What did you do with your Z today

onzedge · 07-23-2011, 10:46 PM

Mr Kenchan,

Besides some point and shoot digitals I have had, the 7D is my first "real" digital. It makes me feel lame most of the time and I feel like I am learning photography all over again. When I shoot in any of the "auto" modes I can feel the camera mocking me.

Anyway, your photos and car are looking good. I think when I am done getting all the photo stuff I want, I will prbably have as many dollars into it as the 370Z mods.

hahahaha. that must feel werd...

thank you for the beginner's encouragement.

im going to need minimum 10K shots to get to the level i would be happy with, i think. and then finally learn that i still suck composition wise and need much more practice how to apply artistry into this new hobby of mine... that's where im kinda concerned... i dont feel like being a used car sales photographer forever, you know. hahaha.

Another set of storms coming through so no motoring this am. I might get a break in the pm, but I have the kids today so the best I can do is the G... ill probably end up taking snaps of my poorman's garage today...

Sweet picture KenChan. I am going to crop it and add it to the z slide show on the computer.

I installed the Nismo rims and decals from Mike on friday. Installed three more rows of peg board in the garage to hold all the stuff that i pulled out of the cabinets. Those are now spaces for all the microfibers and wash supplies.
Bought a set of SPC rear camber arms, which will probably be saved for the winter mods.
Started working on the camper on saturday morning after the kids were bugging me about going camping by the river. Almost 8 hours later, we were on the road. Campers are just like boats, a time-vampire and wallet burner. I had the air conditioner completely out, microwave had to come out because of a bad end and the the refrigerator needed work.
The z is a garage queen today while i relax. Hope you all have a safe weekend.

kenchan · 07-24-2011, 12:22 PM

^ GoPro is awesome except it absolutly sucks in low light conditions. It shoots great footage otherwise. My friends and I have some great footage snowboarding up in Vermont and all around using the GoPro. Funny you posted a pic of it, Im bout to slap mine on and take a run down the PA side of the Delaware River.

Yup, you really need some video editing software to make the video quality look great. All that is needed is to increase saturation, sharpness, contrast, and decrease brightness a bit and it looks a lot better.

Nitex -- nice looking gear.

Thanks : ) this thing is funny.. the body is so tiny but its a standard sized SLR lens. The build is fantastic.. so solid feeling as its all metal. Including the lens body.

Its not quite DSLR speed, although close when put in continuous. But overall the picture and video quality are suposed to be top notch. I may spring for the 200mm zoom lens but i hear its $800+

I am excited to try 1080p video and 3D of all things. But i hear something about only being able to watch it on a "sony" 3d tv, but im not sure about that.

Hahah nice man! yeah i want to get some ride footage on my R1.. Setting up a race vs a 650-700hp Audi S4

I broke my leg this year bad.. full break of tib fib and ankle. So im not sure when i can get back on my board. 20+ years on the mountain its a tough break thinking how long it may take to be able to ride well again. But it will be back!

onzedge · 07-24-2011, 07:04 PM

Finally got the new SU's installed and she is running like a bat out of hell (as they say).

Here is the "before" shot:

My two sons (thanks, guys) and the "after" shot:

I may have made a mistake -- I let one of them borrow it for the night:

The 'During" shot:
