Daily Driver Teaser (YES, I BOUGHT A NEW CAR)

its cool man. i think the d40 has only 1 scroll wheel, and you have to access everything else either through the menus or my setting a hot key function.

Oh, that sucks.

ive looked on my D40..but cannot find where the low shutter speed is at? i dont have the manual for it. hm, i need a fish eye now..

I've never used a D40 but I'm gonna assume it's close enough to a D50.

First off, it has to be in Manual mode (M) on the left dial at the top of the camera. Then you should set your ISO sensitivity to 200 or 100, whatever the lowest you can is...Then set your shutter speed by looking through the viewfinder. It will be the number at the bottom of the screen on the far left, it should be set around 60 (1/60s shutter speed). Then, adjust your f stop so that your image isn't really dark, you'll know this when you get as close as you can to the center of your light bar (the gauge at the bottom of the screen with + and - on either side).

Sorry for crapping on your thread Yan.

Both of the cars look great. Don't get too spoiled driving the 1 south :) (of course if there isn't traffic blocking it.

[bimmer8604]

I strongly suggest you do it. You have a place to stay for sure. Ive already told my family about you. Plus maybe I can introduce you to Matt and some of the other E30 homies like Taylor.

It's pretty easy to make an inside camera mount, especially if you base it off the headrests. As for getting your pics to blur like that, just use a low shutter speed. Also, a fish eye helps for capturing everything...

How much do you charge for weddings. I'm serious.

ive done 4 so far and they have ranged from 300-800 depending on how much time and what exactly is involved. Pm me with details and dates and i can give you a better answer, and for sure a r3v discount! ;)
