Changing main bearings with the motor in the car is a bitch! Got mains 2,3,4 swapped and had to take a break from mains and swapped rod #1 bearings before it got dark. Rod bearings are easy pz that look like 5 minutes to swap and plastigauge. Rod #1 is complete and within spec. Going to do Rod #2,#3,#4 next time I work on it and plastigauge them and be done with rods. Than i'm going to swap main 1,5 and than plastigauge all 5 mains at once. It's getting there. Lol

It's neat they are integrating the living room stuff but it's a gaming machine. I don't really mind needing 2 remotes and switching between tv inputs. The price tag is going to be crazy

Read. The internet is a manual.

Dummy's guide:
Aperture- how wide open the lens is which allows light in.
Shutter speed- how quickly the camera shuts the blinds on the light coming in. Slow shutter (longer durations) = more light.
At a fixed aperture, you will increase or decrease exposure using shutter speed. You can also keep the speed the same and adjust the aperture instead. If you have a really high speed set but a very small amount of light entering, you may be underexposed. Either slow it down or open it up. Key word here is exposure. How do you achieve it?

Iso helps boost low light, especially where you might not want to use flash or cant, assisting or allowing the use of higher speeds where a flash is normally needed.

I've read the damn owners manual about 5 times so far, haha.

I've gotten a very basic understanding of those except for white balance (I think it's called). It's just fine tuning the knowledge of when and where to use what and what combinations to achieve expected/wanted results. Lots of trial and error, lol.

The other asshole
Shoot in raw, Do that and something called viewNX 2 should be included with your camera, I use photoshop but I tried out the included software first, It will allow you to adjust multiple settings including white balance to help you understand what's what.

Yes and trial and error is the best hands on experience youre gonna get. Thats how i first improved and learned how the settings work in conjuction on a point and shoot even. It takes a lot more reading and then trying. I see professionals asking questions on forums still. There is no one way to take photos and thats why photography is so artistic and creative. Think about what youre trying to capture and then ask yourself how you think you should do it and try a few variations. Comparing them afterwards is how i get closer to making easier decisions. Actually one of the least fun things about the whole thing for me is the tedious trial and error.

And youre still behind, me at least. About 10 times on that manual. lol I still look back to it for review and reminder. I keep it in my camera bag.


Oh yeah im also barely getting into white balance now. I put it off worrying more about the other settings but i watched a video on youtube regarding white balance and it helped a fuckin bunch. Also for any tips you want for specific settings, composition etc.. youtube has lots of stuff.
