I have always wanted one....well first it was a black 95 Impala SS, then I saw the 740iL and said screw the Impala SS I will have a 740iL one of these days. And well I have one now and absolutely love it (it will never leave my hands) I said that about the GXP too but it did :sad5:

On a side note, what kinda of camera did you take these pictures with?

Killer pics! Care to post the untouched pictures? Just wondering if the blur is real.

Are you serious dude? You can just ask me. There is 1 picture that I added a little more blur to me and yes I will post the originals one sec.

Come on Haro I know what I am doing ;) Most the pictures were shot at F18 and yes my Kit lens is super dirty(I cant clean it well its not worth cleeaning a $250 kit lens.) It doesn't help I used my own camera to shoot pictures while getting dusted by Helo's in Iraq when I was Marine Corps.

Ha, reminds me of the dirty lens on my old Sony. Thanks for posting those, you obviously have some good PS skills!

I have a few but really shooting RAW FTW. And the composition has to be there when I take the picture so I say its both sides of the spectrum.

Really what I did in PS if anyone wants to know how I got it to look like that:

1st picture- Dropped it a stop(or2 maybe), Saturation, Contrast, Unsharp masked,
2nd picture- Contrast Brightness, some Motion blur in the fields and road(which if you look closely you can tell), Channel Mixer, Unsharp mask
3rd picture- Same as above except there was no motion blur.
