What did you do with your Z today

Red__Zed · 05-02-2011, 07:13 PM

G2z-- please teach me to take pictures like you.

Davey · 05-02-2011, 07:39 PM

I drove it to work... Then I drove it home again.

Oh, I almost forgot... I filled the tank.

Hey Red... it's not that hard. I assume you have a nice DSLR camera? Stick with Nikon or Canon

After that, for the basics, just set it to auto, then shoot!!! The camera usually comes with the editing software (free), then just load that and shoot in RAW mode. Jpeg is fine too, but RAW has more detail and allows more flexibility in some editing situations. Most of the time, shots look fine as is already, but some require just some minor tweaking to edit minor noise, balancing, tones, etc... but for 80-90% of the shots you will take, the DSLR will look 100% better than a point and shoot.

they're actually not that bad in price any more. For a decent point and shoot, you're looking at what, 250? a DSLR can be had for 400 or more?

I actually just got a DSLR. Still haven't gotten any pictures like yours though.

G2Z- thanks for the info on price. Yah that doesn't sound too bad!

when you're with the "right" one, you don't have to ask...apparently. i had no idea she got it for me. i usually have no idea what to get her other than tiffany or LV products...those r usually winners

-have i mentioned i LOVE being married?

Vegitto-kun · 05-03-2011, 06:01 AM

drove her to work.

just noticed the my left mirror wont fold up anymore. it moves and then gets stuck. if I do it manually and I unfold them, then it opens up and when it opens it gets stick on the last bit and then snaps violently to the right place.

also how do you clean the Stillen gen 3 CAI filters.going to clean them when the amuse comes in.

Go to your local autoparts store and pick up a K&N filtercharger kit.
