Three Wheelin'
Thanks, it looks like I was stuck there doesn't it! I roamed all day, I was using a Nikon D50 with the lens that came with it, so that was really the only place I could get close enough to get good pictures.

The only things I often touch in teh RAW window are the WB (temp), Brightness (I usually take it down close to zero, Contrast (bump it up to 40-60). Occasionally I play with Saturation, shadows and the others but not much. Once it is open in PS, I just do a quick Unsharp Mask and then save it.
My skills are limited but I am able to make the shots look how I want and not much more. I just try to get my shots to look like the big money pro guys shots and then I look at what I had to do to get there.

Very cool shots as usual!
You know, you need to store all these fotos for future, I always enjoy seeing old racing photos in Porsche & other magazines (i.e. Keith Seume quite often shows his old photos in Porsche & 911 world magazine).
30-40 years from now, think how cool it is to go through these!?

My addy is: ElectrologhtPro -at- aol.com
Finn: I'll work on that one a bit more before I send it out. It looks ok on my monitor at home, but on my laptop it appears washed out.
I store all my shots on high grade CD's, and Lacie 500Gb HD's. I agree about the historical content of the photos, what helps is that the exif data in each shot gives you time and date information to verfiy the event in the future.
