yes !!!

that one looks great - well, it looks much better, but the demarc line gradualy gets blurry.

it doesn't just get blurry "all of the sudden" (Family Guy reference)

MATT0404 · 05-23-2011, 06:27 PM

Litos, those pics made me want to move back to TX!

Here's one of my recent shots:

Haha.. thanks! This was the most exciting thing I've done in my life second to sky diving. My total hike time was 22 hours.
This pic was taken at 12,000+ ft.. You can probably tell since the clouds are below me.

Weebl · 05-23-2011, 10:20 PM

I think one time I hiked 2 hours round trip.
Congratulations on that one, at 12k I'd explode or pass out.

Nice shot, Matt! Oh and, Litos.....when are you coming to Chicago to BBQ for all the Chicago Zpost peeps?

Another large pix (doesn't show well if it's too small........and this is, coincidentally, wallpaper sized for a 1680x1050 display):

Chewy734 · 05-24-2011, 08:53 AM

you went to jail? finally...

The1 · 05-24-2011, 08:55 AM

haha, beautiful shot. I loved going there to check it out, was very cool

Chewy734 · 05-24-2011, 09:14 AM

nice shot, but it's a little too dark for my tastes... maybe bump up the exposure a little?

M_Six · 05-24-2011, 09:14 AM

Really nice shot, Jeff. Gives an interesting juxtaposition of architectural styles. The prison still looks classic and formidable. The more modern buildings to the left look like communist crap.

MATT0404 · 05-24-2011, 08:32 PM

Nice shot, Jeff. Very clean and sharp.

Here's another manufacturing shot:

haha, slight departure from your norm

adrean8j · 05-25-2011, 09:09 AM

I was thinking it might be, but i couldn't see any brabus badging on it.

and i thought the Brabus wheels were a different colour?

I could be wrong, when i was looking at one, i was flirting quite a bit with one of the girls at the auto show, so i was definitely distracted.

slavik · 05-25-2011, 09:36 AM

not a brabus smart...lowered on bilstein shock/struts....verde ithaca lambo paint and stock wheels painted black-has full audio system and matching interior as well

adrean8j · 05-25-2011, 09:42 AM

Wow...i am surprised anyway that people would even do that type of stuff to a Smart.

The1 · 05-25-2011, 09:54 AM

I'm not really, it's a whole scene in the UK that take the smallest most economical cars (lowest insurance) that do that to these cars.

however if i were to grab one of these, i'd leave it stock, that way nobody would look twice at it, and i could get amaizing mileage. Then have another car that is the opposite.
