    Great shots all around. These ones especially remind me of what I love about events at RA. There are things you see there that just seem natural at the time, but if you saw them anywhere else, you'd pretty much lose your shit.

    What camera/lens are you you using for the wide-angle shots? Any post-processing?

        All of them turned out awesome. I see some hued shadow levels, like a purple or blue tint to them.

          Very likely. Native photos app doesn't have very advanced editing software, but it does a good enough job for the time being just to get a better look out of the images. I edit all of these in like 2-3 minutes.

            Some photos from the weekend. Rented a 70-200 2.8L III. Was fun to use some nice glass. Definitely going to be doing this for all the major events. The gulley washer made for interesting track conditions, also some great pictures.

                Rtic was supposed to ship my replacement cooler last wednesday and were going to send it via two day so i'd have it Friday.  I reached out Wednesday and was told i'd get shipping info that day... Nothing.  I reached out Thursday and nothing.  Friday I left for RA.  Monday still hadn't received tracking info. Tuesday I requested a refund and they responded and said it will take 5 days to post 😠.  I've been very patient with FedEx and Rtic and they've both totally fucked me.  It's not even that the cooler got lost that pisses me off it's now they handled the conflict that really pisses me off.  I'd be happy as could be if they would have just reacted immediately.  Time to start looking for another new cooler I guess.

                  That sounds infuriating. I get really stressed out when I have money floating around in space with nothing to show of it. Hopefully you get refunded asap.

                    Well that's frustrating. Hope the replacement effort works out!

                    Search "RTIC cooler shipping issues" and issues similar to yours pop up.

                      I’ve been pretty happy with my generic Walmart Lifetime cooler. Keeps a 20lb bag of ice solid for 3 days. These electric coolers are very well priced at Costco too. https://www.costco.com/massimo-cx50-12v-portable-e-kooler.product.100566509.html

                        Welp, I got shipping confirmation today.  At this point if they send me a cooler and a refund I'd say they're just out of luck.  A small part of me hopes FedEx fucks up again just for the sake of comedy at this point.

                            Well I found out my brother gets access to the full Adobe Creative Cloud through the University of Michigan(I don't know why, his doctorate has nothing to do with any kind of digital media), so I snagged his login info and download Lightroom and Photoshop on my Mac. Such a better program.

                              I also get it though the UW system for free. I just have to sign up for it every year. Pretty neat if you ask me.

                                  It was hard to find, My dad works for UW-Stout so he directed me to the right place. Its been going on for years. The whole UW system pays for licenses. You just gotta register for them or whatever.

                                    My wife took a photography class when we got our camera 6 or 7 years ago strictly so we could get Photoshop and Lightroom for free from the class. I'm sure I use about 1% of it's power but I love it.

                                      I had held onto CS6 as long as I could for the few times a year I needed Photoshop or Illustrator. I bought all 3 Affinity apps when they were on sale earlier this year for $25 each. I haven't really dived into them yet but I think even $50 is a great price. Windows/Mac/iOS versions too.

                                        @KaiserRolls thread updates are proof that my helicoil hell was a success.

                                        sucks when months later you read of a shop that recommends 9 ft-lb instead of 11 because they have seen the same issue repeatedly. Would have been nice to try that instead

                                          Can confirm the success, however when I pulled into my driveway at 12:30AM it was spewing coolant. What the hell man??? I’m gonna lemon law your a$$
