I want to get a "newer" luxury sedan 09-12, but Mrs.LMB wants us to get a "newer" SUV as our next "newer" vehicle purchase. But I know she will be driving it the majority of the time:ugh2:

I guess the good side is now my DD will be her lancer and I can stop driving beater cars that are 15-20 years old :icon14: Maybe in another year or two I can see if we can get the sedan cause there are some nice ones out there :tup:

:hello: Hi Jason, how's the night shift treating you?

Are you on permanent night shift or do you guys rotate? I know here at Toyota the to 2 weeks days/aft rotation no night though....

I want to get in as maintenance electrician at Toyota in a few years once I qualify, just not sure I want to go on rotation :ugh2:

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!

:tup: you may have found a new career here...teacher of entry level DLSR:tup:

Guess what boys and girls?!

BC Friday has arrived!!

Train for Indy leaves in T-minus 9 hours. :tup:

I like midnights. It's a steady shift, I have a decent routine, also get good sleep (nothing like having a bed to yourself) :p

On Friday morning I sleep for 4 hours then live like a regular person, eat/sleep at normal hours. Then Sunday afternoon I'll lay down while Mini GaleForce is napping (I'll get ~4hours, he gets 1.5-2). To to work Sunday evening, and my routine starts all over again.

The last time I did. Midnight shift was 4 years ago when Mrs.Force was pregnant. That way I was able to go to all the Doctor appointments with her. It worked out really well.

Good luck with Toyota. I have a bunch of friends and family that work there, Cambridge and Woodstock.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE having the bed to myself! sigh.

and hubby and I worked different shifts when our mini was a baby so she only had a sitter for the transitiion between our shifts, until she got old enough to go to the local college (they have a great preschool/daycare)...the kids participate in the early childhodd education curriculum with the college students...mini was well liked because she was outgoing. :tup:

You don't know how happy (and probably horny :icon17:) it would make me if my wife would do this to Z and put some 11s down on the asphalt. She doesn't like to drive the car hard, and I don't feel right pushing her if she's not comfortable :(
