Next week I'm driving back to GrandRapids, MI for Thanksgiving and there should be many opportunities for some nice fall pictures of my own. When I get back I'll dig this thread up with some more contributions - plus I need to take some pics of my new wheels, ROW m030, and bumperettes.
Thanks, No tripod, I was using 28-70mm 2.8 lens, they are more important than the camera (Nikon d200). It is a very sharp lense, the lighting and luck was also on my side...mostly luck though.
Have a great trip, looking forward to see your new setup and fall pics

Great Thread (unlike that range rover vs 911 thread...yikes).
I cut and pasted 10 or so of your pics into an I-Photo slide show. It is awesome!
Thanks

Outstanding pics!!!!

Would a few of you mind if I snatched one or two - for the next couple of weeks pics for the opening page of this site:

https://rennlist.com

Many of these are stunning... And - frankly - it's about time Rennlist had a 996 on the opening page again...

Amazing..

Ben,

Exactly half (yes, I said half) of what a similar size house in the Seattle area would cost. The reason I know that is because, a few months ago, I had some preliminary interviews for a position at a company in Bellevue, WA. The cost of living in Bellevue is 24.6% higher than in the Charlotte area. Housing prices in Bellevue and surrounding areas were almost exactly double what they are here.

The maximum salary they were willing to pay for that position was 23.4% LOWER than what I had been making. It didn't take me long to figure out that it would not a prudent decision on my part to continue to pursue that opportunity, so I respectfully withdrew my name from consideration of that position.
