Picture quality seems better than I remembered and the watermark is already nice IMO.

last time around, I took those suggestions/observations to heart
I'm not very good at doing logos, but im much more pleased with the new watermarks' look... of course, its not very logo-ish
For all the on track photos, i used a quantaray 100mm-300mm lense... as the canon 18-55 wouldn't be anywhere near as useful from those distances. for the close ups, the 18-55 worked great... it was an extremely sunny day, so i uped the f stop to get as sharp an image as i could, and set the focus to AI... it reallyworks great for moving objects
the cars were going fast enough to still have a relatively fast shutter speed, and still have the desired effect... the final image was done at:
Focal length 142.0mm (142/1)
Exposure time 0.008 s (1/125)
Aperture f/9.0
ISO equivalent 200
my only major complaint is the quality of the lense... going past 210mm, and the image quality starts going down noticably... and at 300mm... its like a filter for taking bad pictures is put on (for cars on a track... closer objects still end up looking quite nice). even at teh 150mm range i was shooting at that day, its still noticable
By next summer, i'd like to have at least one new lense.... and perhaps even with anti-shake
about the elise' high speed breathing problems... this elise has teh 180hp toyota motor... and its great for tighter turn exits, but just as you, and RC said... its feeling athsmatic at higher speeds... i'd love to see a honda 2.2L VTEC powerplant fitted to one... You cant fit a supercharger in the elise' engine bay... but an exige you can (now theres an option with the 240R)... mabey not the high torque # RC is speaking of... but its definately what i think belongs in it.

the logo wattermark - it shouldn't touch the edge of the pic IMO
