Beautiful blue skies and twisty mountain roads, o'course!

Crossfire Dreams:



"Hey, where you wanna play today?"
"How 'bout over there?"
"Cool, let's roll"

Beautiful just Beautiful

 

ahhhhhhhhhh!

I miss those mountains and wish I'd had this car when I lived there.

 

Those are great pics. I hope you all had a great time.

 

Sweet !! Beautiful pics
I need to come back there again and in my Crossfire.

 

I like!!!!

 

great pictures, don't forget to submit one for the 2010 calender.

 

You are welcome any time Gary. We drove some very nice road yesterday!

 

Try Picasa 3 from Google (free download) and edit the picture, a couple of clicks and a whole new picture emerges. It looks like a black car in the original.

 

Very nice. Two thumbs up for those shots. And your experiences!

 

Actually, you might want to check the settings on your monitor to see if they are properly set up. Bat touched up on the photos using her graphics program in order to get rid of the washed out qualities of the picture. I took the photo with the wrong setting on the camera by accident.

Car looks like a nice dark grey on all three of our computers.

BC.

 

She made it too dark. I have screwed up enough one-of-a-kind pics to know. My wife is a Graphics Designer, and so I have access to the latest Photoshop and have used Picasa as well. Photoshop is quite superior, but Picasa is OK for a free progrm. Personally I am purist, and do not like to retouch any pics. I sometimes redact the licence plate from my pics published from my website, and sew multiples together into a panarama.

I think the untouched pic is the better one, even though it is washed a bit in some areas.

 

Picasa is as you say OK for a freebie and is good enough and simple enough for the average snap. If I am being fussy I have Paint Shop Pro to use but it involves time to fix up a poorly taken picture really well so I opt for Picasa more often than not. The Photo Shop basic programs that come with some equipment are OK as well, the full Photo Shop is too expensive for the average user and it takes skill to use effectively.
A purist will say the photo is too dark, but a little manipulation will show more of what was intended and surely that is better.

 

Dang, I grew up staring at those mountains. Seeing the Flatirons again makes me wish I wasn't a flatlander now.
