I got my rig picture today.

onzedge · 07-16-2011, 10:47 PM

Nice, azn.

McFrostyJ · 07-16-2011, 11:29 PM

Awesome pic!

kenchan · 07-16-2011, 11:43 PM

Azn- lookin' good!

kenchan · 07-16-2011, 11:48 PM

Gotz my camera all charged up. Will try more snaps tomorrow using aperture priority and see where it takes me. I might try the other filters too if its sunny tomorrow.

These compensations and stuff is just like recording audio and playing them on different devices. The flattest most neutral recording wins.

Saahweeet!
I remember those days. Had a BMW 3.0s with twin Webbers that I could never get synched.

Now that I'm considering my Z "done (for now)", I can get back to tinkering on my Miata. This is what's next:

Azn bro, looks great!

Took some vids of the new setup

kenchan · 07-17-2011, 11:30 AM

Nitex-sounds great!

So can you take the silencers off?

kenchan · 07-17-2011, 11:32 AM

Took more trial snaps this am and motored the Z afterwards. Man I luv this car.

Followed by more snaps in higher intensity daylight trials. Will see how I sucked later.

yah, they look like silencers for sure.

sounds great.

so this am i tried the neutral density filter and circular polarizer. for today's lighting the ND made my wheels a shade or two too dark. circular polarizer worked great. also played with the apeture-priority mode. for newbs like me i think it might be best to keep it in auto-mode and learn lighting/exposure first. (been studying the playback data on the nikon software picture by picture seeing wat the differences are).

my next series of trials is to turn the car to properly light it and get a hang of the circular polarizer where to focus the reflection to get overall lush without making the glass reflection look werd.

thanks again mr.onzedge.

Mr. Kenchan, Your Z shot looks nicely exposed.

Thank you, mr.onzedge!

I'm going to make it better and better and then find a good background to park my car for the real shots.
