Agree with the morning light, you can get some stunning photos with morning sunshine! Not sure on the small aperture though. I thought that with a high aperture value (f/8.0) ie. closing the shutter, you bring the entire range from foreground to background into focus. By lowering the aperture (f/2.7) it allows you to blur the backgroung and sharpen up the forground, ie. the car.

By pointing at different objects and then depressing the shutter button halfway may not work as the AF (auto focus) and AE (exposure) will now be set for the wrong image. Fine for AE but not for AF. ie. Your focus may be out. If you can change the Light Metering mode on the camera, switch it to 'Evaluative' to divide the image into multiple zones for measuring the light. 'Center Weighted Average' averages the light from the entire frame but gives greater weight the the subject matter at the center of the frame, or where ever your AF frame position is set. 'Spot AE Point' measures the light within the AE point frame. The 'Spot AE Point' should appeear in your view finder or LCD display and looks like [ ] The 'AF Frame' will be a solid rectangle frame. Try changing these settings to get the best image. Depending on your camera, you could move the AE point to a darker or lighter part of the image and keep the AF point in the center. Thus measuring the light in a different place of you choice. But like Yampiedog said, experiment!!!! You can always delete the rubbish pics afterwards! Andrew :D

I fix and maintain Army helicopters. Has its perks but all that good!

Ah, the perks of working in the aircraft trade!!! Awesome tools at my disposal! :nana2:

Hey Rich Back on 1 April, thank goodness! I'll look out for the Diss meet, hope to be able to make it! Phil, going on another Apache coure when I get back as we're getting the beast next year (so they say!)

Bugger! Will have to gimme a shout when you're down next. I've missed loads of good stuff cos I'm out here :cry: Looking forward to seeing the rest of the Ipswich fellas (Needham included!) when I get back! Andrew

My brakes are rather intermittent! On some days they work great, no matter what the condidtions. And other times, I get jack sh1t stopping power. Doesnt matter if its hot, cold, wet or dry! Gonna change the fluid and check for sticking calipers when I get back home. 17 days left in this sh1t hole!! :dance:

Cheers Guys!!! No :duffer: for me this time though :cry:

I went last year, such an awesome meet! Great selection of lovely cars to oggle over. Good place for a picnic too, as that was the only way the misses would let me go, LOL! Cant make it this year as I'l out of the country. Defo see ya next time Jay and Paul! Andrew

All the best mate. Dont wanna jinx anything but I'll most probably see ya out there in September! :rolleyes:

Good luck Bro! My cousin's just been called up too. Iraq for 6 months, poor lad is not happy! His boss wont keep his position open at all. Jacks300zx, got some mates 'hats' who are serving with 2 Para in Iraq at the mo. They are are Army Air Corps lads, know any of them?? I'm off to Afganistan after this Bosnia tour. Mostly mil training. :headvswal :headvswal :headvswal

If you do need to remove them (last resort only!) take off the little stopper and find the rest position of the needle first. The rest position isnt nessesarly on the zero.

Waiting for our helicopters to get back so I can service the damn things then in to the bar for my TWO cans. :(

Cool, Thanks guys!!

Hello everyone Ive been ploughing through the search for info on wheel sizes. Most I could find was info on width. I'm after the profile size I would need to fit 17" wheels. I dont want to change the overall diameter too much. Would the off set remain the same too? Thanks Andrew

Doing well, cheers! Been redders for the last few weeks, starting to get cold though. Missing the Zed!! Got so many ideas for it...... :hyper:

Never even knew you smoked Rich!! Being in the forces, I'm kinda used to people smoking, nearly everyone does it. The only times I grips my poo is when tey blow their smoke directly into my face, when I'm eating or when they've had a fag outside, then walk in and breathe all over you! I think that stinks even more than the smoke! I quite like the smokey smell in some pubs, think it gives the place character. However sometimes it can be over powering. Some Super Duper extractors would work a treat, then everyone will be happy, well, nearly everyone! :D

Thanks guys! Will have a look for that little transmitter thingy! Sorry I didnt reply earlier, not much tinternet out here! :D

Hello! I know you can get head units that are compatible with iPods but can you get them compatible with iRiver MP3 payers??? http://www.pricerunner.co.uk/sound-and-vision/personal-audio/mp3-players/215913/details Dont fancy iPod as it doesnt play WMA's! Want to connect it up oin the car as I'm sick and tired of changing cd! LOL! Thanks :D

Happy Birthday Dude! :hyper: :D :hyper: :D :hyper:

Yes please!!!!

My Ridgeback had the same. I was devistated when I found out. Jack will tell you when he wants to go, mine came to say good bye to everyone, even the cat ( who he used to chase!) He sat by the car in the morning, he wanted to go to the vet for the last time. :cry: Andrew
