yah, i didnt know (still dont know
) how to use circular polarizer correctly but when i look at the sky and the windows get saturated and back off just tad, it gives it a nice realistic effect. the first rounds i did before these picts i emphasized the polarization too much and it looked like my windshield fell off somewhere.
hahaha.

After that, it is on to getting my will to live sucked out of me one client interaction and billable hour at a time until it is time to motor the Z back home.
Once home, I will ponder the wonder and joy of working in this industry and what kind of depraved insanity it takes for people to actually want to do this. Then I will wash the 370 and everything will get right with the world again.
Everyone have a great day!

looks like a very long day today for you, mr.onzedge.
hang in there!
hope your therapy with washing the Z comes by soon.
im off today. not my choice, kids got a cold from the heatwave + cold air conditioned class rooms (summer camp) + outdoor pool at camp + germs + t-storms waking them up at night = cold.
at least i get to play in my music room today. (my way of therapy).

Def nice pics. Your Z is sweeeeet. I never liked silver cars, but yours begs to differ.
You know what... I might have to invest in a CPL. Circular Polarizing Filter eh? Where can I get those? Do my local photo specialty stores (that sell the DSLR's and others) sell those? I have to check. And how is this used? Just installed on the end of my VR lens? I have the 18-55 VR lens for my D60.
So on to topic, last night, drove Zena to the lake to meet with a few folks. Then drove her back, then washed her. So nice to enjoy the Z's curves like that. I didn't drive her today, because I didn't get to wax her. Tonight I'll probably glaze her with EZ creme, then Supernatural... or maybe Jesteal first........ hmmmmmmmmmmm. Need to get her ready for a cars and coffee meet tomorrow. |
hey G2Z thanks for the compliments.
im starting to get a tad more comfortable with the camera but this is only just the beginning. yah, thanks for noticing the new avatar with my reflection in the emblem.
i got my circular polarizer from B&H (
B&H Photo Video Digital Cameras, Photography, Camcorders). i got both the TEFFEN and B+W. the B+W is a dust magnet but it does very well. from what i can see there is less distortion on the B+W one vs the TEFFEN one.
i bought some duster/smuge cleaner pens as well from B&H the other day. works great!
wife said it looked like a brush for her makeup.
