Hey I'd like to know as well. I'm sure the OT Police will indulge you, and maybe they're interested in knowing as well!
Btw, I like that through the sunroof shot too! ... And you were probably driving too when you took that! ... Gotta luv that!

I use Photoshop for the raw conversion, although I've heard that Capture does a better raw conversion.
> do you pshop them at all?
I try to do minimal post-processing, but often apply auto-levels and auto-contrast. One of the problems with dSLRs is dust on the sensor, so often I have to clone out the dust bunnies. I also find that Nikon colors are a bit more muted, so I sometimes bump up the saturation level. After resizing for posting on the web I apply mild sharpening since resizing causes softness. Then convert the profile to sRGB before saving to the jpeg.

Since I usually show in raw mode, the camera settings don't apply, but occationally I shot jpeg when I don't want to do any post processing. In that case I change the camera settings to sRGB, auto tone, auto sharpening.
Hope that helps.

Man o man what I wouldn't do to live in San Francisco. God I love that city. The wife and I were talking just the other day about how it had been too long (6 months) since we have been there. We are itching to go back. To stay on topic here I love the car too! Thankd for the pics.

Well Joe, you're not going to avoid the rain altogether here in Southern Cal, especially if you drive your 997 a lot. I'm tired of this winter weather (I can hear the snow belt guys laughing at us) and can't wait for spring and summer.

But I'm liking this weather as it sure beats the Santa Ana winds and we NEED the rain
