The bigger problem was all the pictures were way too dark. lol
They looked a lot brighter on the camera. Then I opened them on the pc and they were dark af, way darker than I expected.
The sun was also below the horizon at this point.
Straight out of camera JPEG?

Nah I'm not good enough for that lol
I got Lightroom.
Ohh fancy! So these are edited JPEG?
Like Harry Potter said shadows need a boost and saturation turned down.

Personally I think the saturation and contrast works here, overall. Shoot in RAW if you aren’t yet. For these I would boost the shadows in addition to bringing down the blacks. Will give you some great midrange and mid-shadow detail and contrast. Sky looks like the highlights need to come down a bit.

Had a blast driving yesterday. Once the morning rain cleared out and the roads dried up I went up for an early evening run before the rain came back later on.
Only got one run in but I had some guy in a BMW (340 is my guess) chase me the whole way so it was a white knuckler. He stayed right with me except for one really big right hand turn that I counter steered into and then absolutely hit the perfect line coming out. I think he got scared by the counter steer cause he disappeared for a few seconds but he started pushing really hard after that so we stayed together the rest of the way down.
Really felt held back by my tires tho so I'll accelerate my time frame to replace them. They're scary in the rain now at this point anyway so it isn't worth trying to take them to the minimum.
