The "WOW" factor

Hello All on a Saturday,



If any of you have been reading my posts you will know my swings from ecstasy to agony then back to ecstasy with my TH. Today I was asked to take some pictures of the Fourteenth annual Our Lady of Guadalupe procession in a very rainy and wet Riverside, CA (that’s California). The local newspaper describes the history as: The Virgin of Guadalupe is a symbol of religious faith. Accounts tell of indigenous Native American peasant Juan Diego, living in Mexico, and his sighting of the Virgin Mary on Tepeyac Hill on Dec. 9, 1531. He then built an Abbey on that hill to commemorate the event.


I was a bit late and luckily found a parking space on a residential street. Since the TH I chose had the tech package I thought I would quickly do the auto park feature. It took just a few seconds and I was perfectly parked. Wow! This is cool! And one day after a week in the shop!!!!

Glad to hear the TH is once again living up to its WOW factor Bob. I say the same thing about your photography - very impressive, thanks for sharing. What camera/lens combo are you using?

Thanks for the response. The combo for both images is a Nikon D600 w/70-200 F4. That Nikon lens is a real sweet lens if there is enough light.
Here is another view of the massive procession up the mountain:

Well Bob nicely parked, I am thinking of the tech package for mine when I place my order.
However a question comes to mind, does anyone know how tight a space it is possible to auto parallel park in ?

Thanks Bob - a couple of years ago I finally broke down and bought myself a Nikon 300s and a digital Nikor 16-85 which I find awesome. I was slow getting on the digital bandwagon as I did not want to lose the ability of using all my Nikor manual lenses - I have all their macro models, and the 300s allows me to do this. My problem is finding enough time to do everything - honey do lists, fishing, golfing, photography - not enough hours in the day.

The good news is that the Cherokee seems to work for all of these hobbies - LOL.

I've tried perpendicular parking and it appears tighter than a parallel. testing the hypothesis/minimum distance is potentially problematic? I think the car scans for available spots but I don't know the minimum distance.

The TH looks like nothing else on the road today or ever. Looks good.
