Tinkered around and "miniaturized" a couple photos.  Unfortunately gimp doesn't have the lens blur.  It doesn't look as convincing with Gaussian blur.

Maaan, gimp is really inadequate compared to commercial photo editing software.

just because it's missing a "lens blur" feature?

It's missing a lot of things. I tried to switch for a while, and just didn't find what I needed.

And ew, the UI. Eeew.

yeah i'll agree the UI is eww. i haven't actually tried to learn how to use it yet, myself, although i've heard of something called Gimpshop which is supposed to be GIMP under the hood with a Photoshop-esque UI. haven't tried it yet.

What's ironic is that GTK (gimp toolkit) is the UI base a bunch of (mostly linux) apps use.

It's a matter of design, not functionality. :3

Went to the track tonight. didn't really get much. i wasn't in the "picture taking" mood. rather watch the cars race, than worry about taking pictures. especially since our track is so poorly lit, and anything over 600iso is totally unusable, i wasn't up for disappointment.

saw 2 of my friends run in their built, turbo'd hondas. one is an 800HP beast that ran a best of 10.41 out of 2 runs. putting the power to the ground is def an issue for him. he broke into the 9s once, and has yet to get there again.  i believe he is only running 10psi at our local track, but the 800hp was upward in the teens.

another guy from reynosa, mexico has a turbo'd single cam honda running pretty consistent 11.70s on 18psi from a .50trim turbo. it's a pretty budget build, that's working very well.

here is one picture i got of his setup. i'm not very fond of it, but like i said, our track isn't lit very well. plus, his pit area was surrounded by 2 ginormous trailers that were blocking pretty much any available light.

i'm guessing that we'll have way better motion photos and low-light photos, and less noise at high ISO settings (maybe?).

According to the fountain of all knowledge (wikipedia) http://www.sionyxinc.com/ acquired the technology from Harvard in 2006, so I wouldn't necessarily say a consumer application of it was vapourware yet.

I wonder what the total increase in surface area is with these spikey spikes?

And it's black only cause light doesn't escape...insanity!
