Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today

^ That's the thing about this thread that I love so much.... it's essentially a thread for us Z lovers to just chat about anything, anything related to our Z's, no matter what it is. And I love this thread for that matter... :D

Also, it's funny that the OP no longer chimes in. Maybe he's not even a member anymore... lol.

OMG, someone strayed of the topic of the thread title... that never happens.

Very common for car guys to want to take nice shots of their cars to share with other car guys.

Yeah I have the same brush too... I use it to clean the lens. Works wonders. Remember for smudges, inside out, in circular motions.

As for the CPL, once it's on there, it's on there, right? or do you have to turn it on before use???

hahaha. :icon17: you should check out my profile pict. :D

yah, circular motion to clean the lens from inside out, got it. :tup:

CPL i only use it when it's real sunny outside. B+W one comes in a plastic lens case so i place it in there when not in use. you may need to up the EV by +0.3 to get better results as there is significant filtering just by putting it on.

great for sunny days, can be too dark on cloudy days.

if you want to make it easier to function in manual mode make sure to set your custom shortcuts

at first i was going through all the menus just to change iso etc.
but after setting custom shortcuts it made it a lot easier/faster

Sorry, for the slow response. Thanks for the heads up on the shortcuts. I read on DPreview that they did the same thing and said to do it first thing :tup:

I do want to try a CPL also. Ive become accustomed to over exposed, to bright shots i think.

I'm an avid photographer..But I'm going to hold myself back from straying from the thread!

Today I stared at my stock Z and pondered the exhaust I want to put on it....

Oh the agony!

You are to be commended for your restraint, Nick. :tup:

I am in need of making a desicion about my exhaust too. Probably that last mod for me for a while on the Roadster. Need to switch projects and get a few things done on the TT...

I think I'm going to end up with the Invidia Gemini(I've contemplated berk) and some HFC's. Now we gotta see how long it takes me to actually order them as I'm saving for a house

Are you talking about an Audi TT or that 300ZX in your sig?

I dream of getting a 300ZX TT and modding the **** out of it
