No no no, you did it all wrong. It's his favorite road...

... in the world.
Sweet views, all I got is trees and lakes and trees between lakes. Never been on such open plain or hill you got there.
Lakes and trees.
Trees and lake.

Good job Bob. Didn't have time to test your mod properly before today, and I got to say it's quite awesome. With the 28% restriction on Kyoto GP long with h-gate it's such a riot. Haven't had such a smile on my face while driving LFS in ages. 
My set was mostly rubbish, but great fun car.

Yeah, it has some blur, but 1/160 is really short exposure. I still like the shot though.
Well, I kinda like the flying pictures. You could try playing around with the shutter priority mode (Tv in Canons) to have more motion and blur to the pictures.
Nokia 6500 classic. Slim and very solid phone. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

Yes, VR is brilliant (just realised how good few hours ago) it's usually the subject that doesn't keep still with longer shutter times though.
edit. Also 1/15 shot

Well I just don't like AA-batteries. Don't have really anything that runs on them or a recharger. I did consider the upsides of AA power, but with a set of batteries and recharger it would have been quite the same. But I can't complain, I can take at least 1400 photos with one charge (one bar left).
As for the CA, I'm not sure if it was the lens or just bad jpg they complained on dpreview but you could see it on the pictures.
Ah, how on earth I end up explaining why I didn't buy a Pentax, it's not like it's a crime is it.
Now go label and name your precious old lenses you...you.
<- just to get away with anythingThe Pentax k-m is definitely the cheapest in the low-end to buy. Personally it was a tough call between that and D60. But the Pentax using AA-batteries and the bad CA in jpg shooting lead me to buy the Nikon. The whatever Canon offers for around same price was just too much for me and felt overpriced compared to the D60.
Looking back it would have been wiser to not buy the kit (although the 18-55 VR is really nice) and take a body with the 18-135.
Anyway, it's really much down to personal choice and what you like, and what you intend to shoot. Which of course is hard to know before you have your first camera I guess.
edit. heh, my responses take time
Oh noes, not these Polish tracks again. 
Plus it's manual focus.
I'd suggest that you use your legs and just get closer.

Enough with this feel good nonsense!

Tomorrow morning the sun rises (on this height I live), at 3.19 (sets 22.47) and technically there is no night. At 19th (Midsummer) of this month the sun gets up at the most earliest at 3.14 and after that days get shorter and shorter when it gets up later every day. Further up north the sun just stays up and doesn't set.
Thanks, looks promising, especially the refurbished lenses are tempting...must resist.
Interesting stuff too, thanks.
I'm sure it will be ace. If I had been smarter I had bought something like that with a body and not the kit. How much did that thing set you back then?
Talking of which. Now when the US dollar is rightfully in the ditch again, is there any place that would ship Nikon lenses from US to Europe? Looking at the amazon list prices on the Nikon 55-200 VR AF-S DX lens, you'd save about 150 euros, and that's a lot in my books. But the problem is they don't ship that outside US. Is there some sort of areal distribution monopoly with camera gear, or does anyone know a place?

Hmm..yes, they do look a lot better and sexier. Although the Peugeot one feels a bit wrong because I think the gravel was gray not brown, but who would know of course, even I'm not sure how it was.
Sorry for the huge post. Here is some rubbish from about 1100 shots in which about 1/4 were usable. Pictures taken yesterday in the freezing Finnish summer.
Dirty dirty wheel.
Man screwing a turbo.
Paint on headlights, sounds promising...
Pattern tires?
Rallycross of course!
Looking good... but then
wheel trouble.
Minor damage.
Slippery beetle.
Triple drift!

Get in the bag. Sure you will look like an idiot, but at least your gear doesn't get wet.
Or if you got a long lens hood, stick the plastic bag on it with some water from the sky. Worked for me.

I don't get it. If the game is so ready they could release it, why didn't they show any real footage on the biggest game expo of the year?

Can't believe some people actually bought that car list being real. Someone has just copy pasted the list of every car, I mean it has about 50 different GAZs, Ladas and so many almost identical cars. Has 9 MRT variations for example. It's so ridiculous I can't believe there are idiots thinking that would be the list Sony had wanted if it would be even possible to have that many cars.
Too bad for the KIA fans too, people who like beige have never been so much disappointed.

Yes, you've been teasing people with your uber-tweak for ages now!
Ooh, interesting stuff I must say. For some reason I was the most impressed about the battery position having it's own value, but it does make sense. Is there a value for battery weight too? Truck batteries mmmm...Too bad you can't make 12 litre turbocharged diesel engines to work properly.
I wish there would be a special mod-license for the talented people like you to buy, well not you of course, because you don't have the time, but for people who have it. Slap on a hefty price, let's say 200 pounds and most kiddies stay away messing around making Civics.
How much is the car modified from whatever LFS model you used as a starting point? Suspension, wheel base, track width, weight distribution? How close is it to a stock car if put shortly.
I like the Xbox approach to the motion tracking over the Playstation because they've just copied their concept from Nintendo. It feels they've actually gone more ambitious and come up with something new at Microsoft. Only flaw is they lack buttons, but nothing stops them adding separate button controllers though, but I guess the whole idea is the full body control. Nothing stops the games using both the normal controller and the camera tracking system either.
Not saying I don't think this motion craze as a bit off a gimmick, I don't see much wrong with the 360 controller as it's one of the best there has ever been, it just fits. But I guess the 'casual gamers', which seems to be one of the main themes with pink and girly stuff at this years E3, all have trouble with controllers because they got too many moving parts.
Nintendo hit a gold vain, now the rest follow.
And the name is still probably just a project codename I think.

Plus the drive seems awfully smooth in the cockpit, but the steering moving like it should would just look ridiculous. Think about how fast and sharply it would move lock to lock when using the pad. It's like LFS with keyboard.
