14N Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 OK so messing about with my point & press camera I found a 'Night' setting. Thought I'd give it a try, I just needed something to photograph. I definitely need some photography tips/lessons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy_Baton Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Do you know Ultimate wraps are using your car as their Facebook profile? They must be proud of it. It seems to be about 60% the cost of doing it down south, or did you get mates rates??? I'll be back in B'ham over Christmas so may look into getting it done. Is there a code word I need to use? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 Yeah, they've been using that pic as their profile pic for a while - quite honoured! Haha. No, didn't get mates rates, but I did promise I'd spread the word on here for them as they do a lot of work for the Honda Civic guys, so no code, but if you could mention me and that you've seen my car (and the tints/wrap) on the forum, I'm sure it would be appreciated.

GMballistic Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Not sure what camera you've got 14N but if you try that night setting on cars that are moving with lights on at night then you should get the cool light trails effect. Does on my old school 35mm SLR camera anyway. Nice pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does on my old school 35mm SLR camera anyway. Nice pics. It's just a Samsung point n' press, nothing special. I did think about the whole light trails thing, will need to give it some more thought, time, place etc. Thanks GM. Niceí ½í± Looking good mate. Orange definitely works with the Gunmetal!

GMballistic Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 If you want to check that "night mode" out and possible light trail effects just find your nearest road at night with moving traffic and take a picture. On my SLR it is basically a long exposure so the shutter stays open for longer. For the best results though you will need a tripod as any movement you make will show up in the picture. I've used it a few times taking pictures of cars 14N which looks very cool but some of the most interesting results I had was from taking pictures of fireworks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14N Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) 14.12.2013 - 97178 Miles OK, I FINALLY got round to fitting my LED reflectors I got from cs2000. Was it easy, hell NO! Nothing to do with Chris's reflectors - they're great, more to do with 97,000 miles and 9 years of cr*p and corrosion building up on each of the bolts I needed to undo to get the bumper off. Combine this with the very limited space, rounded heads, sheared off bolts, rain, blown fuses and Nissan's 'Top Secret' third fuse box tucked away behind the battery, under the windscreen, plus freezing cold fingers and grazed knuckles a simple job turned into a 3 day nightmare. But anyway, after finally completing the install (I extended the wires a bit and added some male/female bullet connectors to make removing the bumper easier in future if needed and also changing the sidelight bulbs for LEDs) I thought I'd go take some night shots in the peeing rain and howling wind. Well, I figured the reflections on the wet ground would be nice.... Had my nightmare finished and was I now able to stand back and admire my new LED reflectors. Yes. Right up until the wind blew over my camera on its tripod and broke it (the camera). The above were the last two photographs my camera ever took But on a positive note, I fitted some carbon bonnet dampers earlier today too Edited December 15, 2013 by 14N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sorry to hear of the sad ending to your camera 14N. Atleast it died doing what it loved ~ taking pictures of the Zed. Bonnet lifters look great btw & so do the led reflectors. Very nice job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 (edited) Thanks very much for the comments and compliments guys That's a bit of a @*!# mate. Don't worry you weren't that good with it anyway Haha This is true New camera added to the christmas list? Replaced it today Jim Took advantage of the pre-Christmas sales Just need to learn to use it now, as highlighted by Wasso Edited December 15, 2013 by 14N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 What camera did you get then 14N? Was it this one as I saw this on offer earlier; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 That's it! That's the one. I figured if it fell off the tripod again, at least there's a chance it would bounce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 ^^ Well at least it will be easy to learn how to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
