You are forgiven!!! Plus, the TT's not fussy or prudish, it will be thrilled if you come back a better pilot equipped with newly acquired skills and techniques.

Welcome to the club, Paul. That's a beautiful car you got there. I love the 575M. Enjoy it in good health.

BTW, how do you get the red color to appear correct? I have two cameras and my car is either pink or orange depending on the camera I use. I just have a problem with reds and yellows. Any ideas?

I hope you have good luck with your 575. A member of our club got one and in 1500 miles he was on the side of the road 3 times. Said at least he was stylish waiting for the tow truck. Transmission kept locking out of gear. Poor fellow, he traded it on a CGT!

John H
Thankyou

Viken
Thanks
Which cameras do you have ? It was common with [cheaper] early digitals to have difficulty with reds.
These were shot with a Canon 20D.
An upgrade or a "tweak" in PS are your only avenues.

I thought so too !
.....even sanctioned by Mrs Q

Stylish is the key
CGT !! ....see, there is a silver lining to every cloud

Q,

The 575 M is a great car. Do you have interior shots? I love the cabin.

Thanks.

Q,

Thanks. Lovely looking seats. The lines just flow in this car. How do you like the F1 paddles?

thanks mooty

given what I spent buying this thing, I am not convinced that I do actually deserve it !

If this is the dog you refer to, he believes it is actually HIS car....

The better of the two is an Olympus C5050Z. Takes excellent pictures except for these colors in bright daylight. They look overexposed and there is no manual compensation I can do to improve the situation. Unfortunately, I am not able to improve them much with a photo editing software either. So, a better camera with a bigger lens and sensor might be the solution for me.

Beautiful car. Beautiful pictures. How do you make the background B&W? That's a great effect.
