Playing around with my new Nikon :D

D70 ftw? Shot in front of our house, not the best place but i'm too lazy to drive anywhere and this weekend wore me out! Still getting used to the camera, but i'm slowly getting the hang of it...I really want to do rolling shots now!

^^ No chance, the amber pieces in the reflector are painted from the top and the bottom and the reflector underneath them is also painted black.

I've loved the stance of your TL ever since you first mounted those lexions back in the day.

That bitch looks uber glossy in the second pic, and it looks like the fender is widened due to the reflection. SICK!

It does look like I have a widebody in that picture

Still debating if I want to run spacers in the rear...got a set of H&R 10mm sitting in the garage, but they don't fit over the hub unless I really force it in...its like 1mm off, donno if they do that on purpose or what.

Keep hearing horror stories about spacers so I may just leave it as is...

Kind of random, but can anyone tell me the optimal settings on the D70 (or others) to do rolling shots at night? Also, how the hell do you keep the camera still in the car....every little bump fucks up the picture and it comes out blurry

Rolling shots as exterior rig shots? Or do you want to take photos from inside the cabin looking out?

For exterior shots, you'll have to build your own rig or buy a premade one.

For interior shots, best way is to go to a home improvement shop and buy a 1/4" thick stick of aluminum, custom drill holes for the headrest and also a hole to mount the camera. Then you can mount it on your passenger seat and hook it up to a remote shutter.

The settings would then be adjusted depending on the type of shots you're looking for.

Pictures look great. Car looks nice and shiny still.

That basketball hoop looks like it could fall on your car man.

I'll probably be in my friends car while someone else drives my car and try to get some good shots, however its almost impossible to keep the camera still enough to focus...I guess I need to find someone with a Buick or Lexus

I'm honestly surprised that thing is still holding on, its up there for almost 25 years I can still hang on it...
