Anyway, a Ford dealer with NO Mustangs on the lot???!!! Thats just insane, but true. Went to the dealer figuring "Ah, easy" Nope, not a single Mustang on the Lot. I failed.

 

Thats insane. The local Ford dealer is like 90% mustangs.

 

I think the thread died

 

nah... i am having a helluva time finding a white stang

 

I didn't even bother looking today. Had too much b.s. going on. Perhaps tomorrow if the challenge hasn't been met yet.

 

I have an old pic with my buddy's white 04 Cobra but obviously we can't use old pics. Maybe I'll try to find one tonight.

This challenge reminds me of this video because of the end.

 

I've got this one. My coworker drives a white 95 cobra

 

VTEEEK! Funny vid Waxima

 

I drove by the local Ford dealer before work and they didn't have any white ones either. I came in to work, pulled into the parking lot and lo and behold:

Eleven post's up.

 

new challenge: your maxima in the reflection of a tanker truck

was issued Feb 7 @ 1:25 PM.

 

I drove all around this morning trying to find one at all the oil companies and came up empty. Get home, park the car, have a smoke and 3 go by my house. Wtf!

 

Fail here too. I found that i do not know my DSLR as well as i thought. I was on the interstate heading to an 'ole reliable's house close to sunset yesterday. The auto/no flash setting would not get the shot so i switched over to a manual mode, turned up the ISO to 500, lowered the F-stop, and increased the shudder speed . But i could not for the life of me find the setting's to decrease the exposure length and drive at the same time. The picture would have had a little bit of grain in it but i can clean it up. Time for me to read the manual again.

 

 

In short. This is extremely basic but can be helpful
ISO level= low ISO (100) means darker exposure, high ISO (1600) means brighter exposure.
Low F/stop= let more light in
High f/stop= let less light in
and its shutter not shudder. An effective shutter speed to capture a moving object, while panning, the second number "60" in 1/60 should be around the same as the objects speed; IE if the object you are shooting is doing 75mph....try using a shutter speed of 1/75 or something in that area

 

if it was a TRUCK it would work, since it does a tank.

Next stop, find shiny truck, park beside of it, take picture, profit?

 

I really do not use the D90 much outside of auto mode. I still rely on the exposure meter in the view finder to dial in the fstop and shutter speed when in manual mode. Unless i come across a shiny tanker truck sitting somewhere parked then I'm going to stick to the auto/no flash mode. Too much distraction from driving looking through a view finder while playing with dials trying to get the right exposure and maintain the exact same speed of the truck. Good advice though.

 

Im pretty sure 99% of people with a DSLR that shoot in M use the exposure meter in the view finder.

I dont know why you wouldnt

 

I have a cousin in the photography field. He would brag that he rarely used it on non work photo's. I started asking him what i should set the fstop to and what not for random pictures indoors and out. He would tell me and it would be fairly close. It is just something that you get the feel for after doing it for so many years i guess.

 

Best I can do:



Next Challenge: Your Maxima with a cat in it.

 

Your maxima with something angry birds other than the game (no phones, computers, etc). I want to see a physical item like a blanket, mug, chew toy, etc

 

YOUR MAXIMA next to another Nissan with COLORED rims ((any color other than black would be nice))

 

Damn that was quick. Ive been so bogged down in mods with my car I barely have time to come on the .org and play the picture game anymore and def not that quick

 

Yeah, that's what she said
