Thank You. Using a Canon 7D with Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6. Some light post production in Lightroom. Just using JPG's no RAW.

Something different. Texas Drought a few years ago. It was bad. Something like 90 straight days over 100 with no rain.

Client of mine just got this designation. Her great great grandfather purchased this property in 1857. Born a slave in 1819, he acquired his freedom before the Civil War and amassed over 1500 acres as well as several "town" properties.

Elected to Virginia's House of Delegates in 1885, he served one term. After losing election for his second term he "remained active in politics and participated in Republican Party politics and also worked with the 1888 congressional campaign of John Mercer Langston".

There's definitely some interesting stuff in there. Easy to get carried away with it, but with the right subject matter (i.e. old aircraft), it can be appropriate.

After you mentioned Analog Efex, I went in there and looked around. Never knew there was anything besides Classic Camera--now I see there is a boatload of different camera/film effects. Just what I needed--something else to waste time with!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. That's exactly what I was shooting for. I wanted experiment and drop the shutter speed down close to where I shoot prop planes. While not tack sharp, I'm pretty happy with it. Couldn't beat the lighting, either, with the storm in the background.

I really have no idea. I have a modern Mustang but all I know about the classics is that they are beautiful. The one in the photo is my birth year so decided to snap a pic. Cars really had style back then compared to the cookie cutter appliances most people drive today.
