6spd - Pearl White 370Z

Ricochet48 · 04-26-2010, 12:16 AM

Looks great! I'm also from clubrsx (since 03 damn). I recognize you from there actually. I'm getting a 370z next, but I'm just not sure I need one yet because I'll be going to law school in a few years, but that's a whole other story. I'll be driving to clients for the next year or 2 so I need to be able to handle snow, so I doubt the Z will be up to Chicago weather.

How's do you like the upgrade? I'm just worried about the handling difference of the sport 370 vs. my modified RSX. I want to get a 2 seater while I can and I also feel like some torque. I hate to say it, but I almost feel like I've outgrown the RSX at age 23. I feel that I am just dropping too much money into it and it's not fast lol. I'm adding stage 2 stoptech brakes next as I track it. My mugen SS and 25 rear sway really make a difference!

nice! handling is superior to the rsx in every way except that you can lose it a lot easier in the z!

Your photography is exceptional, your use of Bokeh and lighting works really well with you. Are you using a prime?

thank you very much! honestly... i have no idea what bokeh or prime are! I just point, shoot, and photoshop and the results, well i'd say they are unique.

Regardless, the shots are great you have a great Point and shoot.
Bokeh (the blur depth of field) and your lighting in your last shot is nice unless thats all PS

k20z3 · 05-17-2010, 10:53 PM

oh prime, are prime lenses but it doesn't matter with a point and shoot. you just are good with working with lighting!

6spd · 05-18-2010, 07:04 AM

Oh, I didnt mean I use a point and shoot, I use a D40 (getting a d5000 soon), but thats just how I shoot. I guess I have an eye for good angles so it doesnt take long to get a good shot. the lighting effects are mostly edited and the blur is all the camera's work.

here is a before and after:

Very nice ! Took some serious photos of mine a few weeks ago. How did you manage to lower the reflections?

well, the white doesnt show much o begin with, but the conscious decision i make about reflections involve angle and lighting. some shots show more reflection than other simply due to angle. I do clone out some things though, but not many.
