Hang on Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore! It went from such a nice thread about photography too.

How much money does it cost to be the humor police through the appropriate channels?

Only on RL could a thread with some cool track shots deteriorate into a political commentary.

Here is my old car FTW,

You've violated the 1/3 rule- and at least one other I can think of with that photo.

Let's give 'ol Tedster a break. According to classical psychology, he can't help it.

Projection is considered one of the most profound and subtle of human psychological processes, and extremely difficult to work with, because by its nature it is hidden. It is the fundamental mechanism by which we keep ourselves uninformed about ourselves. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and redirect their libidinal satisfaction by attaching, or "projecting," those same faults onto another.


I'm pretty sure that I don't understand the 1/3 rule, but here's a photo where my car is 1 of 3, and at least two of them have somewhere to go in the frame

I am pretty sure that VR's contribution complies with the 1/3 rule. And if it doesn't, who is dumb enough to argue?

Mike 'mdrums'

I host my on Flickr or any other photo site and post the URL from the specific photo into a reply and take the beginning and end with [img] URL [/img]

Flickr for example allows different sizes with associated URL's to be selected for such purposes as this.

And BTW thanks for the compliments. That was either a VLN or a ADAC 24hr race I forget which that was. The through the trees photos were totally experimental. I have more shots just need to get them up on here.
