Talking Fixed last month's mud "issue" with my car

As the title says y'all gave me a lot of grief for my car being all muddy at the March Monthly meet in Brier Creek.

Well, it is not going to happen this month. Here are some teaser shots of the car sans the mud.

Very nice shots and I love that blue almost as much as my Suzuki

How did you focus on a object and blur out the background?

Thanks.

I use the aperture priority program on the largest aperture (smallest number) and focus on the closest object (to blur the car) or on the furthest object (to blur the plant). There is a 10 foot space between the purple plants and the car. Those shots were like F4.5 with a 2000 shutter speed.

If you do F22 and 120 shutter speed, both the plant and the car will be in focus.

All foreign to me but I work in IT so I will check out my settings on my camera when I get home.

Dang just when I was heading on a midnight mission to Holly Springs, too.

Looking good, Pedro! Can't wait to see it on Saturday.

Hmmm. Mebbe I should buy a Laguna....
