you kinda have to keep the car from moving in ALL directions... otherwise whe you let off it'd slide off the back.
Exactly. Tied down front and back. I think they have done it a few times to know.

Was a quick run and we forgot to turn off the DSC so the numbers were not correct. Plus the dyno was not calibrated to a rotary. No biggie for me since I did not have to pay for it. (sssh)

...which is why I am also shooting with an old Canon A-1 35mm, just to really learn what photography is all about...
I don't know much about photography, but it seems like the less advanced the camera is, the more photo taking skill the person needs to get "that" picture. Perfect example is Altspace, he takes some of the best pics but iirc, his cam is 5 years old. Now I don't know the specs, but I know a 5 year old cam doesn't have the technology a brand new top of the line dslr sitting on the shelf right now has, but he makes it work, realllll goodddd.
My buddy wants to get into photography, but he wants $1,000 cam to start out with. I try to tell him you don't need top of the line s*** for your first cam, but he believes the camera makes the picture, not the photographer.

true to a point. the more advanced settings mean you have to know how to use them. you get better pics setting things manually because you have more control. I picked up a 20D for my first DSLR, total with 2 lenses I've got $500 into it (yes, I got everything for a pretty good price)... and I guarantee until he's clicked off about 5000 pics, he won't be able to tell the difference between what he gets, and what he'd get using my setup. The pics I posted up in the last couple of days definitely show room for improvment, and honestly, my 20D will likely always be over my head as far as capability. I'm no pro, and don't plan to be. tell him to scale back his spending and look at upgrading later. If it picks up a used setup, he's not going to lose much when it comes time to resell it.
Good equipment is always a plus tho, lol. My bud is a professional photographer (I think altspace is one of many on this site) and he definitely has some expensive s***, lol. He just got hooked up by the Newspaper he works for with a bunch of their "old" stuff they were getting rid of. he got first dibs on it and paid for it with I think 2 "jobs"... I think it worked out to him paying ~$500 for ~$7k of equipment.

he got a lighting setup he wants to sell for a similar margin!? LOL
I didn't mean if you have a 1k camera, you automatically are a pro photographer, i mean for someone who doesn't take pics, you are way in over your head. Like you said, 5000 pics, he hasn't taken more than 50.
It's like someone who wants to get a twin charged supra pushing out 700whp, with all the goodies, but the person has never drove nor worked on a car with more than 100hp. In over your head, start at a reasonable spot and work your way up, not get the main goal from the beginning because its overwhelming.

lol, I don't think he has a good lighting setup. You're talking about exterior lights and drops and s*** right? Not flashes... He was talking the other day about that being his next investment.

a good off-cam flash setup will likely be my next photography purchase.... likely a couple 580's and the starving strobist kit.
