Napa Valley Scenic Shoot
So I took some pics of the ride this past weekend. I live in Napa so this place was about 5 minutes from me, literally like my backyard.
I wish I could have spent some more time setting up the car and adjusting my air suspension to drop it a bit lower but whatever, I plan to head back there when I get some time anyways.
Ok onward to pics!
Suggestions for my next shoot? I attempted to do some HDR action but I quickly realized that trying to bracket my exposure in Lightroom takes a lot of time because you have to end up stripping the EXIF data from all your shots and its very time consuming if you do a 5 or 7 shot bracket manually on the computer.
Next time I'll stop being lazy, use a tripod and do some real brackets.
Other than that, any thoughts on what I can do next time?

Im sorry, but that looks terrible. Do you actually think that looks good?
I bet 98% of the people that see you driving down the road make fun of it/think your driving a busted *** Z.

Only the first shot was done at I think 14mm the rest are at 28 I think.
Anyways, the VIP style is not for the faint of heart. I am def running quite a bit of camber on my car.
I am asking for people to constructively critique my pictures not my car

Looks great... Not for the faint of heart for sure... Anway, last you checked - how much rear camber are your running?
I cant see your EXIF... Pic 3 to be more specific...

BTW guys, I have no problems with my car slipping or sliding around. Contrary to what you are probably thinking, the car stays fairly well planted to the ground. Toe settings are back into factory spec too. It takes real engineering to pull that off my friends

Pics are very nice. Could have picked a day with a bit more sunshine though.
Do you drive the car that way or is it on bags? I like the VIP style, but your rear rims look smaller than the front in some pics lol... Maybe a little thicker tire in the rear would make it look a little better.
I love it yet I hate it at the same time. Love to look at it but would NEVER do that to my Z.

Nope, sorry I'm gonna keep hating. The rear wheel looks like a bad photoshop in the last picture! How much do you spend on tires a year I'm guessing 10G +? Nice photog skills but -1 on taste.
