    It was a benefit offroad car show for a couple that lost their baby at birth - fellow wheelers. We were there to support them and help raise money for the baby's funeral because they don't have insurance. She was flexed out because the crowd it was drawing asked us to and we happily obliged.

    No I didn't forget.....I was playing with HDR.

    Is this any better? Edit: Took another shot at it adding some PS to it, as suggested below.

    Slightly cleaner. But contrast is still not punchy like your earlier HDRs. Sorry I am the eternal critic :D

    Jeffro- I agree with tsk1979 in that you can make this better. Just by dropping it into PS and doing a couple adjustments to midpoints and saturating the yellow I got this.

    1236755230_UDxJ9-XL-1.jpg

    My one frustration with the HDR programs is the gray cast that often comes up. Doing a couple more steps in PS (or any editing program where you can do black-midpoint-white adjustment and individual color adjustments) you can get a more realistic image without the cast.

    Thoughts?

    It's still pretty new to me, and I find it kind of tricky too.

    :cry I miss my 2006 Jeep TJ "Golden Eagle".

    I traded it in for a more utilitarian GMC 1500 for carrying my R/C airplanes in. I couldn't afford both (heck, I could barely afford to feed the Jeep... 14mpg :wow)

    I'm about 90 miles S. West of you. I went to a Jeep show and shine in McHenry a few years back, and there were a boat load of built jeeps, so I'm surprised you don't see many. http://www.leiningerphotos.com/Only-In-A-Jeep/Extreme-Jeep-Fest-2008/5416166_wtaHp#331180043_MWwRm

    Extreme Jeep lost it's dealership when everything went bad, but they had quite the following, even a club when they were open.

    I really don't understand why Wisconsin border doesn't have too many offroaders, only tuners and ricers.

    No - no hydraulics. Just put the front locker on and crawl up onto one of the others rigs tires (40" tires) just as you would a boulder. Put it in park and hop out :)

    Nobody's been wheeling lately? My wheeling has been put on hold until my trip to Moab gets here.

    1252333282_Y7JTZ-X2.jpg

    Just loaded the trial version of Elements 9, so I was fooling around. I need to figure out how to darken that plate, while not darkening the rest of the picture....but I'm not a big PS guy, so it may take awhile.
