That's a real big hot pixel!!!!

Matt,
really like it, nice change from frame filling moons. I could see this in the Guggenheim with people drinking champagne while admiring it.


Your shot of the RAV is really impressive too, you do cars very well




Neat, but not in the middle Actually looks a bit like the rule of thirds

Glen
I'm trying to act like a Canon owner. The camera automatically composes for the rule of thirds.

I’d be a bit worried with grain that size!!!!

I just spent an hour cleaning my monitor as it had some sort of smudge on it.... then figured out it was a canon interpretation of the moon...

Xerubus
A close up at that!

Make up your mind! Is it a Rav, or a car? (I do know the answer, btw)

I tried to suck it, but I kept inhaling it...

....as the actress said to the bishop

Gary, I definitely know that it is not a car. Most 4wd (excluding Porsche cars & Subaru cars) don't really have the dynamics to be called a car. Driving 4wd's always amazes me that people give them to their wives as a "safe" car, can't think of anything further from the truth.

Glen,

Exactly.

And given the high CoG of these vehicles, I'd venture to say that many drivers simply don't understand what that does to the dynamics of the vehicle, especially when changing direction.

And there was a minor article I heard on the radio this morning: the highest concentration of 4WD ownership in NSW is in Mosman, where there are no unsealed roads.

That comes as no great surprise, mind you ...

Heard the same report Gary, Mosman, Woollahra then Manly Council areas, hardly an area where one needs a car which has 1 metre of ground clearance

Makes it a hell of a lot tougher to run over the kids at school crossings.

They just duck ... damn! I forgot. The duck's still off!

"However, we do the duck the three very different ways, there is duck with orange, duck with cherries, and duck surprise."

"What is duck surprise?"

"It's duck without orange or cherries"

Fact 1: 4WD vehicles have gained in popularity over the last 10 years.

Fact 2: Volvo has seen a comparitive reduction in sales over the last 10 years.

Coincidence?

I think not.

Bloody Volvo drivers....

Killa, now Volvo make a big 4wd. That would be something to keep away from, especially if you were on a motorbike

And especially if the driver's wearing a bowls uniform and hat.

Look too for a packet of Kleenex on the dash (or rear shelf of a sedan); it's a sign of a converted Camry driver.

you have to wear a terry towelling blue hat and have and iq of 20 and you have to be at least 60 years old! PHEW poor bastards what a pack of bloody drivers and dont forget you have to wear box head sunnies the ones that look like horse blinkers!

Just a query. How many D70 owners drive a Volvo?

Count me out!!!!!!

Cheers
Ray

Damn Dargon! You got me there! 740. Best car ever made. Mine is nearly 18 years old and still drives better, feels stronger, and is soo damned comfortable, that it beats most of the junk on the road today. Would'nt be suprised to discover it was really manufacturerd by NIKON.

Just know this is going to get hot.

Hey Matt, do you drive it right down the middle of the road?

Oh Greg! So cruel!

You call that driving ???

This is extremely freaky MattK. That was a throwaway line and yet of course I do drive one of these 'magnificent' vehicles. OK, OK GregB can now go away and weep real tears of laughter. By way of explanation I have owned a lot of vehicles (eg; every French marque) but have a lot of respect for Volvo engineering, I am a rationalist in the car stakes now. I am also assuming we are in the same age cohort though, given the cost of this 'hobby' it is not surprising I guess. The similarities are interesting in themselves I guess. Perhaps its time for an avatar change. Any of you readers see the Konnisegg Volvo 0-100kph in 3.2 seconds, you can't build something like that without a modicum of engineering knowledge, only problem is that Ford owns the shop now, and I find them focused more on marketing than engineering excellence.

Without wishing to disappoint, my question to Matt was more a reflection of his compositional preferences than his vehicular preferences.

The fact that it fitted in with the Volvo driver thing was entirely fortuitous.

I don't know what a Konnisegg is, I can only assume it is what a Konnis lays.

I wuv a good yolk.
