That sounds like a great idea. We can get the Orlando boys in here to. Im thinking if we are going that route to get a BBQ going. We can charge $10 for people who want to eat and drink, and then get a collection for a raffle. I can get some lights from work to light the place up in the evening.

Sorry couldnt make it guys. Post up some pics! I know Rob has a camera

I've heard that photomatix does a better job with HDR images than CS3 does.....I guess it's true. I have been pretty unsuccessful with my HDR attempts. Do you use the full photomatix program or the PS plug-in?

PS just lets you adjust contrast, sharpness, ect... But photomatix, let you adjust how much gamma, luminosity,light smoothing, strength, W point, B point etc...

I think it made sense and will be a beneficial change. After I get the ECU back from the speed limiter flash I will be going to VIR in a few weeks and I will data log everything. I found some descent logging software online. Thanks for the tweeking last night.

Directions from I95...

Take Port St.Lucie West exit and go east.
Your first light (Peacock) make a left.

It will be on the left.

This will be our base meeting spot from now on. Im trying to plan a couple of meets in the near future. One in Vero, and one in the Fort Pierce Nisssan stores. They have been asking us to do this for a while now. We also have to get together with the OZOC guys like we did last year.
