Your Pride & Joy... Currents pics with list of Mods

[Hoover]

Those are some nice shots, seem like HDR in some of them.

What kind of camera/setting are you using. Those pics are fantastic.

The last two pics are HDR. The other ones were f/1.8 / ~1/100 sec and then I went to Adobe Lightroom to edit the contrast and fill light. Hope this answers your question.

For those maybe not familiar with the terms, f1.8 is the aperture of the lens (the lower the number the shorter depth of field you will obtain enabling you to isolate the subject from the blurred background, the higher the number, the bigger the focus area will be), in streetf8tr's case my guess would be a 50mm, f1.8 lens. So if you have a Rebel with a 18-55mm kit don't expect to be able to obtain this kind of short depth of field, unless shooting really up close macro or that your really close to the subject and background is very far. If you do have a Rebel the Canon 50mm f1.8 and even the f1.4 are great bang for the buck. Nikon have a cheap 50mm lens too thats equivalent.

Depth of field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Another lens I like is the Canon 85mm 1.8 it's down side is purple fringing, when shooting under f2.5 in contrasty images, but otherwise another affordable lens that is super sharp and allows nice short depth of field (this was shot @f2.5).

i am more of a point and shoot kinda guy when it comes to cameras. the cheaper the better because there is good chance i will drop it or leave it somewhere.

Love my iPhone 4S for that too, for when I don't want to carry the complete artillery

Speedo007 said it better than any attempts i can try to make. I used a Nikon dslr with a 35mm lens. But like he said, any fixed focal lens will get you the blur effect easily when shot at f/1.8 - f/3.5

Still trying to choose what mirrors I want hmmmmm...

 

[mano1192]

Sure is a Luimoto, great quality you will be very happy with it. Installation is a pain in the a55. Another memeber gave me a good tip, let it heat up in the sun first it makes stretching it into place much easier.

Hey mano, is the seatcover from luimoto? They look very nice. I am planning to buy one for my white fz8, in white, black, gold. Is it easy to fit? I have to do it my self because there is no dealer here in belgium.

Can u give more details about those slips from yoshimura? Did u have to remap? Is it loud, loudish or a bit above stock? I think this will be my next mod and its a toss up between these and the akroprovic. But I really like these. Also, do you get extra heat next to your foot - I don't see any heat shields.
