thanks guys! i wasn't trying to shoot "artwork" just event pics so bear that in mind, plus the weather/lighting never seemed to be on my side. i wasn't ever in the right spot at the right time to get the most out of a pic but such is life. i can't wait for ZdayZ '10!!!

Nice! I wanted to go too but I can only justify once a year...
It looks like this is the perfect time of year to go up there!!

Good job sir, I like the colors. Were you using a filter?

^ Tackling it with the Z is one of the best experiences of my life. I had a smile from ear to ear the whole drive.

I hear it's similar to the 211 part of the mountain up here, but many more turns packed into a short distance, is that correct?

318 curves in 11 miles on the dragon itself. plenty of other good driving roads like the skyway where the pics above were taken. i didn't take any pics on the actual dragon because it was all i could do just to hang on lol. then the 2nd time i was driving my friend's nismo

Right. 211 meets skline up here, and skyline is the only place I get a chance to take pics.
318 in 11 miles! Yeah, that's the one I heard about. I need to make a trip there next spring!
