Hi Pentaxian friends.
As a follow-up to yesterday's post, here are some pictures of the Mustangs we saw at a gas station off of highway 15, on our way to Las Vegas.
Carroll Shelby is an icon in the Mustang performance world. On January 11th, a group of Shelby owners from Los Angeles drove to Las Vegas to celebrate his 87th birthday. We were lucky enough to be at a gas station when about one hundred of these Mustangs stopped to refuel. Shelby's main goal in life, we were told, has simply been to move faster, whether it was in the airplanes he’s flown or the cars he’s raced. Shelby’s legacy is one defined by the many roles he took in the automotive world and by the legendary high performance Mustangs he created.
Having my Pentax K-7 and my K-x allowed me to capture these wonderful Mustang pictures. I tried to get close to the cars as there were too many distractions in the background. I have never been surrounded by so many nice cars. They were to meet at the Las Vegas race track with more Shelby enthusiasts. What a weekend they must have had!
Thanks for reading,
Yvon Bourque

Cool happenstance to run into such an amazing group of cars, and thanks for sharing the pics.
Just wanted to say... this whole pic set comes across as too blue/cool in color balance, on my monitor at least. Don't remember noticing this on previous images in your blog, so perhaps it was just the light in this day and place.

Dude, Mustangs are cool, but we want to hear about your conversations with Pentax staff! Tear up those NDAs and tell us all!!!!!!!!! :-p
Scott,
You were absolutely correct. All the pictures were too blue/cool in color balance. I posted them by exporting them as a batch file from RAW to JPEG and the settings were definitely too blue. I corrected all of them and posted them a little bigger. Good observation.
Miserre,
I know Dude, I am posting about Pentax next. However, I did not get a lot of news at that gathering. I will explain shortly on a separate post on this blog.
