Post a picture of yourself

Stutterfly · Mar 17, 2011

I really had to search to find a pic of myself :meh: I make a point of not being photographed.

It's funny, I see my fellow shooters captured on various videos and photos of festivals and gigs...but never me. I'm quite proud of that. This is after having been shooting non-stop for over 3 hours. It was hot, dusty and brilliant. I was absolutely on a high. Hence the expression. I took it myself, when my partner gave me his p&s to fix his settings. I wanted to show him what over-exposure looks like...

Easterfest April 2010, Toowoomba, Queensland. Specifically, my brother's knee. Yup...wearing my Nikon strap proudly. After that festival I got smart and bought an ultra padded Crumpler one.

Four years from age 17 makes a huge difference.

Much more than I ever would have guessed at 17 haha.

Is that your miata? Are you driving a chick car?

DSLR noob · Apr 5, 2011

.92 lateral Gs on skidpad on the factory skinny 185mm wide tires back in 1989 when tire compounds were practically plastic
fully indipendent unequal length load-correcting double wishbone suspension
50/50 weight distribution
15:1 steering ratio
1.8 inches of throw between gearshifts, the shortest of any production car in 1989
best selling 2 seating convertible in the world, and in north america
most raced make and model on any given race weekend
has its own SCCA racing class: Spec Miata
2,300 pounds with all fluids (including gasoline) and a driver

Can achieve over 1.1 lateral Gs on a skidpad with less than $4,000 in suspension upgrades on DOT approved tires, meaning it can out handle a $75,000 Corvette Z06 which pulls 1.0 gs on a lateral skidpad.

umm 31MPGs on the highway should sound good to anybody with these gas prices too

I can go on but any man who doesn't see the Miata for the excellent driving machine it is really less of a man in my opinion. After all, are you going to concern yourself with fashion like the more femenine side of society, or are you going to recognize an excellently engineered machine for what it is?

Nah, I'd probably just pin it as a chick whip.

Think of it what you will. Its really a very closed-minded opinion just because the car is small, it is one of the best driving machines for the money. And no, I am not saying it is fast, it has only 128hp, but it it is one of the best to drive, and it teaches one about using momentum and little breaking with great handling to match cars with twice or three times the power.

Okay I will now stop threadjacking my own thread.

@Double H

That is a really interesting and dream-like lomograph you have taken on the Holga. Wonderful shot.

@Krictoshaam626

Very good lighting on the face, and a very flettering looking photo of yourself. Good work with the portraiture skills.

Dude, I was just kidding. I could care less what you drive. I didn't read or watch past "close minded opinion". I really, really don't care if a Miata is your mode of transportation. Everything is okay.
