Finally had the time to give the Z a wash and wax.

Gave her a wash and QD this afternoon for the first time in a month! I know, I know....I'm so embarrassed and ashamed.

Ok cool! Thanks. I think I'm going to get one to use just for my camera purposes. Does my pictures appear over exposes on your screen? :confused:

No, but they don't appear very crisp..which is what G2Z and Alchemy are able to produce with editing software.

I must say though....

YOUR RIDE IS LOOKING TRES HAWT!!:tup::happydance:

Unless you are going for that type of look, you shouldn't need to rely on editing software to produce quality images. It can enhance, yes but it doesn't make the photo 99% of the time.

i think i should have also used my tripod...(?) was looking like it was going to rain so kinda make a quick snap session. since it wasn't too dark i didnt think i would need my tripod using automode... :confused:

any tips would be great, thanks! :D

You definitely would not have needed a tripod, there was plenty of light and the shutter speeds were fast enough to avoid camera shake. When you take a picture, exhale right has you press the shutter button. It is the same principle as the breathing technique shooters use to gain accuracy.

Also, over cast days make it much harder to correctly expose all areas of the photo and subject so there is not as much you can do there. Try shooting in aperature priority mode and play around. Just keep shooting and try to crouch down and shoot the car from a lower viewing angle. You will get the hang of it!

Went to Cars & Coffee and then to a Z/G cruise and lunch.

Yah, I definitely need to experiment more for sure! Thanks for letting me know how the images appeared on your screen. With the lost resolution it appears quite a bit fuzzy vs the originals I have. I need to make the size smaller without loosing resolution before uploading at the370z...

Thanks on the car. :p

Uh oh... :icon17: better late than never....

I perfomed a quick wash on the 370. I admire how well it turns out, especially with a few coats of Meguiars Ultimate to make the washing easier. So, I had to play with some wide angle shots.
