Redzed- is that your sti? :D

Thanks guys!!! Yeah I got tired of Ken asking me where my DSLR is... LOL... take THAT. :D Pics look a little better Ken? I didn't even shoot those in RAW mode :ugh2:

As for the leather bra, HAHA... don't worry, you guys aren't the ONLY ones giving me a hard time about that. Essentially, I had blue tape over the clear bra, then the leather bra on top of that. Why? Because I'm utterly ridiculous. LOL. I now think that my clear bra is like my paint, hence I must protect it further.... Aren't I terrible? I know I have issues..... :bowrofl:

No, but it looks just like my ride :rofl2:

That STi is my buddy's... his is a 2011, mods include an Invidia exhaust (same as mine), then a stage 1 accessport. Sounds mean. He plans a stage 2 next.

lol! :icon18: yah, we got so use to your DSLR shots i was like :gtfo2: when i saw your cel pict. :icon17: ;) jk

ive not shot in RAW mode yet. i'll see how the D3100's decoder compares vs photoshop element's processing. at my level i dont think it's going to make much of a difference.... i have other issues (exposure, focus area, metering) to worry about first. :icon14:

Yeah I hear ya... I shot a few of those shots last night in aperture mode, some in shutter mode, some in full auto. I'm not good at it by any means... I just shoot and play, I guess. That's the beauty of digital shots, just keep shooting! And when all else fails, just put it in auto. It gets in right 85-90% of the time.

Had a big moment on my kenchan home from Williamsport.
Hit a wet spot while changing lanes at highway speed and the car gave me a wicked tank-slapper that must have looked something like what we saw at Silverstone two weeks ago. Resolved to order my RE-11's next paycheck.

Upon purchasing a new caliper retaining bolt from my local Nissan dealer, (yeah, I lost one due to my absentminded, distracted reassembly :facepalm:) I realized that my jack will no longer slide past the FI exhaust to reach the rear differential on my now lower car. So it's off to Home Depot to get some 2X10's to drive the car up onto.

Had bath time this morning.

yah, that last shot looks especially tuff cause the sun is on a pretty low angle and you have a lot of cars facing different directions with all sorts of shadows + high exposure on the hood on the farther end of the image...so i'd probably try a manual mode 50-55mm with f/22-25 on a tripod nail 1/4 to the left center of the image, meter mid-exposure and shoot with a 2 sec timer.

mr.onzedge, beach, your comments please! :tup:

I like how everyone has been kenchaning their cars. No kenchaning in my Z for me today... I had to drop the kid off today. Drove the Civic..

Although, Z related story, I gave my 2 year old a blue and red 370z hotwheel I got for him as I dropped him off at daycare today. As he was sitting in the back seat playing, he goes, "This like daddee's car?". I said, "Yes! That IS like daddy's car! It's a Nissan!". (saying "370Z" is probably still too long for him). He looks up, smiles, and proceeds to say, "I like Nissan's cars!"... perfect grammar and everything. Cracked me up. I have him trained well.

:tup: Nice. I wish that I could give your kid a rep point too.

By the way Ken, you are scaring me with your knowledge of f stops and metering and exposures. All this in a span of a couple of weeks of you getting your DSLR? dang... you learn fast! I'm not even that well versed, and I've had my DSLR for 2 years... lol.

haha... thanks man. Oooh, I forgot another story... he was playing with his Z cars, and he knows that of ALL his hotwheels (he has over 80 or so), the 370Z cars are "daddy's". So my wife was playing with him as I was doing dishes, and I hear him say loudly to her "No MAMA!!! That's Daddy's car!!!", as I see him take the car away from his mom.

HAHA.... nothing like a protective son....esp when it comes to cars. :icon18:

Need details on how this ding came about. Front or rear? plus, I hope you are planning to get that fixed?

and yeah no doubt, you are "focused" (pun intended) on figuring out how to shoot great pictures on your DSLR. ;)

btw, for those of you thinking my leather bra is on the whole time, that's just on during a long highway jaunt... although, I am warming up to the idea that the clear bra should suffice...

Cool. My kids started with Hotwheels and graduated to real Z cars. :tup:
