So, apart from cars, my other big hobby is photography, which is brilliant because I get to combine the two. I still prefer to take my car down the quarter more though.
Anyway, I know there are some photographers on here, so I figured I'd go ahead and post a couple of galleries for constructive criticism. I will probably add more down the road. For the iphone/ipad users, all the galleries unfortunately are in Flash as I simply export from Lightroom.

- With a little help I spent the day doing some basic paint correction on my buddy's old GT that he had just bought back, so this was a bit of improvised picture taking. Basically no editing and post processing was done on these as I wanted the paint to speak for itself: http://galleries.kontrakarma.net/mustangs/rays_03_gt/
- I got bored on day while hanging out at the shop, so I asked my buddy if he would mind volunteering his car. I took out a lot of paint chips in post processing. #5, always wanted to try doing a rolling shot. We got quite a few weird and worried looks from passers by: http://galleries.kontrakarma.net/mustangs/trevors_92_gt/
- A friend of mine with an affinity for both Corvettes and Mustangs traded his Z06 in on this thing. #6, clearly Redfire was such a fast color that GM decided they had to use it on the ZR1: http://galleries.kontrakarma.net/cars/erics_zr1/
- Volkswagens, and a lot of them, but I wanted to take pictures of something other than Domestics, and these guys were around the corner. Post processing wise it was my first attempt at a mild split toning. #28, gotta love it. #42, yes, that's the side view mirror on my vert, and no, I couldn't help it: http://galleries.kontrakarma.net/ncdubs_food_drive_11_2010/
- Draggin Rights is a local event that usually runs biannually, has some classes, but is mostly just street car TnT. #19-30, I had a feeling the car was going to pull a wheelie, so for once I was ready and got lucky. #35-41, my all time favorite Saleen bar none. The owner rolled into it very easily off the line, so you can see how the car starts twisting when the torque sets in on #38-39. It broke the Viper spec T56, and twisted the driveline components somewhat bad on the following pass due to the power: http://galleries.kontrakarma.net/dragging_rights_fall_2010_set1/
- ..and Set 2. #23-24, interestingly enough the high side exhaust provides about 200lbs of downforce on the right wheel pair, with the car on a set of scales, and the transbrake on 5500rpm: http://galleries.kontrakarma.net/dragging_rights_fall_2010_set2/

- I'd been trying to get my buddy to let me at least attempt a paint correction of the heavily oxidized roof on his Lightning. I did get rid of most of it, but I was a bit scared of the deeper swirls, so I let it be. 8 hours later the truck looked bad ass enough to make me go for the camera.
