What did you do with your Z today

kenchan · 08-08-2011, 09:37 AM

Did a squat down shot over the weekend.

Ken that looks good... yeah I was squatting down with my Nikon yesterday too... in the work parking lot. People who saw me were probably... WTF is this guy doing... lol.

But yeah, I love your Z's stance.

Thanks Alchemy... I actually got inspired by seeing your shots from the other day.... Here's another HDR... I couldn't resist.

Alchemy · 08-08-2011, 10:35 AM

I really wanna start playin w HDR. How exactally is it done?? What program do you use to process it?? Do you need a HDR specific program or is it just about layering?? I like the third shot a page back G2Z.

FromG2Z · 08-08-2011, 10:43 AM

^ Yeah that one rear quarter shot in the previous page was my fave too. What's funny is that was my first HDR shot ever. I really think it's in the software that does it. I tried about 5 diff't ones. I ended up with EASYHDR versus Photomatix. I didn't like the ghosting effects/repair quality of photomatix. Picturenaut was nice and FREE, but only saved TIFF

Essentially, all you do is take at least 3 shots at -1, 0, and 1 EV... in other words, you need one shot under exposed, one just right, then one over exposed. You can add more than 3, but the software program will blend it all in. VOILA. Technology is amazing.

After that, you can tinker some more and fix stuff here and there, but for the most part, the software does every thing for ya....

No Z action for me today.... she's at home because of rain. I wish I could have driven her today though

Fire · 08-08-2011, 11:23 AM

Nice shot Ken

Had to remove my Z from the for sale area. The finance company messed up on the payoff. I would have to get an additional $10,000 for the car and I haven't had any interest at my original price. Not that it is a bad thing LOL. Just have to wait longer to start my next project.

I ordered my key fob operated smart top today. Real men go topless

Juruki · 08-08-2011, 11:24 AM

plasti dipped my front Nissan burger and got some overspray on my GF's dog

FromG2Z · 08-08-2011, 11:32 AM

Fire - I did not know you are selling your Z. Serious? Why? I thought you loved your car...

Juruki - nice. That gives the hood a nice clean look.

Fire · 08-08-2011, 11:34 AM

LOL Juruki your not supposed to plasti dip the dog while it is still alive. Didn't you read the directions?

Fire · 08-08-2011, 11:36 AM

Yes From I love my car. Was just seeing if the time was right to go on to the next project. I had a bad fiscal start to my year. Never behind on my payments but very stretched. I'm doing good now, I bought a new computer monitor today my old one was fried.

Fire · 08-08-2011, 11:42 AM

This is what happened. I got my tax return and ordered my mods. After they came the hot water tank failed ($1600) the price of my fuel oil bill went to $1000 a month for 2 months. So I had about $5000 going out in about 3 weeks.

As I said I'm doing good now, finally have my savings account above two weeks pay with all bills payed.

Juruki- that looks great!

Fire- huh, yah, i didnt know you were selling your car either. sorry to hear about about the mishap on the home appliance.

good to hear your finances are back and stable.

G2Z- lol at squatting to take the shot.

i like going to these office sites on the weekends cause there only a few people there and no cars in the background to worry about. there's this one lot ive been eyeing but there's this one SUV that seems to be parked there forever.

maybe i should just call a tow truck and have it removed.

Yeah Fire, sorry to hear about the predicaments. But I am happy you are back in order. Would hate to see you part with your Z... first RCZ, then RedZed, now you

Ken, same thing I do!!! I went to the parking lot, found a great spot, FORGOT my SD card, had to go get it, got back there, and someone was parked at the ideal spot

so I had to settle for my next spot.

CrownR426 · 08-08-2011, 02:03 PM

Went to a mitsubishi dealer to get trade quotes.
Gonna let her go real soon guys, going to either a IX or X.

FromG2Z · 08-08-2011, 02:15 PM

^ nooooooo

What's with everyone letting her go? Maybe I am missing something. I should probably start look at what I can get/sell her for. Sssssh.... if I talk too loud, Zena will hear me.

Seriously though, congrats Crown. You can't go wrong with an Evo. Those things are wicked. Esp around a track. Plus a back seat! Although, be careful of the bargain bin interior (my biggest gripe).
