    Matte zed?

    up in glasgow this weekend, so i'm expecting to see it.
  4. i'd bracket instead of using 1 underexposed image. as you brighten the 1 underexposed, you will be creating grain in the dark areas. even shooting in raw, rule of thumb is to not go above 2 stops of exposure. Tripod and multiple shots is what i did for jays old photos.
  5. be very wary of matt black, it can look mankey dirty all the time and i know how you love a shiny car! if your staying away from what paul's done, then i'd say make bonnet blade. there is/was (was when i lived there) a porsche around south side that is matt black, not that bit a fan of it.
  6. Burberry? or rainbow coloured? I'd say keep bonnet black but get the bumper black to continue from the grill up and inline with the bonnet. will look like a thick racing stripe continuing over the roof and onto the spoiler. Or get it done in blade?
  7. the iso being 800 will lead to more noise disortion dependant on what camera you are using. I went through a phase of HDR for a while, some may recognise this car, newer folk will only know the current style it has Jesus jay, do you remember those rims Major tip is do not over sharpen, as that is what will emphasise the grain appearing. One thing i will say for it, is enjoy your addiction, then you will get bored of HDR. It can work a lot better when done in a subtle matter. It really is a case of less is more. very little use of hdr So over all advice, lower the ISO, use less sharpening and finally, use less HDR to make the image more natural. Adam
  8. Blade Blade Blade, if you go with black, you need to get the strip of black from bumper continued up onto the bonnet! as you know i'll be honest about your car to you!
  9. a friend of mine advised me to run a ghost account on interactive investor, so i can get my head around it with no worries.
  10. Always been interested in buying stocks, but never sure where to start. Any websites you can advise where to read up to get an understanding of everything? What is the best way to start?
  11. the hotel are right, its not their responsibility. But give the local plod a call, report it as a hit and run due to the fact the person fled from the seen of the accident. They then have the authority to see the cctv and will be able to get the plate and track the person down! use the police, its what you pay your taxes for! but sorry to hear it mate, hopefully will get sorted soon
  12. one of my mates got an asbo for powersliding his ariel atom round a roundabout late at night! it seems a right shambles as i'd ask what training the people who reported it have? are they IAM? are they ex police? if not, i'm not accepting it!
  13. Make it obvious to them, If they break it they buy it! even get them to just sign a bit of paper stating this. I personally wouldn't go to the hassle to arrange fully comp insurance on a car that i'm just going to see and if i like it give a deposit and return to pay rest and pick it up later. As unless its 100+ miles away and if i like it, i'll drive it home that day. I'd only let them out in a car if i was in the passenger seat and they knew the above rule. Also maybe you drive them to an industrial estate, or carpark. Gives them enough space to check they fit with the car. There is no need on a test drive to go hooning down country roads. Read a review of the car and check it can handle country roads, then test drive it to check you and the car feel comfortable together.
  14. Reminds me of think i prefer the lambo, but wow at his gf's patience
  15. i'd say off as TC in most cars usually bogs it down.
  16. jay, you want me to check the dealers down here?
  17. think there was a yellow one in the window at evans halshaw down here, you want me to have a look and see if its for sale?
  18. girlfriends road hasn't been done, so not all roads are done! my old estate is in my parents drive!
  19. saw this last night, thought it was brilliant! Rufus one kept me laughing, katy brands legs made me feel sick!
  20. some advice for shooting the zed, get to know the car as at first glance, you will get lovely angles but if you spend time just walking around it, more angles will appear that are better than the obvious!
  21. a caterham is quicker 0-60 than a lot of supercars but top speed is lacking. i'd class hyper cars as anything daft and capable of over 200mph some things i'd agree with "souped up" as the astra vxr (especially the ring version) is quick as fook same with the clio v6. reliability is also something to consider. I'd say tvr is a supercar over a sports car cause they are seen more in a garage being fixed than on the road.
  22. As from a police officer friend, Undertaking is legal, may be a slight grey area depended on the officer you deal with. Their is no exact law on "undertaking" as above it is just the act of overtaking slower moving traffic. Similar to filtering on the motorbike. Be wary though, as above also stated. If you were to weave in and out of the traffic then you are more likely to be booked for dangerous driving, or driving without due care. It is all in the way you do it! be sensible, and you'll be fine. do it like a tit and be wary of the blue lights.
  23. I've been lurking in the background occasionally checking but not posting much, going to try and start posting more now thought. If you were really wanting to get rid of it, i'd say stick it on strathy cruise as they all seem to have their jaws on the floor when they see it!
  24. i'm surprised jay is only after the wheels, i though he would bite your hand off for the car. Good luck with the sale!
  25. not sure in the boot, but i know you can fit spare wheels in the passenger side of an elise so i'm guessing you could do it that way in a zed as well!
