I've got a D60, how do you get the blurred background and the sharp clear pic of the car?

 

That's referred to by camera dorks as a shallow "depth of field". It is directly related to how open you have set your aperture. The more open (lower "f-stop" number) your set at, the shallower it is. You will then compensate for proper exposure with speeding up your shutter speed and lowering you ISO sensitivity (considering a normal level of light is available).

Take a lens like a 50mm f1.8 (which all Nikon owners should have imo) and set it to full open on a pic like that and you'd probably only have about two feet of the hood in focus, a shutter speed of 500+ and the ISO as low as it will go.

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks, I'll have to re-read that tomorrow when my head is clear. I can't understand it right now, lol. Hell, my dumb **** probably won't be able to understand it tomorrow, lol.

 

Thanks Man.

Thanks. That is the Roush splitter. I also have the side splitter and the rear.

Thanks, Its a pain to keep clear, But looks killer when it is.

Thanks. The tint looks great with the black color.

 

Stunning......what a shine

 

Wow. You stole the words right from my mouth. I don't have to type as much. Lol. Thank you for doing that.

In other words, if you want that blurred background, all you have to so is use a lens with a lower F stop. They make 50 mm 1.4s and 1.2s, but the price goes up significantly. I compromised with the 1.8. The 50mm is my FAVORITE lens.

Lower f stops allow more light through, making it more worthy of taking shots with lower light (like dawn or dusk) with NO flash :thumbsup:

Btw, those shots were taken in full manual mode.... F stop 1.8, 1/3200 or so shutter speed, ISO 100.



Rack, how is the install of this antenna?

Thanks bro. You made me jelly with all your European shine pics lol

 

Update... I ordered that stubby antenna. Been meaning to get one for a couple years now, but never got around to. Thanks for the info Rack.

iPhone ordered!!!! Love new technology and mobility.

Installation of this antenna is easy?

 

Unscrew old antenna, screw-on the new antenna ?

Should it be easier?

 

Lol.... I was hoping there was no special tool to remove etc

But yes you're right prolly super simple lol. What was I thinking with that question. cut me some slack it was 630 am and I just woke up hahahahaha

 

Lol, I've been up since 5AM after not going to bed till 11 last night, waiting for the ex-gf and her daughter to get home after having dinner with the guy she was seeing before me which she's now started talking with again, 3 days after we broke up.
And why are we still living together?
Because my condo is getting put back together, I'm remodeling it myself. Can't move back in until late April probably

 

Holy details batman

 

Lol, yeah, I'm a little bitter about things ... I've done so much for this chick and her daughter and lately she turned into the biggest ***** I've ever met ...

 

Sorry to hear that man

 

No bueno.

 

I didn't know our cars had daughters and see other people and stuff

 

Yeah, sorry I went off-topic ...

Here's my latest pics, showing off the newly-installed tint:

 

No not that. Just didn't know there's women that matter beyond the ones in our garage. Pullin your leg. Your car looks great and hope everything works out!

 

I've never been a fan of white cars. Your car is one of my favorite mustangs. I love everything about it. Superb job!

 

Got another to share

 

Gorgeous. Camera and shot details please.
