Zoom in (on the screen) after a shot or two to make sure you're getting the sharpness you're expecting.

kenchan 05-22-2013 10:56 PM

ordered up a few more tools and tool bits. :yum: but since i did, i decided not to get that milwaukee right angle cordless this time (me to me for f-day). already spent enough mula this week for tools and tires. :D

i think you're the only one that can hold a camera steady for like 30sec without a tripod. :icon17:

kenchan 05-22-2013 11:01 PM

tonight i also removed the cable lock on my garage door (physical lock that latches to the rail for those that dont have a garage door hooked up when brand new) as my taffyapple bin is too close to the garage rail and one time got caught on the lock lever. the frikken bin lifted off the ground. :eekdance: wtf...

moved around a few things in the garage to squeeze a little more room for my cars. :tup:

kenchan 05-22-2013 11:02 PM

night guys. im going to hit the sack early today. :)

If I wasn't alone I would have tried a bit harder. Had to do a quick and dirty job tonight. Also, I need more megapixels.

Yeah right?!?! :rofl2:
Without caffeine and good bracing I can do about half a second and still get a sharp picture.

You don't need more MP! That doesn't cure quick and dirty without a tripod.
That almost sounds scandalous!

MP is not the biggest role in here....

prolly a tripod, aperture and the lights setting is more important....

These were in auto mode. Had to edit the brightness down to get rid of some of the digital noise. Eh. It is what it is. :tup:

Actually, it's not what it is. You have total control here... that's why you bought a DSLR intstead of a point-and-shoot.

Step One: Get out of Auto.
Set a lower, less noisy ISO than what Auto is going to choose for you. 100 is of course, ideal.
Aperture can be tricky with large objects like cars. Do you want the whole car to be in focus and sharp? Try a 5.6 or narrower.
Use the light meter at the bottom of the viewfinder to determine your shutter speed. Move the shutter speed faster of slower until the pointer sits in the center. With white cars, it can be tricky. Try to meter on something that's somewhere between the brightest white part of the car and the darkest black to get a good compromise. Then you can adjust exposure, shadows, highlights and contrast in post. Lightroom has a noise reduction slider that doesn't effect brightness.

In a pinch, any stable object can become a tripod. I've taken off my shoes and used them to cradle the camera for a low shot. Think like MacGuyver!

Footloose301 05-22-2013 11:41 PM

Well the only thing I did with my Z was remove my 9mm from it and carried it with me to the movies to see The Hangover 3! I don't want any surprise Batman premieres. The movie was better than the last one. :tup:

Now Friday night I've got my D-Box tickets for FF6!

If all she has is her hands... it's not really possible for low ISO even with f/5.6...

For the white color, she may adjust the white balance manually, if the camera can set the WB using the value of color-temperature (k).
