have to worry "too" much about getting the perfect combination of shutter speed, aperture, filter, etc... because everything can be tweaked in editors such as lightroom. That's why with me, I used to bring all my CPL's, etc etc... now I don't bother. One lens. And, on top of that, I don't have to worry about hand/movement blur due to a slow shutter speed (dusk shots) as much, since I can add exposure in Lightroom.

It's not the size/kind of the wand but the skill of the magician

Working with lots of photographers through work, I'd say that's not quite true, at the professional level at least. It's still easiest and best to get a great shot to begin with and save the time+cost of the editing later. Of course, that doesn't matter when it's just for fun...

Oh well yes... no one said anything about speed I do mine mostly for personal and family stuff. Occasionally I'll do photo ops for a fee, but I hardly have time for that anymore. Same thing with car detailing, etc. No more time "professionally". Family, work, and my own car/s come first.

But I agree, it always is about the "shot". No doubt. Just saying, with the new tech available, I can even make a "bad" shot look really "good" just by software.

Beautiful shots. Beautiful car. Almost rivals a 2012 Kidding.

Nice shots fink. Car is looking great.

Hah, thanks Burton. Now if only I could get those silver Niche Milans and a Vortech supercharger, she'd be perfect..........

Supersnake04

that is a perfect wallpaper.

You know the saying... "Once you dark(side), you never go back".

ok, there really is no saying. But...my point is that, you will never want to go NA again I can't imagine how driving my car would be if I was NA again. That would be weird.

Why vortech though? For me, I purposely wanted roots style. Mainly more for looks and response. Would the Vortech be just as responsive at low rpms? Just curious.

Originally, I was all about getting a VMP supercharger, but now I really like my dipped CF/grabber blue engine cover. Vortech would give me 600 horses and still maintain the engine cover.

I know it wasn't fake, but like SuperSnake mentioned, it looks like a wallpaper. Just looked too good to be true lol.
