Lots of winding backroads in the western MA Berkshires this evening. Awesome cruise.

Dropped it off to get the front springs installed.
Bunch of Subie guys work at the local Tire Mart and they know what's up. Should have the car back by lunch.

I agree, Alchemy. Your car looks hawwwwwt. And your HDR photos rock. Hey, if you don't mind me asking, tips for shooting HDR? Isn't it just merely taking at LEAST 3 shots via a tripod? one low exposure, one high exposure, and one normal? Then just blend into one? What software do you use to blend? I have a D60 fyi...

Just got done ordering my NEW personalized plates! Won't tell anyone what it is yet ;) Will post a pic once I get it. I tend to change plates every year if I get bored with them.


Also, I went to a larger meet in Iowa City on Saturday. Was finally nice to go to a meet where it wasn't all import haters and big block and old school folks. It was refreshing. Had about 50 or so cars, even an Elise. Met some cool folks, but the downside was there were a lot of "ricers" and others that were just cocky haters in general... then their cars were POS's anyways?!?!?! :icon14: sheeesh. Sad. Anyways, the coolest car there I thought was my buddy's SC'd Honda Prelude... super clean install. Pics below, more pics in my album:

Of course my car first :D btw, friends were giving my crap because after I got my car clear bra'd, I STILL put blue tape, followed by the leather OEM bra up top for high way drives :bowrofl: I told them I am all show and no go :p

btw: photos are unedited, via D60. Forgive the crappiness if they are bad :(

Sorry to jump in, but I hope this helps.

I'm not sure if the D60 is capable, but the easiest way is to use the bracketing function on your camera to take multiple shots at different exposures, you can do up to 5 for HDR but 3 is ok. Use a remote trigger. Any movement will cause blurry areas. You can manually adjust the exposure after every shot, but you do risk moving the camera ever so slightly which could ruin your HDR shot. Photomatix is a good program and relatively inexpensive. Give the trial a shot, it is fully functional, but leaves a watermark on the image when you print. The newer versions of Photoshop have a pretty good HDR plug-in also but PS is pretty pricey.
