What did you do with your Z today

LunaZ · 07-23-2011, 05:27 PM

Figured out what's rattling on the driver's side rear of my car.
As I said before, I was real OCD about making sure the spring was oriented correctly, so it wasn't that. I'm embarrassed to say it's the brake caliper making the noises. I forgot to finish torquing it down. I blame my friend who came over to help (drink my beer). Everything I did before he got there is perfect LOL.

I was going to wash my car and apply another coat of blackfire wet diamond to it, but it's just TOOOOOO damn hot out for that! 103 today.

BeachZTT · 07-23-2011, 09:17 PM

Econ- you car is sick bro!

Ken- probably will let the shop install them just because it's so flippin hot!

LunaZ- good catch! You know better than to start drinkin before the jack is down.

Spohn- Looks like a blast!

I still need to cash in the Caliper coating gift certificat my wife won at ZDayZ.

Mr Kenchan,

Yep -- shoot aperature priority on a small (high number) f-stop for maximum depth of field. I spend the afternoon lens shopping. I am decidin between a Sigma 120-400 and Canon 100-400.

I am trying to take my time, perform due-diligence and not make an impulse buy which I almost did. I came home and my wife was smiling at me. I asked what is up and she said "where is the lens?" She was shocked I came home empty handed.

mr.onzedge- thank you for the tip on the f-stop. LOL at mrs.onzedge shocked at you coming home empty handed.

i have a wishlist saved in my computer...it's just a matter of clicking a few buttons to get that macbook and other goodies...

i am

but then

yet again if im going to have the time to REALLY get into this hobby.

hahaha.

this is a full auto mode with CLP... i wanted to see what the camera would decide on its own. the rear quarter is over exposed but came out better than i thought it would in the hot sun today (around 3pm)... btw, never mind the composition yet, i am trying to get the exposure and colors correct along with not shaking the camera, focus, metering, etc. etc. etc.

kenchan · 07-23-2011, 10:17 PM

luv her pretty butt?

kenchan · 07-23-2011, 10:45 PM

btw...the other 2 shots were apeture priority mode. i tried several manual shots and they came out okay. i need to play with the EV a tad more...
