Well, Bruce, I did ask for some help with Photomatrix via PM but never got a response, so I did what I thought what looked good, and all I have is that Camera from the vid with the exhaust, (Samsung NV3). I use what I have.

1 $960 Shipped
2 D2 32 Way
3 Low enough to where they don't rub on hard turns, ~2.5-3"
4 Yes, Didn't pay, took about an hour

:thmsup:

Story for getting D2's over Megans, I ordered Megans from ebay, and the dealer said he was out of stock for megans for 30 days, but he had d2's in stock, so i got those instead.

um yea you cant do true HDR shots if you dont have a camera that allows you to change the exposure settings which SLR or top end point and shoot cameras like a Canon G10 which is what rich used for that picture.

I understand but it just seems that all you like to do is flame me for every single thing I do. Why not try to make a helpful flame, "I think you need to work on making better HDR pics, or maybe get a better camera like a ...."

If you have nothing positive to say, why say it?

thats what feedback is for its good and bad, only way to get better at something is if you get honest feedback no fluff.

im not the only one with negative feedback in this thread cuz it is what it is but i am responding back to you letting you know what needs to be done. So yea with your camera you cannot do HDR shots so theres no need in making better HDR. If you really want to do HDR shots then pick up a SLR or a high end point and shoot camera that allows exposure settings to be changed.

Thank you for being helpful, and im not talking about just this thread. :yes:

The Camera does do AEB, its just it is doing JPEG Shots, rather than TIFF Shots, b/c its a lower quality camera, TIFF's hold more data, JPEG's do not, hence why you can see it very grainy in the sky on the pics, Yes, I need a better camera, but this is all I got.

This thread was made to show my coilovers, the HDR is just playing around with Photomatrix, I will get better, it just takes me time :thmsup:

And hopefully soon enough, I will get a better camera, and when I have a budget, ill pm you for some suggestions on some good cameras! :)


Edit:

Well theyre $50 more than Megans on their site, $1050/1100 Megan / D2

my biggest concern is parking stoops, how low can u drop it and not hitt the parking stoop? Or do u just be very careful parkin? Hav u hit it b4, and does it show if u do? also, i still want it to look good so i want it as low as i can but not hav to worry about parkin

thankss for answerin the other ones aswell

Sylv
08-31-2009, 12:29 PM
I get really careful when it comes to parking, ill post some pics of me parking next to those curbs and such, give you an idea :)

I usually park at least a foot away from parking stoops or whatever. At night I kinda use my head lights for judging it.

I don't know what SLR or HDR even means but the pics look good to me. Car's just dirty and pictures are a little dark but looks good!:thmsup: I wanna get coilovers but I can't even get that look since my wheels are so huge and have low offsets. Still getting some more info before pulling the trigger on some Tein's. I keep saying to myself HFP will satisfy me but I don't want to regret it.

gotta start somewhere with your photos....no one come out as numba 1 photographer their first day but practice is what you need...as for a camera...you can use a point and shoot. pics wont come out as clear/vivid as a Dslr but will work. then all the work is in photoshop/apature etc....... im sure what bruce was sayin is all in construtive critisim....:D

car is looking good... cant wait to see whats going on next! :thmsup:




hey bruce what camera do you shoot with? do u shoot ur pics raw?

SLR = single lens reflex camera which is the big body cameras with interchangeable lenses

HDR = high dynamic range imaging which means a super high contrast picture normally done with multiple pictures taken at different exposures mashed into one

i shoot with a Canon 40D, and yea i do shoot raw sometimes but it takes up so much space so when i shoot for fun its all jpegs.

Wow thanks bruce. You really put that in layman's terms and I feel infinitely smarter about SLR and HDR since the only thing I knew about it was that it looks better than digital :dunno: Thanks!

I had the Eibach pro-kit before, was a nice drop, then ~19k miles later the front shocks were starting to get really bouncy haha. So i got these.

Rainy Day Pics, kinda hard to see the drop, can see on some :D

Your car looks wayyyy better with the coilovers. You cant even tell it was dropped on the Pro Kit pics.

Agreed, heres 2 pics of me next to a curb

Front could probably make it, but i wouldn't try

Rear would definitely Clear it

i was talking abouth the HFP kit

Indubitably
09-05-2009, 01:00 AM
he had eibachs which is slightly lower than hfp suspension.. so if the eibachs dont hit the stoop, then obviously the hfp kit wont either

Indubitably
09-05-2009, 01:01 AM
btw, are those most recent pictures with your coilovers on? you must be near a low stoop then.. my exhaust will scratch if i parked backwards far enough.. and my front hits stoops too.. and im only on springs

Sylv
09-10-2009, 08:20 AM
Ya, I scratched it on a different place, Im very careful of parking near the curbs now that I had that happen haha


BTW, I gave the HDR another go on one of the pics

Everyone keeps on saying Wheel Spacers, I am thinking about buying them but how will it affect handling (Over steer and Under steer) My assumption is increases under steer though

That's too much sunk-ness for a spacer. You need staggered wheels.

you tracking the car where the minimal difference 25mm is gonna make will really bother you? 25mm sill wont make it flush but it'll be close.
