Glad you like 'em! There were constantly people standing around your car so those shots were taken at different times as I walked by and saw a chance for a clear shot.

Need to read the manual first I guess...lol.... but that looks like several day undertaking.
Thanks! The camera is nothing fancy, just an old Canon Rebel XTi and my run around lens which is a Sigma 18-200mm. Yes, the pics are saved as raw in order to correct lighting with some post processing to correct a bunch of things. Auto mode allows you to take "ok" pictures but to really take advantage of the camera you'll need to experiment with the different settings practice and take lots and lots of pics! It'll take several days and then some. I'm still practicing and learning new things too! Taking pics of people, landscapes, flowers, cars etc in different settings and light all require different techniques and tons of practice to master. Books and photography specific forums provide plenty of valuable information that also helped me a lot as well.

Hi All,

I just thought i'd introduce myself. I have been around 6speedonline for awhile, however, never really made it over to the regional section of the thread until I met Boochook (great guy!).

Anyhow, My name is Paul. I am from Gaithersburg, MD. Student at University of Maryland and currently Georgetown University. Family's current garage consists of: 2000 996 Convertible (mine) with H&R coilovers, intake, HID headlights, Red out taillights, 225-front/295-rear tires, a few other minor things here and there. 2004 Cayenne S (father's). 2002 CL600 V12 (family's/mothers). Previously I owned a Stage 3 A6 2.7T with big turbo's (dearly missed), father had a 1987 911, also a 86 944. Had many other cars but not really worth mentioning.

I am hoping to upload some pics soon! but dont have any recent ones right now, and also definitely look forward to coming out to the meets and definitely cars and coffee

... on that note, one final thing. Sorry for my laziness but I didnt read through the 55+ pages of this thread, can someone quickly summarize the get together times and days for me?

That would be of great help!

Thanks

-Paul

This thread, at least from what I remember is only for the Cars and Coffee event on Saturday morning. Starts early, around 7. I've never been, but its probably the best in the area.

Soooooooooo I won't be there tomorrow. While it is my birthday and nothing would make me happier than another great day at C&C, I'm currently in Rhode Island for the next week or so for 4th of July week. However, I feel bad that I've kinda slowed up on my processing of photos and videos when I said I'll release them shortly, so tonight and on my birthday tomorrow, I'll work to get out some new shots and video for everyone.


No worries, I got you guys

Awesome turnout today! I got there around 6:45AM and the first lot was already full.

Full Flickr Set

I tried to get a lot of shots of people driving through the main lot.
