wow those are some amazing pictures and a beautiful car! i love it :tup:

Thanks!

Wow, thanks. I definitely was going for something subtle, but enough to make you look twice.
whoa! :tiphat:
Thanks, I still have lots to learn though
He is correct
thanks!
Thats what I like about the blue; its very dynamic and looks so different in every lighting situation
thanks!
thanks
:tup:
Ap varied from 5.0 to 13.0 throughout the pics. Its a great lens, I have always liked it for capturing single car photos.
As for the bumper, I have a few rock chips, but not many. I had some light ones on the hood also, but the drcolorchip kit helped with that. I just try to drive a good distance behind larger cars/trucks and avoid any loose gravel.
As for the the lip and sides, do it! You're in another state so I dont mind :icon17:
:tup: on the background
Thanks Ryan. The prosport Z has me thinking twice about the CV2's :)
Dropped on swift springs, currently using 15mm/25mm spacers. Rears are shine auto rear add ons
Wheels indeed! Thinking 20", wide, and step lip is what I want. Just tid bit of poke and stretch, nothing over the top or dramatic. I think it will suit the current setup nicely.
Work T1S, Gnosis GS5, or SSR SP3 if I can afford a used set. I originally wanted white TE's or CE's, but a few have beat me to it :(
thanks!
Thanks, I need more practice though
Thanks
Thanks
Thanks for the tip! I'll try that next night shoot I have, I do like the sinister look in the photos though
Thanks

It was never my plan to get the Z to this point. I'm glad that the few mods I have chosen are seen as a good combination in everyone's eyes. You guys are awesome :hello:

Honestly, I've never been a fan of the stillen lip, but your pics have me pretty tempted by it.

great shots!

Awesome blue, bro! ;)

You take better pictures than me :( haha. These are awesome! I've never seen anyone capture the MB color like you do. Your car is still my favorite 370Z on stock wheels.

Sell me your SSR's for 50% so we can change that lol :D

Thanks folks. Honestly, I wasnt a fan of the stillen lip either until I saw it in person. Its a bit out of place on its own, but compliments the blades perfectly.

This is one of the best photoshoots I've seen since I joined this board. Hands down one of the better looking cars out there too. So simple and clean, but well rounded. Nice man! Your car really influences me.

Stillen lip = win!

Thanks man that means a lot. Love your build also!
Typeone, you helped me pick the stillen also. Great DIY and great pics

Really nice Z man....the rear bumper/exhaust looks amazing!

thanks!

beautiful car :tup:

The easiest way is to just set your metering to spot meter rather than area, and then meter the spot you want with a single focus point. Then if that isn't the spot you want to focus on, just AE lock the exposure with the AE lock button.. and then focus on what you want.

Or, just shoot manual.





Boost Lee, Your car was what helped convince me to get an MB Z. I love the way it looks, simple and clean. Looking at it right away you may not realize its modified [to the untrained eye] until you really start to pay attention. That is the kind of car that I like... because it all flows and looks like it is meant to be there.

Or that....

Like I said. I like using what the camera choses as a starting point and switching over to manual. Spot metering doesn't always get it right, but it does get you close most of the time. I don't like having to go through the AE lock process after every shot. Once you get the settings right in manual mode, you can shoot away knowing every shot is consistent and only concern yourself with composition. I like having a light meter even better for situations like this. It's basically a giant studio with fixed and controlled lighting.
