I got up early and took some pic's of the RS along the lakefront over the holiday weekend. Minutes after these pic's were taken the sky cut loose and poured rain for the rest of the afternoon.
Enjoy,
Pete

I used a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 14-24mm 1:2.8 lens and a Speedlight SB-900 flash mounted off camera via a sync cord. The photos were taken in Program mode at ISO 200 with Center Weighted metering and the Vibrance and D-Lighting contrast both set at their maximum settings. The files were then cropped, color corrected, white balanced, and sharpened in Photoshop CS4. The photos were taken about one hour after dawn with the sun pretty low on the horizon, reflecting across the lake and creating a yellow warm color cast.

Takes me back to the late 90's when Chicago was on the 'A' list of places to take family and friends when they came out to visit me in Michigan over a three year period..........what do the Mustang / Corvette crowd think of the RS?
