So Ken, is that black monster your ride when the Corvette is avoiding inclement weather? Looks pretty rad... tricked out in black. Gotta appreciate another car man... though I don't think I really qualify any longer now that I'm driving a Toyota Camry, even a XLE with a V-6. I saw a fellow climbing out his Porsche 911 the other day and thought to myself I'm glad its not me extricating myself from that low car. I like a bit more space, which clearly the Tahoe gives you. Sweet ride my friend.

For most of my career I owned one car or didn’t have one at all. Retirement has let loose the hounds!
The Tahoe is my wife's and she loves it! The Vette is now three and a half years old and has 36900 miles and has been to 34 states. Got caught in snow last May in Montana and rain all across North Dakota and all the National Parks in Utah! It is not up to making it out to the spot I set up for the Blue Angels where big tires and good ground clearance is a must.
The Brits call us “petrol heads” which sums it up very well. No matter what you drive, have driven or what you dream of driving gets you in the club. If your 8 or 80 and have a car poster in your heart or on your wall you’re in.

At least you have a V6 and not a 4 cylinder. ...Show more →
My 2008 is 12 years old and has 31000 miles, has been to one state and never seen rain or snow!
Now this 1973, there is no telling where she has been or what she's done or how many miles run!!!!!
Just replaced the spark plugs, radiator, power steering piston and control valve, all with my own hands; plus tires, and alignment, Good for summer!!!
Raphael, the C6, really ONE state! I am glad you and the C3 are one mechanically. My 68 ALWAYS seemed to need brakes but it went all up and down the east coast and Ontario. Quebec, Prince Edward Island and to Nova Scotia.
Are you having any difficulty with the Z6's stop down feature when looking thru the view finder? There seems to be a slight lag... can't explain … when shooting fast moving subjects like the Navy jets.
The weather elements certainly delivered a multitude of different opportunities to showcase twilight from the shoreline and, in this instance, sunset from the hotel.
50/2 H shot from the 14th floor of the Westin Waterfront.

One second, shot though plexi-glass = amazing
Thanks -
Braced the fisheye against the internal window and used my coat to cover the window to keep the internal cabin lights from reflecting from the multiple window panes.

And too lots of shots - only a few came out OK.

I had a similar reflection problem to overcome whilst shooting thru the thick window glass but had the benefit of a tripod.

Over the top architecture, city skylines, fighter jets, sports cars, northern lights from an airplane on this page. So I will add to it with a boring old weathered barn that is probably beyond repair.
Been a few months since I last took some photos (fat bike in snow). Broken bones will do that. Bicycles in winter are dangerous. So the most natural thing was to start with photos of more bicycles.
Ghetto basement studio setup, cheap Neewer strobes with home-made grids in front of cheap backdrop. Photoshop used to stack and composite this from about 13 different frames. Still not perfect, but close to what I had in mind.

After a 2,5 year break, our days of spending hours in the outdoors appear to return. We spent 4 hours on Saturday and 4 on Sunday in the woods, and Anouk greatly enjoyed herself. Even though the past 2,5 years brought many new delights (and challenges), both Kristina and I missed the time out in the open, spent mostly between the two (now three) of us quite a bit.
