First and introduction to the cruise on which these photographs were taken.

Now for some 'teaser' pics.

We are in the overlook just before the Lin Cove Viaduct planning and getting ready for our first pass.

At about noon plus 5 minutes we will make our first run as soon as KYGXP's son is in place.

Anthony is now in place with his CANNON and my NIKON D 80 and 55-200 lens after a 1 mile hike up the viaduct trail to a rock perch similar to the one slightly left of center and above the Viaduct in this picture.

We made three passes to get shots of all the cars together on the viaduct.

Sorry I'm late, had a lot going on since we got home. Haven't had the time to play with pictures. I ended up only getting a couple of shots that had every car in it, due to a few gaps in the line. But I think it turned out really well. Here is the finished product.

The picture underwent it's share of editing tho. As chili mentioned before, the cars behind her were a little close. So that was fixed.

And of course I had to fix my mom's car for her =)
It's alot cheaper than a body shop!
(and you can't tell anything was ever wrong)

here's the original image if anyone is interested.

It was great to meet all of you that were there, I'm positive that I'll see you again.

Spectacular!!!!! Well done KYGXP jr. Was a little concerned about your position on the rock taking that photo but still... Great photo. Next time you do that, bring rope for the waist and set an anchor.
