DAMN IT!!! I WANTED TO BE THE FIRST TO POST PIX UP. oh well. i tried to take at least 1 pic of each car when i walked in. a few had large groups around them so i skipped them. and some came after so if i missed you im sorry.


ok im about half way done....more coming up in a few. my back hurts from sitting so long.

Lol sorry about that... But you can't be first posting 6 hrs after the meet ended Posted Image. Sucks because a lot of times the crappiest photos show up first, and then the good ones show up hours or days later - especially if you're spending time in post to make them look amazing. However I think the ones that have been up so far are for the most part decent, and I think I opened OK.

Lot of nice pix - glad someone got some of my car... I don't like taking pictures of it any more - hard to be creative. Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures...

ooo very nice! REALLY like the macro. I didn't even think about doing that... They turned out so well.

Everybody seemed to have exposure issues on at least some of their shots today... Few of yours were underexposed, while other people's were over. Mine were all over the place.

LOL @ missing bolt.

P.S. Icerockt,

A lot of your underexposed photos, the metering is "spot" in the EXIF, with the EV at -1. Was this intentional / is there some effect you're going for? (I'm curious, not criticizing).

there was actually a decent amount of shade and it wasn't bad. i have seen worse meets. its was partly cloudy so we would get like and hour of str8 sunlight then the cloud's would roll in and it would feel great for a little then back to the sun. a few times i wanted to just go sit in my car with the a/c on, but it was such a good meet everyone was talking and whatnot and i just never got around to it.

lots of hot pix.

Had a great time, thanks to everyone for coming out! I was glad to finally meet some members who haven't really been up to Orlando before. I hope next year can be EVEN BIGGER. We will have more vendors and a lot more to give away!

For those who haven't posted their pictures yet...instead of posting EVERY picture you have, please post up links to photo galleries in Photobucket or Flickr. That way it wont take 35 years to load just to see a new post.
