Hey RM - I rode by Morton's on Saturday! I wish that I could have stopped.
I like this picture a lot though even though I don't feel like it is visually particularly strong or interesting. I was riding a competitive rally in VA over the weekend and to me, this picture of my buddy Mike trying to find a bonus location communicates what competitive rallies can be like.
This particular bonus was the grave of the arm of Stonewall Jackson in a very remote location, and once we got to the location, we had a bit of trouble finding the granite marker designating the grave.
It's an image of a group dynamic for me because I had never ridden a rally with another rider before.
Yes, we found it. If the gate is down you need a pass from the visitor's center, if not you can just go in.Interesting, I just looked it up, I'll have to go down there, not far from my digs. So did you guys find it? The website roadsideAmerica says you need a pass to get into the site, but I found the road leading to the house on maps.google.

We have another thread for that.I've got nothing.
WMUBrown joins us this week with a number of interpretations from the Falling Leaf Rally. I love the one above. It's an outstanding and thoughtful composition. This is the sort of photo that tells its own story. It's early the next morning. It's at least day two of the rally. Everyone stayed up late around the campfire, passing a bottle and telling lies. In the wee hours they staggered off to their tents to snore the stars away. What fun! I like this shot. When I post-processed this shot, I would straighten the horizon. But I wouldn't change anything else in this very successful image.
WMUBrown's other contribution that caught my eye was this one. This is another excellent interpretation of this week's theme. Had he the presence of mind and time, if he had slowed the shutter speed slightly, he could have panned this shot, adding sense of speed and de-emphasizing the background. But that's Monday morning quarterbacking. It's a cool shot. 50 bonus points for a sidehack. 100 bonus points for each rider beyond the legal three, for a total of 300 points. Minus 50 points for no ATGATT adults (100 points) and minus 100 points for no ATGATT kids (300 points), leaving him with a total of -50 points. Ouch. That's gotta hurt.
Thanks for the feedback...
