Haha, thanks all.

I didn't even think of that. I'll just have to be extra careful, maybe rubber o-ring the topper as extra precaution, hmm.

I just got the oil pressure sensor mounted as seen in my journal. I ran the wiring for the power to the gauges but haven't made the connections yet. I still have to run the wiring to the sensors also. Just a lot of little things. See what I get done tomorrow. Just wish now I didn't have a Dr. appt.

I drove the Z to my parents for dinner. The car runs ok under partial throttle to about 5k rpms...so I get to use maybe 350whp? I can't wait to get the car 100%...it's only been about 4 months :/

FromG2Z · 08-08-2011, 12:44 AM

Well, I layered Zena with a 2nd coat of SN. The paint keeps getting wetter with every layer. I then kenchaned her to work on Sunday for some photos. I QD'd right after, and will add a 3rd layer of SN tomorrow. I also started playing with HDR's... I must say, this is fun. I do need a mini tripod though.

I will upload more pics in the photography thread and the Pearl White thread... The last photo below is the only HDR.

hmm, what did i do with my Z today....took her out for her first nice long cruise on the I-5 from orange county down to san diego...still cant believe a car with this much get up and go can get such good gas mileage. Was getting a solid 30mpg with the cruise set to 65

kenchan · 08-08-2011, 08:37 AM

Did a squat down shot over the weekend.

Alchemy · 08-08-2011, 08:52 AM

Ken that looks good... yeah I was squatting down with my Nikon yesterday too... in the work parking lot. People who saw me were probably... WTF is this guy doing... lol.

But yeah, I love your Z's stance.

Thanks Alchemy... I actually got inspired by seeing your shots from the other day.... Here's another HDR... I couldn't resist.

Alchemy · 08-08-2011, 09:35 AM

I really wanna start playin w HDR. How exactally is it done?? What program do you use to process it?? Do you need a HDR specific program or is it just about layering?? I like the third shot a page back G2Z.

FromG2Z · 08-08-2011, 09:43 AM

^ Yeah that one rear quarter shot in the previous page was my fave too. What's funny is that was my first HDR shot ever. I really think it's in the software that does it. I tried about 5 diff't ones. I ended up with EASYHDR versus Photomatix. I didn't like the ghosting effects/repair quality of photomatix. Picturenaut was nice and FREE, but only saved TIFF

Essentially, all you do is take at least 3 shots at -1, 0, and 1 EV... in other words, you need one shot under exposed, one just right, then one over exposed. You can add more than 3, but the software program will blend it all in. VOILA. Technology is amazing.

After that, you can tinker some more and fix stuff here and there, but for the most part, the software does every thing for ya....

No Z action for me today.... she's at home because of rain. I wish I could have driven her today though
