I use the cheaper ones, can't speak for the pricey ones, but they work fine. I'm sure the glass and overall quality would be much better for the expensive ones. The cheap ones are just that... cheap. I've got a few different sizes from a few different companies, all work fine.

It looks pretty good in the middle of the desert, so good that it makes the $2.5 million home in the background look all busted up and broken down. (Photo by G. A. Volb/Shutterjock)

New ones, my faves from my last outing:

Those look good!
Not so sure about the skin tone on the one where she's looking down at the car.
Retouching looks great, but I'll be really nitpicky and say you should clean up the line on her leg, just above the "I" in shift and remove the light from her sunglasses... or at least just on one side or the other. It looks kind of weird split between the two lenses right at the bridge like that and my eye goes right there and stays there.
I know, I know. I just failed the gay test

I took part in a photo scavenger hunt this summer along with 499 other participants. The photos are in the last stage of reveals and there are some great ones here. The creativity is excellent! Figured you guys might want to check them out. If you head on over to my Google+ page, you should be able to see the shared albums.

Well I think the background colors match the car and the low sun added some interest ..

You shouldnt have said anything..

now that you mention it the light boards could be toned down just a bit,.,.but over all it looks good..

Sometimes you just have to get up reallllllllly early.

I've been meaning to hit this spot again while the light is good and city hasn't woken up yet.
Please ignore the bad post-processing. I was still shooting JPEG and editing with Paint Shop Pro, and I had no idea what a layer was yet.
