Your welcome BJ.

Your forum name BJ strikes home everytime I see it. My wife's name was Betty Jo and everyone called her BJ. In fact our numerous boats were all named BEE-JAY after her.

Another GL shot...

I shot this just about 2 hours ago while at the cemetery visiting with my wife. I was walking back to the car and snapped it. Funny, she asked me why I had bought another MB..

Nice pics. Congrats! Fishbowl lens?

Now I don't want to pick on you, but your driver's side floor mat looks a bit dirty. If you go hurry up and get it cleaned, you won't receive any demerits!

That was the 2nd choice. They first went with Black but then no one could see the cars when they went fast. All they saw was a blur around the race track. So they went with Silver so you could see the cars

Thanks, I’m sure we will have a few opportunities to meet in the future. I was able to get the wheels on in less than 24hrs after I picked her up. I slipped into the garage after dark and slipped out early in the morning. I didn’t want anyone to see her with out her new shoes

Red Rock Canyon continued...

Drove out to RR after lunch today and shot a couple from the Overview site. The place takes on a different look depending on the day and the whether. Parking lot was packed so couldn't get a shot of the GL basking in the sun.

Now that many have been there, these will resonate with the beauty of the place. When it's only 58 degrees it is a great place to find a bench and just relax.

Very clear today and cold (at least here it is considered cold) and the sky is a deep blue. I think the processing of the file also adds to the saturation and creates the strong blue color.

Thanks for the comments all. Nothing like a good exposure on a nice scene to make a photographers day...

Hey NJ - Sure like the Vegas edition - does all that additional neon lighting on the Vegas edition GL affect your mileage?

Not really...the neon aura here is so strong that it may even get a little boost....:-)
