Galaxy note 2 using google camera panorama wide angle shot. My car taken after work. Edited with google photo editor using various HDR settings and filters. Just love my car and thought wide angle would make it show its racecar roots with long nose. Came out even better than expected! Good luck to everyone!

Ok so my picture is a bit old but who's faster than Usain Bolt or even better a gold Nissan GTR signed by Usain Bolt!

Background: This is my mini-dachshund Lucia when she was a puppy. My wife thought she needed a den area and threw a blanket over our coffee table. When my wife called her, my dog irrupted from her den and bolted into the kitchen.
 
I'm just posting pictures at least once a week just to let you guys know what I have been up to. lol

I was in a moving car when I took this picture of an old and abandoned factory. This was one of their most visible structure. A large and round metal container.
Taken with my Z2. Edited and color enhanced by Pixlr since it was taken during twilight.

First, the story.

I fell in love with cars when I was 2 years old, I was able to name cars at that age as my mom and I were walking down the street. By the age of 6, I was asking my father to buy me car magazines and being a kid in Israel, I wasn't able to read anything but I loved flipping through the pages. When I was 7 years old, while looking at the classic cars section I came across a car that I instantly fell in love with but not being able to read the text, I didn't know what it was.

Fast forward to 1988, I was living in Brooklyn NY and while channel surfing, I saw that beautiful machine in a movie and come to find out it was a Tucker 48 (AKA Tucker Torpedo). Knowing the story behind the car just made it that much more desirable and I HAD to see one, but with only 51 ever made, the chances were slim.

Fast forward once again to 2014, 33 years since I first come across the Tucker, my wife and I stumble upon the Tallahassee Car Museum while trying to get out of the bad storms. We enter the museum and I see it, in all of its green glory. One of the the greatest automotive stories, a car WAY ahead of its times with features that were never before seen but are still being used.

As phone geeks, we can all appreciate forward thinking and innovation. This car is an example of forward thinking and innovation at its finest.

The top speed for the Tucker was an incredible 120 MPH which was amazing for its time. To show off its speed, Preston Tucker taunted the police and led them on a chase while out running them easily during the chase. This car was a pure speed marvel.

While working yesterday, I heard over my radio we were having a special wide-body visitor to one of our gates. Lo and behold when I go to that gate after a few minutes I see this beauty, a Norwegian Boeing 787-800 Dreamliner. Me and a few coworkers stared in amazement over how big the plane and its engines were. Usually everyone likes to take the cliche shot of them and the front off the engine. I wanted to capture the business end of it, the Part which I feel does the most to get this big bird airborne and at speed.

Its deceiving when you see this bird take off. Its seems like its gliding slowly upowards but in reality its going pretty darn fast and gracefully.

Picture taken with my Nexus 5 running L preview using the L camera (non-dng though) Edited in Lightroom on my PC.
