Tripleskate Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Pfftt, Mazda3's are slow. What coilovers are you using? Get a front sway bar immediately, it's so epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get a front sway bar immediately, it's so epic. yes they can be somewhat slow because they are heavy but they are still a blast to drive. they handle great we have mazdaspeed coilovers made by kw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under intensive cornering, my car has pulled 1.00g of cornering force, and that's on A/S tires! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Cute kid! +1 for owning a quality :thumbup: camera ....even if it's a Nikon Just work on the exposure and White Balance a bit. Shutter is a bit high, but then it was compensating for the ISO setting and lack of Neutral Density Filter which would help with his Aperture setting. Have him pop up the stock flash too. Works great as fill flash in such settings. Using that would negate the -.33 exposure setting and the above mentioned too. Lastly, just have him back up and shoot it at about 80mm. The wide angle he used doesn't do you justice 80-120mm is a good focal length for this shot. It would allow a nice Depth of Field with a higher aperture setting too. Remember, Shutter will control the exposure of the background. Let the camera and flash expose you the subject. Nikon has one of the better metering systems when it comes to flash photography.

Back OT now to continue ot about cameras...it's a nikon d700...i think he only brought 2 lens w/ him since he should've been shooting the car race and not me. this wasn't supposed to be a glamor shot of me he usually fixes white balance, etc in capture nx, but i just stole that photo off his computer before he messed with it i have no idea what his aperture, etc was set at, either....

I'm trying to plan something for everyone to attend, but it keeps getting pushed back. Someday I'll get things organized. I know a couple of those guys who were at Mid-Ohio.

Rob1647545496 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 we like road racing you got my vote lets just hope you arn't scared of it like everyone else. we also need to get some racing seats because the regular 3's seats suck and when you corner, you are slid out of your seat.....not good when racing! you probobly will need something with side bolsters but in the meantime scoot you seat back a little from where you want it pull the seatbelt all the way out release it then scoot your seat up the seatbelt will lock holding you in the seat.
