OK. Gonna post before I go back and look at everyone else's stuff so I don't chicken out

Durn Photobucket is giving me hassle in IE. Switch to FF brb...

OK here's the shot:

I took about a dozen or so exposures from which I took five to make this HDR. It was really dark in that opening beneath the trees as you can probably tell from the sun just hitting the tippy-tops of the trees. The first HDR I've made that I feel is truly acceptable.
[EDIT]Although now after having had the file closed a few hours and seeing it again I notice all kinds of niggles lol... sky color and the leaves on the left are ghosting... ah well.

I guess I took the power thing in a different direction.

A little blurry ( did try to sharpen it, but i'm not sure if it made it worse of better), and the lighting is funky, but a spur of the moment shot.

And a silly one...

I was wanting to do something like that as well! Just no horses or other powerful animals easily accessible to me. :thumbup:

I don't know how to even shoot one, I'm too afraid to go with my parents to the shooting range. It's too loud there

 

[darkpbstar]

I really like the gun picture. Nice choice

Here is another one.. I couldn't resist

Is that a dampener of some sort going from the manifold to the fender?
Sweet looking engine. I haven't messed around with them since the first time I saw a square distributor in my GF's Ford Escort... lol
Although I do want to get an early seventies Bronco when I move to Texas later this month.

That is a torque damper to help keep the torque loss. The less the engine twists.. that much more torque gets to the wheels.

I was at a car show here in Austin when I shot that.

I'm currently working on a 400HP 1.6L SOHC honda motor for my car. I'm looking at about 5-6Grand just into the engine.. which on my current income will take about 2 years.... *sigh* I need more clients

 

[King Mango]

uhh... 400HP 1.6??? :hail:
4 hp per C.I.D.! We used to hold the holy grail on the street at 1 HP per C.I.D. And that's STILL respectable. You must mean during a shot? Please yes?
