    Technically, composites are multiple pieces of photos blended together that don’t share the same time frame, location or equipment. Which is Digital Art.

    The Milky Way shots are Star Stacked to reduce noise. The truck front view shot was also Focused Stacked, which is a blending process. The others are 9 shot HRD’s. Each image was shot multiple times with my Tripod in the same position.

    Every year I'm asked to pull together a calendar, but I haven't the time. I've thousands of photos to process.

    Thank you all!!! Have an awesome Friday and a better WEEKEND!

    Mild lift installed yesterday. Bilstein 5100s all around, front set to 4th notch (1.55 inches), with 1 inch blocks in rear. Before and after pics below. The difference is subtle but I think it’s just the right height for my 265/70/17 tires.

    I have noticed that several pictures of mine also come out looking like Voodoo. I always have to play with the colors and backlighting a bit to get it looking correct...

    The blue just looks great in photos. I take far too many pictures of my BBP.

    Took this one at sunset in the shadow of the mountain. Was a pretty scene that night.

    I wasn’t to sure how I was going to like the 3.5 compared to the 4.0 but so far I am pleased with it

    I think the 3.5 is adequate for the 3rd gen. But I still prefer the 4.0ltr. The sound of the 3rd gens 3.5 is the biggest drawback to me. Very ticky.

    Ive also noticed that it can sound similar to a diesel at idle when on lower octane fuel. Never seems to have that issue on premium though. Not sure if they are all like that, but my truck doesn't like drinking the cheap fuel.

    I won’t run cheap fuel unless it’s all I can get

    Only ran a few tanks of lower octane fuel in my rig, happened both times. So I only run premium since.
