A friends EVO + my whip

A friend of mine recently got hit in this custom turbo'd Honda Civic totalling it.  He got a replacement which is a significant improvement.  A brand new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution.  It's black and my '09 MazdaSpeed3 is white, we park next to each other at work; it's a match made in heaven.  Both are 3 exposure HDR images.  The EXIF data of each "correct" exposure is included.

Lack of updates

I apologize for the lack of updates as of late.  Crazy college work load, etc.

I've been mainly shooting my own car recently.  I did a shoot in an alley (the same alley as the previous post actually) and also a shoot in a parking garage.  I think my white balance was off for the entire alley shoot, doesn't that piss you off?!  I got it right for the parking garage shoot though and those pictures turned out really great.  I will post one or two here in a few minutes.

I also purchased a circular polarizing filter last weekend.  I haven't had a whole lot of time to play with it, but I'm looking forward to it this weekend.

I just bought a "nifty-fifty" lens about a half-hour ago.  A Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II for you non-photographers.  It's supposed to be a VERY sharp lens.  I'm looking forward to it because I've found the kit lens leaves much to be desired in that arena.
