What did you do with your Z today

kenchan · 07-16-2011, 02:14 PM

hummm... the picts look pretty good on my droidx's screen but when i look at them on my pc (including the larger TN display) it looks over exposed. it was pretty cloudy so only used my UV lens.

also saving the pict here on this site compresses it significantly more.... where should i host my picts?

kenchan · 07-16-2011, 02:16 PM

should i have used my ND filter?

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...

any tips would be great, thanks!

Got yelled at this morning by two old ladies who were standing in the street chit-chatting. I got the full-on "slow down!" complete with shaking fist.
I was coasting through my neighbourhood at 20mph.
I'd bet money that my speed might not have seemed so egregious if these ladies had chosen to have their conversation on the sidewalk or their front porch.

ASUS ML239H 23" IPS

That looks like it would be a nice monitor Ken. 1920x1080 resolution w/ a 3000:1 contrast ratio? Yer good to go!

HP 2711x LED 27" Monitor is the one I use at home.

Well I was going to ask if it was your exhaust, but from what I can tell you haven't changed that up so far,right? Haha, you should have turned 'round and blipped 'em with an SRM downshift (or heel and toe for non SRM)!

Hey Ken your gonna need some editing software. Even a real simple program can turn a so-so shot into something pretty damn nice. I posted this a few pages back, it wasnt a great shot at all until I did a quick edit....

I had this happen not to long when a older man was standing in the middle of my lane talking to another. The catch is it was just over the other side of a hill. I wouldn't of saw him if the car in front of me didn't pull out of a driveway and then stop. But he choose to say something to me. I was basically stop. Now I always down shift when passing his house. I know, I'm a a$$.

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?

Today, I got rebuilt SU's and manifold ready for install into the 240. Those shiny things with domed tops are called "carburators" and it how us old folks used to mix gas and air.
