I guess maybe it does :lol:
Is that a Sonic?
If so I went to one for the First time While at Dale Hollow last year.

yep, it's a Sonic . For some weird reason we have two in this small town. I started to park my truck in one of the ordering slots before I took the shots, but decided against it. Rather, I was stealthily next door in the bowling alley parking lot in the dark with my camera on a tripod. I'm amazed I wasn't arrested or something, lol.
Were the carhops wearing their roller skates at the one you went to?

I don't remember, my buddy and I were so mesmerized with the concept that we were too busy acting like foreigners. :LOL2:

Dang Yankees, lol
. It's a play on drive-up fast-food restaurnats from days gone by where they would hang your tray of food on the drivers-side window. The one thing that I feel Sonic could have done better at these places is to have more room between the slots where you park. Definitely not made for full-size vehicles.Brine said:

Thanks, Mark. I have this one and one other one entered in this week's bi-weekly contest at PhotoZo at the moment. Voting should start this Sunday after 8pm :wink: . I got to choose the topic for next weeks contest due to winning last week's event, but I can't tell you what the topic will be for the upcoming one. It's not a hard one, and hopefully will have some entries.

did you use a flash when taking that picture?
I can't get any of my night shots to come out right... then again - Tiffany won't let me near her SLR so I have to use my Lumix

Thank you. I'm still in a deep learning curve for night shots.

No flash used. I used the timer (2 sec. for this one, but should have longer). Night shots are best achieved using a tripod to avoid blur. I think this was taken at apearture priority, at f/11. I wasn't paying attention to the ISO, and this was at 1600. I need to be able to shoot it at 100-200 ISO, and a longer timer setting for the shutter to stay open longer. Once the I press the shutter release, I cover the viewfinder eyepiece with my thumb to prevent any light from entering through there.
I've heard Lumix is a good camera, does it have any manual settings you can control?
WaterFowler is the night shot guy around here, I'm still learning

Russ depending on your Lumix model it should at least have a night scene mode to use for well, night scenes. This mode could possibly slow your shutter speed to 8 seconds so use the self timer and some sort of support like a tripod or just set it down to take the picture. Look through your camera menu for it I bet it's in there.

Just an update on the contest my "Burger Run" photo is entered in: Total of six entries, and I'm currently in 2nd place with 4 votes; current leader with 9 votes :shock: , and 3rd place behind me has 3 votes. Think I'm gonna miss this one fellas (voting ends this Sunday), but as they said in the "Highlander" movie, "There can be only one", lol.
