We have a lot of feral pigs in the hills surrounding or town. This one was kind enough to pose for a portrait.

Between Marietta and Otisco?
Used tripod from KEH + Fuji’s remote control app + the tree above our driveway. Unedited although I did crop out the peak of our neighbor’s roof.
The other night at Waffle House. Shot this with my X100V while awaiting my order. They first had a few to-gos to fulfill.

Marcellus and Otisco. When the Auburn Road was originally built by the Auburn & Syracuse in 1838, they bypassed the village center of Marcellus, but they did provide a station, albeit some some two miles north. The Auburn & Syracuse merged with the Rochester & Auburn in 1850 to form the Rochester & Syracuse and the present two-story Italianate brick structure was erected in 1870. In 1897, the Marcellus Electric Railroad was chartered to provide a direct rail line between the village of Marcellus and the Rochester & Syracuse station, and in 1905, the Marcellus & Otisco Lake Railway was formed to take over operation of the Marcellus Electric Railroad short line. By that point, the Auburn Road was under New York Central control, and the New York Central had it's own station directly in Marcellus, so to avoid confusion, this location was renamed to "Martisco", a contraction of Marcellus and Otisco.
I don’t think I share this yet: Mazda 767B from Classic Mazda’s motorsports party earlier this year.
I posted this on another thread, but this is my favorite pic today. Photographically, and from a composition standpoint, I like it.

This one gets better every time I look at it.

Thank you. It’s right out of the camera, although I might have underexposed it a tick or two.
I did crop it a bit, though, as the peak of our neighbor’s roof bugged me.

What in the world camera and shutter speed are you using?? For years my mom tried with an early Canon DSLR and never could catch a crisp wing on the hummingbirds she lured over to the window.
In reply to GameboyRMH :
That's some messed up front suspension geometry on that first car!
In reply to VolvoHeretic :
On purpose built drift cars the front geometry is modified to eliminate the Ackerman effect. Since the vehicle is traveling in the direction of the front wheel while drifting it's beneficial to have the front wheels parallel, even when turned sharply.
They will also modify the stops or linkage to enable more steering angle to let the tail hang out further while keeping the front wheel pointed in the direction the car is traveling.
