What do you mean when you say "meter?" Is that something youu do by eye or with the camera?

Mike the metering explanation does make sense, but to fully comprehend I will have to take 3 shots of the same picture in each mode so I can visualize the difference. But based on the color of the car or item that your trying to photograph it changes the way the camera focuses the light right?

And thanks for the kudos on the pics. The car was real bad ass in person. Not a chevy guy but that car is well put together. The wheel and brake system is what really caught my eye. The owner was a younger guy in his mid-late 20's. Apparently he had a twin turbo 350z previously and sold it to get the Z'oh. Forget his name now though since this was a week ago

I wish. My car was still in the shop so I was rollin my lil sisters chevy mailbu. "The bu thang."

Given my power levels it would have been a good run. I think those make 500-550 at the crank and I probably make 500 or so. Then again aerodynamics are not on my side

i'd hate to say T but that Z06 wouldve been your first loss. not only aero dynamically better but alot lighter. tcarbon fiber fenders, they make around 480 rwhp. thats if it was stock with stock exhaust.

Terrance, the pics look great IMO, & are much improved over your Berryessa pics. The only thing that throws them off is that there is too much clutter from the trees, poles & such looking like they are growing out of the car. Of course this was most likely unavoidable given the location, but its always something to keep in mind when shooting cars.


BTW, I know the Cobra seems pretty fast, & actually it probably is, but you would not stand a chance against even a stock C6 Z06, unless the driver couldn't drive worth a damn. Those cars are beasts right off the showroom floor. I remember when Streakmatt & myself were riding in his fox, & he got to run a basically stock 1 on the street. Although he did win each & every time against the Z, the car was right on his heels every run. Keep in mind that Matt's fox was already in the low 10's at this point & was trapping in the mid to high 130's...

I was going to edit a lot out of his pics, but didnt have the time. I just cleaned them up a bit. Ill send im some pics with some photoshoppin done once i get more time

Making the moderators cyber-sit me is probably a good way of getting my account locked for a while. I know they're busy folks volunteering their time to help others out.It's selfish of me and others who make their task more time consuming and difficult than it already is. In fact I should either chip in and help out or not participate at all. I'm going to do my best to be part of the solution and not the problem from now on.
