This picture was taken near Hwy 280 (Menlo Park area) this morning.

Awesome pic. I love the tail of a 993, especially the widebodies. In this case, wider is better.

Let me know if you are going on a drive next time. I'd love to check out Mt. Hamilton one of these weekends!

That is gorgeous! Even if you weren't a car buff, that's a striking photo.

Good job!

I tried a pretty interesting effect. Save the picture as your background with "stretch" mode selected so it takes up your whole screen.

I agree! Absolutely one of the most beautiful pictures of anything I've seen. Not only I am curious as to what camera that is but I want to know if our man Pin has a background in photography.

Pin, that was something incredible. Ansel Pin, methinks.

BTW, saw your name in the "new members" listing of the Diablo chapter. Hope to catch you at a club event. Hope also that you bring your camera!

Hi all,

Thank you so much for the kind words...

I'm actually not that good in photography, I think I was just lucky because I think that this picture was taken at the right time and the right place. I took some photography lessons twice but that was in my high school and in my sophmore year in college.

The camera that I have is an Olympus C3040Z.

Thanx again guys and have a nice Sunday

Does this board also have an archive? It's worth saving things of beauty, be it a picture or a post. Excellent picture. Talking about sensual lines...

Pin,
It appears as though the picture you posted is 800x600 - did you in fact take the picture at higher resolution? Could you post it?
Great job on the picture.

Great photo! All that fog etc. just perfect!

Here's another nice a** (it's large because it's made for desktop) Viken: Modified to a smaller size!

FF,

We were hoping that people post smaller pictures to help those whith a slower dial-up connection and others who have a smaller screen resolution. Can you please reduce the size of your picture to 640 x 480 or less?

TIA

Hi Rick,

Due to the varying internet connection speed that people have, I decided not to post high resolution pictures.

I can email you the high resolution picture of this picture if you would like to Please give me your email address (mine is suwipin@yahoo.com).

Thank you Rick.
