Sorry to hear ms. pint. That's why we try to stay within 5 mph of the limit on unknown roads. We may blast through a few corners, but speed traps on corners or short straights are rare. I'll make a note about FM 1431 though.

Ron nailed it a couple of times passing cars yesterday, but for the most part we tried to "behave'.

Thanks again for coming along yesterday and navigating Lime Creek Road. We had a great time.

I really wanted a copilot. I'm bad about seeing speed change signs since I'm so focused in the turns. Oh well, can't undo it now.

I had fun yesterday, thanks again for letting me tag along!

The cop's last name was "Boring". I doubt showing leg would have helped.

I think I'm going to learn advantages of RAW data vs JPEG. I've only been using jpeg.

RAW files must/need editing and have more available options for editing over jpeg. If you took two pictures at the same time of the same subject, straight from the camera, the jpeg will look better than the RAW because the camera adds its own ideals (contrast, saturation, etc) to the jpeg. If you don't have time for editing, or can get everything "right" (exposure, white balance, etc) from the start, then jpeg is fine.

Took it out to The Speakeasy for Sunday, Bloody Mary Sunday and then over to Asia Mall to pick up some ingredients for tomorrow's dinner.
Got rained on. It was a bit slippery on the concrete ramps, but fun nonetheless. Car showed its understeer side today.

WOW! This is what, 1971? 72? It looks like Los Angeles with the Vincent Thomas bridge in the backbround.

RAW is so much easier to tweak than JPEG because you have a lot more parameters by which to fine tune adjust the photo.
It's not that you can't get it right in camera with a RAW picture, but every shot can benefit from a little nudge on the sliders for white balance, highlights, shadows, whites, blacks, sharpness, etc...
I work in Adobe Lightroom with my before and after side by side. This way I can see my changes and also make sure that I'm not straying too far from the truth. Not that digitally altered pictures aren't an art form in and of themselves, but I like to try to stay faithful to what I saw unless I'm blatantly putting out something that's not supposed to look like reality.

I would go so far as to say there was an equal portion of calamari to pasta! The tomato sauce was awesome too with whole plum tomatoes throughout!

We'll be going back!

Oh yeah, we went to the beach today too!
