lmao you guys are crazy with your dof calculators. i dont mean it in a condiscending manner.
I just never even thought of us ing onef or how id evewn use it properly. all i do is shoot and change my aperture accordingly. back in the day they had to do way more manual calculations than we do now so i saydrop the calculator and learn dof on the fly :tup:

I'm using one called "DoF Calc" and it has 4 red dots as its icon. :)

In high luminance situations I can see via the view finder but at low lighting I cant see DOF all that well. Also in some low angle shots I have to rely on live view which at least on my camera I don't have a good reference. Thus the calculator to estimate what I'm going to be getting out of the shot, shoot about 5-6 different aperture settings and walla. :D

I'm not sitting there with a ruler or anything btw. Just eyeballing distance.

Yeah, the d3100 is pretty hard to tell on the fly. I just snagged a calc.

here's a quick shot from my mini manfrotto tripod. :D thing works like a champ.

honestly i want my shot even lower... lol so i think im going to need to tilt the camera next time. (never mind the tree reflection in the door... ill need to look out for that next time... im like didn't i learn anything from my RC picture taking...:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: )

I actually mean you need to lower you car-- it's a great low shot, but those low angles make wheel gap more obvious.

they thanks for the pict comment. :tup: as far as lowering my Z..naw, im not going to lower her. she looks great the way she is and on my Z, it's about drivability, not just dressup. nissan did a great job on the suspension for street use imho! :)

my G's already lowered and she's a dressup dd. :p which i need to take pict of her too someday soon...
