I am still learning how to take good pictures with the Canon Digital Rebel.

Went to the "abandoned Lincoln Mercury" dealer near my house. I took about 100 MB and 90 MB looked like this. I was playing with the Aperture setting and forgot to set the white balance and the result was a horribly washed out Marauder

Luckily I did shot some in auto mode..

The picture above is my favorite of the day. I will have to remember the "pose".



After some quality time with the owners manual and some emails to Crouse, I figured it out and got a decent picture at home.

Hi Jeremy,

Looks like you've still got the winter tires on?

Winter tires, winter signature. I am thinking the end of March I will change over.

wonder why a L /M dealership would be abandoned? Have you reported this to the Higher-up's?

Maybe "abandoned" is not the correct word. Ford downsized a lot of dealerships lately, combining LM and Ford or just dropping the LM dealership.

Anyway the building is empty, no cars on the lot except mine. Kinda a cool backdrop for a photoshot.

You've blacked out the badge, eh? I really like it. What process did you use?

That is part of my understated Marauder theme. I removed the badge, Krylon primer, Krylon black. It has held up all winter.

Here is an earlier picture of the grill mod :)

Well, its not a bad idea since the factory chroming didn't last the first winter on my MM. How do you like the wilwoods? Factory diameter rotors?

And the cracks in the pavement.

Or, there are 12 things different in the above pictures. Can you find them all?
