Billboard-type sign of James Dean - - just because!  Way out in another area of Podunk Nowhere!

Actually, James Dean was killed in a car accident on this Hwy.-west of here by a whole bunch of miles . 
This sign sits west of Lost Hills; we were on our return trip from the Mojave Desert.

A different perspective of this (including one more priceless sign!) in my Contender gallery

(Photo time today was spent adding to Mojave Desert gallery)

SmugMug > popular today > We had severe weather this afternoon and tornado sirens were getting a workout.  After the rain and storms passed, I went out to shoot a few pictures before sundown.  I am trying to keep my streak of not having to shoot indoors intact.  There is nothing fancy or complicated about this shot.

Speaking of post processing, I finally uploaded all of the baseball/softball pictures HERE.

What an eye opener that whole process was.  For one thing I applied the Auto Tone preset to all of them.  Some look better, some look worse and some just look different.  I set the proof delay to 7 days so if anyone buys a photo I will redo the pp before it goes to print.

When I took the team picture, I kind of choked under pressure a bit.  I wanted to use my flash for fill but I didn't have it set right. So by dropping the shutter speed down it overexposed the shot.  My second mistake was having the back row in the sun and the front row in the shade.  It took me more than an hour in phtoshop to fix my blunders but now it looks pretty decent.

We learn from our mistakes and I got quite an education these past couple of days.
