Crappy pics, but they should get the point across...

Those are great shots. Especially considering the distance you took them from...:)

Just a little time with photo editing software.

There are so many ways to go, this is just one possibility.

LOL, and say good bye to your real life. The photo toys are lots o' fun, but definitely serious time suckage material.

I really like these shots - enhanced or no. It does a great job of showing just how lined up this thingy was. I kinda like the moody foggy feel of you (maybe inadvertently) captured, too.

New meaning to the expression 'corduroy'...

Thanks for the comments. It was definitely inadvertent, I usually just take a sh!t ton of pics and hope one or two come out ok.

Totally corduroy.

LOL, yeah, pretty much the main advice even the pro guys will give you is "shoot lots." Of course, if you remember what you did right when you hit it good, so much the better :-)

Yar Dude

couple ways to play with shots - you can toy with basics in Paint, or Microsoft Photo Editor if you have a PC. Right click on a photo file and choose 'open with' to see a list of these programs you "might have". Macs have more stuff already packaged in I believe.

Play with brightness, contrast, and cropping and these basics help a great deal.

You can download Gimp for free and loose your mind figuring it out - but there is online help to get you through:

come back offline if you want to shoot the sh.t or meet you at the brewery

OH MUGUVIAN - those shots are shocking, cause I know the perpective and I've seen little else like it!
