lol, it barely hauls me

I have to slouch down pretty far to get behind the windscreen.

I've always loved old cars. Never could justify them, but I lost the internal battle. Was a birthday present to myself. It's also not as old as it might lead you to believe

It's such a different drive. When I go from it to my BMW I can't tell that my BMW's engine is actually on because it's so much smoother. In the BMW I now accidentally shift 1-2-5, because I've gotten used to how the 4 speed transmission shifts

and it always puts a smile on my face when I walk towards it

The kid's growing up right. Rising early to surf for an hour or so, showering, then going to school.

I grew up on the water and enjoyed a similar life style, but my quadraplegic cousin (surfing accident) is a reminder that it's not always fun and games.

Nice!

Surfing is indeed a lifestyle. If you are into surfing, you will want to watch "The ultimate wave - Tahiti 3D". Saw it at an Imax theatre but i'm pretty sure there's a 2D version out there.

But in 3D it was an amazing movie. I was ready to pack bags and buy plane tickets as soon as I left the theatre ;p

Sorry for your cousin tho. Its true that surfing can go bad anyday.

Too bad there was the blue haze. I'm glad I was able to be here today and see her hit the ocean again. I'll never get to see anything like this again.

One month...Texas, Dublin, Paris. Okay, the Dublin was Ohio...not Ireland. It just sounds more impressive if I leave it like that though.

Okay, I'm a bit confused. My photos that I'm uploading are darker than what they are when I edit them. Why is that?

That picture above looks awful?

Wish I could answer that... Same thing happens to me. Don't know if it's a result of editing on a tv and other background colors interfering or something...

But it's annoying as he'll to me and it's almost about one stop of light missing... (for me anyhow). So I will edit everything, then do a batch edit and bump my exposure up on the whole group by 0.75 or 1.0 to get it where it should have been.

I think it's more than just exposure that it's effecting. I did a +2 on this, and it still looks crappy compared to the original. It never did this before to me...I wonder why it just started now?
