Ken I think this shot looks pretty good, but I must say...I'm not a photog.... I like the angle of this one and think the exposure looks pretty good.

Thanks, yah that image looks pretty good on my droidx which has a nice high reso display, but looks like a regular point and shoot on my notebook monitor. Its got too much overall haze which I can control better with the circular polarizer I tried today. :p

Took her through a drive through today where the dude at the drive through window said "That's the blue-est 350z I've ever seen in my life." :)

I didn't have the heart to correct him on the oversight. I just graciously accepted the compliment and kenchaned on! :tup:

hahahaha, :shakes head: but :tup: and kenchan'ed on in style. :icon17:


i read and read and read and read several camera forums :eekdance: and i think my tiffen uv filter and circular polarizer is low quality per everyone's comments. so i ordered their recommendation of B+W's today along with a nikon hood (too bad it's no CF! :mad::icon17: ) for outdoor shots.

will compare and if the tiffens are crap, off they go back to the store. :ugh2:

What I did today with my Z was drive it to Sears Point and take the Grand Prix Masters course. Son of a gun, it was fun. It's a Formula 3, with a sequential gear box, 300HP, 1250 pound, uncomfortable, fun as hell car. Follow the instructor and follow the line.

On the way home I found myself seriously exceeding the limit before I noticed anything was askew. Later on a turn I take every day of my life, I went into a four wheel slide, recovered and began to think something was wrong with the car when I realized and told myself "Slow the "F" down you S.O.B.". And I did. I hope I calm down by tomorrow when I drive to work.

That's just awesome!
I would love to get some seat time in an open-wheel car again.

That sounds like a blast. Many years ago, I took the two day Bondurant class when his school was still at Sears Point. I drove one of my z's (my first 71) the two days and drove home each night (I was living in Walnut Creek).

I distinctly remember being exhausted each day and driving like a maniac on my rides home each night.
