   For all those people asking about our beast, below are some pics of the new light bar imported all the way from Honda in the US.

   Nice looking accessory Joe, the chrome looks deep and high quality, you would expect nothing less from Honda. The switch does not look tacked-on either and the chrome on the bracket is so good I can see your reflection taking the photo!
   We are still waiting for a shot of both you and Lynette on it!

   Wow what clear photos Joe, what sort of camera do you have, looks like a wizz bang professional job?
   
   I can't believe how clear and detailed those photos are and yes James, I can see him in the reflection.

   Anna, I have a Canon IXUS 5 Mega Pixel point-and-shoot compact camera. I wouldn't call it "wizz bang" although at the time it was a fairly good unit.
   
   The trick is to take such shots at a high resolution then manipulate them with Photoshop. I adjusted the brightness and contrast as well as the levels and sharpness. This is to bring out the mid-tones and even up the lighting. A professional would light the subject before taking the photo but we hacks do it later.
   
   Of course the subject matter helps, it has a lot of contrasting light and shade, dark bits and bright shiny bits which makes it ideal for close-up treatment.
   
   Thanks for the comment Anna.
