What, the Whole Foods Store at Bay Meadows? 
Actually, the pics Gusb posted last week are the most demanding terrain in Redwood City.
No way!!!! I know there some Hills there especially on Alameda!!!!

Also lots of rough trails in Burlingame too. Feel sorry for this Jeep picking its way down the main drag.
Just curious - how are you doing these semi-chromatic photos ??

I can do some pretty odd effects on my Nokia 1020 (41meg , Carl Zeiss lens) , but the black and white chromatic effect is nothing like the one from Gusb...

Sarge/Fast Eddie - I could tell you my secrets but then I'd need to kill you ... Just kidding 
.
The HDR stuff can be pretty over-the-top horrible but recently it's got me going/interested in photography again. There's some really bad stuff out there but some really cool stuff too - just Google HDR . I shot film for years, Hasselblad, Nikon, view cameras, etc. These days with digital it's Canon SLRs with pretty good prime lenses (even some T/S) - don’t like zooms. I’m about due for a new full-frame body - mine is old and a crop sensor to boot - never had a full frame sensor. Also have an iPhone I like a lot. I use HDR/PhotoShop/LR, etc. software and do a lot of tweaking but it’s still a kind of crapola in - crapola out thing. You need a decent eye, technique and a little experience.
The Whole Foods shots are iPhone that were post processed with tone-mapping after the fact. Kind of a fake HDR but you can get creative. They just don’t enlarge that well of course. The Jeep B&W in Burlingame is a good camera/lens and 3 different exposures pulled together and tweaked later in software - a more real kind of HDR. The Jeep was hand-held, could have been better on a tripod. All about dialing the special effects back and trying not to get too crazy. The table top clamp/support shot is just the Canon (straight shot) with available light from the garage window.

Dedicated equipment is definitely the only way to go - the tech part is just way too far above my experience level . I do appreciate what it takes to make those shots - it's the details in the photo that count to me and the way it looks so smooth . Very nice job , always wished I had spent more time learning photography...

Cleaned and banged the water hose clamp out a little straighter, has no cad finish left. I'll keep my eye out for another in better shape down the road. The hose (installed by me earlier - PO had a shutoff) maybe looks a little long? Did a quick cleanup and rattle-can on the bracket stand and clamp. Seem to go on OK and really stabilizes the hose assembly - probably not that important overall.

Thanks subzali - I was going to ask if anyone knew what the length should be. How much coolant is lost pulling that hose - big mess, etc.? Everything was empty when I put it on.
that bracket is very important for the air cleaner intake... my intake cracked without it from vibration. Had to remove it completely until I find the support bracket

Yeah antFJ - think I noticed some stress around that front bolt, cracked paint, etc. It does seem a lot more rigid with the bracket.
Got a few more hours in the garage the last few days, felt good. Plus some quality time last week Bridgeport/tool hunting with KiwiDog before he shot back to Canada - good time.

Slapping together a makeshift alternative weld cart from an old cheap Sears cart.

Seems to work - might lower the welder at some point. Rack still removable to transport bottles in the 40.
