I have a D70 and I know that there are filters out there that fit the stock D70 lens to give "stars" to all reflective areas. I thought about getting one, but didn't think I'd have much use for it.

Whenever shooting, I either use a simple UV filter, a circular polarizer, or a "sky light" filter.

Nice camera! Digital SLR's rock!

I've never been much for trick filters or obvious Photoshop filters, but thare are tons of them out there. I found a Photoshop star-flare brush for free on Adobe's Studio Exchange during lunch today. You can tell that it's not real, but it does create a pleasing effect. Nice that someone created it and uploaded it for free download.

I don't want to hijack this thread any more that I already have, so if anyone else is interested in this, we should probably start a new thread.

i AGREE i think we need to either get goiung a moroso meet on a friday or Saturday night OR do a Dyno day event so we can see what outr cars actually put out and at a cheaper group rate. I know i would prob not ever get my ride dyno'ed otherwise. It wouldnt be much fun! But I think Moroso would be more fun then do the Dyno the following week/month or so RX

Lets set something set up for next month. Unfortunately I'm not the one to do it b/c I've never been to the track, but maybe Jose can take the lead on that one??? I will definately attend.

By the way, where is the video of the Sleeper? Did you upload it anywhere? I want to try and see myself in the back seat......

Not much to set up, the few things to figure out are:

1) set up a date: are Fridays or Saturdays better to run at Moroso? Less crowded maybe?
2) think of a place where we can all meet and caravan up. 2 of the directors happen to live on the same street which happens to be very close to the Turnpike, so that kinda predetermines the meeting point and route
3) what time would the caravan meet at? What time do the gates open?
4) inform attendees of track dress code, etc (so that nobody gets sent off like Austin did once... haha)

I'd love to run my car but that would be impossible on the tires I have right now. So I guess I'll be the official caravan picture taker and video operator again.. but Pablo has been officially delegated the honor of making this happen
