[Ducati] Cavallino Ferrari Meet Palm Beach (NDC)

[Veloce916 at aol.com]

Thanks Kath, sorry you missed it, would have been a nice surprise to see  you 
there. For what it's worth, they do this every year - Friday is the Ferrari  
Challenge and lots of Ferrari only racing and track time.  Pretty normal to  
see "real" GTO's dicing in a pack. Hard not to think how darn priceless they 
are  when they some sliding by like that.  Saturday they do a concours on the  
lawn at the Breakers. It seems to get better every year from a content  
standpoint. The combination of the weather and the long standing quality of the  
event makes it hard to miss if you have a Ferrari so the cars that turn up are  
spectacular.  Finally on Sunday there's another concours that allows other  
makes and models so that's a nice day as well.  Anybody can go, it's a $50  ticket 
for Sat at the Breakers but that's what these events cost now - I saw the  
prices last year for the Monterey stuff and about fainted, rock concert prices,  
made this one look cheap now that I think about it. Anyway it's worth a quick 
 trip out of the cold for. West Palm Beach airport has some great cheap fares 
and  there's lots of hotel deals if you look for them.
As for my lens, it's an 18-200 Nikon, nothing added.  I also have a  Tokina I 
like for the wide angle stuff.  It's probably the subjects -  automotive 
supermodels basically...

Damn, I  can't believe it...we're in Palm Beach (well, Delray Beach, a  
town  or two south) now for a wedding....could have gone and didn't  
even  know...I can't believe it!  Well we're going to take a drive up   
this afternoon before we fly home, perhaps we'll catch a few   
stragglers...

seems to resolve really  well...also, you using a polarizer?
