Would you care to comment on this aspect of your photography. Thank you, Gonzalo "Arche, Harvey" <Harvey.Arche@jp2hs.org> wrote: I'm in Tennessee: I shoot what I see. Xtol woes sorted out, here's some stuff that had been waiting to be souped. >From the mall: http://gallery.leica-users.org/album395/jabba http://gallery.leica-users.org/album395/babycakes http://gallery.leica-users.org/album395/handoff http://gallery.leica-users.org/album395/shopping_pattern For a promotion at the stock car track, they brought in the 'Green Mamba', a Rolls-Royce engined jet-car. Midway through the evening's races, it came out and did a couple laps. This means that at the beginning of each straightaway the driver hammers the throttle for 2 seconds and then coasts half way around the track, because there's no way they're going to let this sucker get up to speed. Thats not what its for. They have two junkers stacked in the middle of the infield, and after the scheduled races, the Mamba is going to melt them down! So, come time, they roll the Mamba over and chain it to stakes already set, chock the wheels, and let the driver climb in. He weighs about 290 and sits in a little cage, presumably to keep him from getting sucked into the engine. Now we have high-speed portable blow torch about 3 feet in diameter, ready to go at it. It takes about 6-8 minutes to reduce the stacked junkers to glowing slag, and then the fire trucks, who have been waiting patiently, roar over from where they were parked about 100 yards away, with full lights and sirens, and hose off the rubble. Big steam clouds, and everybody goes home happy. Is this a great country or what? http://gallery.leica-users.org/album404/mamba GOYA & shoot, Arche _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
