    AlexD,

    That's a wonderful shot! I never thought it would turn out so well -- the color of the bridge is so vibrant and...Golden. I really love the wave -- you caught it just in time! Thanks, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the pics.

    Check 6.

    Alex; living here for 23 years, I never knew why they call it the "Golden Gate".

    Today, I understand.

    One question Alex: How many times did you have Artherd jump into the water before you got the timing just right?

    just once. He didn't make a big enough splash, so we gave him a bucket and made him throw water against the bulkhead.

    LOL!

    Beautifully shot. Today in the Marin drive someone suggested that the photo needs to be photoshoped indicating that the container ship contains a shipment of new Ferraris.

    Good pic Alex. Too bad the wave isn't behind Alfonso's car, then it'll look like it's making waves :p

    Beautiful and alive with action of the waves. Sunset, bridge, and car - red, red, and red. Awesome. Where are the other shots, Alex?

    If you could have got that car on a level spot, it would have been PERFECT. Still it is a 9.9!!

    If someone had painted that picture, people would say that they overdid the color and that it wasn't realistic. It is that beautiful.

    Nice work!!

    Hi, Sting168.

    The shot was taken around 0700 hours PST, Saturday, 8-Dec-08. It was really a tough shot because of lighting; but, AlexD, being the hot-shot shooter, worked it out. Thanks.

    BTW, it was great seeing you at FofSF for the unveiling of the 2008 Scuderia F430.

    Check 6.

    /s/ Alfonso

    Thanks for shooting Miles, and driving him in your car for the photo shoot, AlexD.

    Miles was so patient for the entire shoot. He just waited in AlexD's car for his call-time. When he was called to the set, he was extremely professional and never complained.

    Check 6.

    Hi, SoftwareDrone.

    You had me laughing off my chair with this comment.

    Artherd: How many times did you jump into the water? I counted around 10 before you went into hypothermal shock.

    Check 6.

    /s/ Alfonso

    Hi, OneofMillions.

    Funny, but when I saw that container ship, I said to AlexD, "Santa just finished dropping off a fresh batch of Ferraris to all the kids who were nice for 2007."

    I'm glad you enjoyed the Marin drive, 9-December-08. I hope to be at the next one and meet you in person.

    Check 6.

    /s/ Alfonso

    Alfonso, these are great shots of your beautiful 328. I loved the angle. It was great seeing you at the 430 Scuderia introduction. What a car!

    Any time, Miles is a great dog - not even I could have sat in the back seat of my car for that long.

    LOL Mike, Alex & Alfonso! While I always enjoy making waves; I still don't know why I had to wear the SR mankini...
