So I was on my way home from Fast 5 when I decided to take some photos. I usually shoot with my Canon XTi, but I didn't have it with me today, so I used my Droid X that I just got. I was very surprised by the quality of photos it takes. I did use photoshop to touch up some of the photos, and add contrast. I know it's pretty ridiculous but there are 40+ pics. I always have such a hard time picking just a couple...so I posted them all lol. Let me know what you think.

Masterful shots, SoSleek. I love all the contrasting textures in the background, and, of course, the Solara is the focal point in every frame.

I bet you could man, just play around with it. These are taken with a Droid X. I find that sunrise and sunset are the best times. Also keep an eye out while driving for nice photo ops!

Thank you

I was just cruising home from the Fast Five movie, and stumbled across that interesting building you see in the first set of photos. I didn't realize how nice of a spot it was until i saw the cool textures in the cement, and then the exposed original brick surface underneath. That paired with the nice rustic building made for some great backdrops! I was done shooting and headed out when I stumbled upon the bridge setting and then the buildings in the cliff spot. I stumbled upon all of them when I accidentally missed an exit and got off route. Thanks Jimmm!

Thanks. The tint is 10%. It meters at 11%. Cops stop me because anything under %50 is illegal here in MN. Luckily I have good relationship with my optometrist and she gave me a prescription for it. 8)
