Thanks!

Just for the record, that has not been altered in any way in Photo Shop or any other program. That is EXACTLY as the camera saw it. I just used a long exposure and a smaller aperture... Great tricks I have learned in school!

Where is the Aug Wiedershen sign? I don't think i know where that one is in Frankenmuth, and my wife didn't know either.

I like the long exposure shot. I think a little more time on it would have helped though to brighten up the orange a bit more though. Love the sharp contrast on the car though, really shows off it's angles and curves.

might have to try one of those someday once i get the new camera. I am pretty sure I can run our studio lights off of a power converter and my jump pack. I'd like to try a few with the holga or the diana once it warms up and i get some film too.

Thanks Josh! Yeah, I agree a little longer might have looked better, but my battery died on the camera right after that shot!!!

As for the sign, do you know where the Marv Hertzog hotel is? It's new within the last few years. Anyways, there is a parking garage (if you can call it that) underneath, and that is the ramp to it. It's a couple buildings down from the Frankenmuth Brewery Resturant, well, when it was a restaurant!
