Jon,

Water is cooler, waves are better. Standing on the beach in Encinitas this morning I was thinking about that hobo Willie. Wondering if he's sunk His toes in the sand in Florida yet. Wish him all the best.

Holy Gomers, Petey. That's a wall of water. The tow from the waverunner is hot. Gotta try that.

Jon,

That GG-1 is one fine unit. Is it really brass? I am very impressed.

San, It's solid brass except for the die-cast truck side frames and pilots!! I'll upgrade it to TMCC sometime this Spring. Believe it or not ,but this unit is actually Brunswick Green. For some reason the pics keep showing up as Tuscon Red/Brown. :evil: :x :x :x

Are you shooting it with available light? Is your layout room lit with incandescents?
That may explain the color shift.
Try setting your camera to indoor light White Balance. That may help correct the color balance.
Now,
As for the young lady. even with nice scenery such as that I have always been of the opinoin of

Yes, even that kind.
Personally, butt cleavage is something that SHOULD NOT be seen, it's just too gross.
Now, if it was embellished with a visable thong...

I use a Nikon D-100, but I belive almost all of the cameras have settings for WB.
A throwback to older Pro Video cameras.
If you are upgrading, try to get a camera that can accept a external flash. This will allow you to use flash, off the camera, and control your light better.
I give photo seminars at the National Wild Turkey Federation's Women in the Outdoors program, (women with guns...) and the first thing I tell 'em is "I don't reccoment any one brand name, or try to sell anything"
Which I won't do here.
Find something with:
High pixel rating
No (or very short) shutter lag.
An optical viewfinder.
White balance settings.
Try to use the canadates in the store, or at least check out the specs on the Mfgr's web site. I don't trust salesfolks to know all the features of an item. Especally at "big Box" stores (Circuit City, and such) cause they might have came over to digital cameras from car audio or some such crap the day before.
I do reccomend using a camera store.

Jon, another great shot. The Blue Ridge does get into a lot of the photos.
