Napa Valley Scenic Shoot (350Z)

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?

ride height looks damn near perfect to me!

DAMN SON NAPPA VALLEY!!!!
 
What to do next.......
sell the car and buy a VIPplatform! :biggthumpup:  At least I would!

Good god!! Your car looks beautiful.... :::drool:::  I wish I could fit air on my car...
Is it just me or is the front  a bit higher than the back when dumped?  Any plans to 
level it out?

do some city shots... for some reason the z looks out of place in the rural areas.

When it's done right, I don't think it needs to be upped to the next level.

Nice flicks...needs exhaust tho :biggthumpup:

I agree, The Zs angular lines dont lend itself too well to the wild nature of the outdoors.

now that ive gotten the artsy fartsy stuff out of the way, the ride is immaculate.  lovin that fitment too! :biggthumpup:

I think it has an exhaust...or do you mean a 'vip' exhaust? LOL

LoL!! 
 
maybe have it re-fitted if it already has a custom exhaust system....They're set too far into the bodykit.
 
I'd rock 4" chrome tips for sure tho:biggthumpup:

I vote for some badass Ti mufflers stickin' out! (real Ti, not that flame broiled APC stuff)

Anyways, sweet ride, not often (for me anyways) that you see a Z with so much camber in the rear.

Thanks for wasting my time with the HDR's ... facker.

No probs Pete.

As far as taking city shots, great suggestion. I never really realized that it may stand out better in a city vs out in the boonies.

The exhaust..yeah I need to do something about that later. I would like to run a full titanium exhaust in the future.

And the ride height, yeah the pictures look funky because the ground was uneven. I need to redo those shots in the city like you guys suggested!

Camber adjustable in the front? I think it would look amazing if it was matched closer to the rear, but you sir have my favorite 350 I have ever seen!

Here's pics of it lower:

Stance looks soooo much better on flat ground!  Wow that thing is beautiful!

this may be the nicest "stock" z i have ever seen!

:biggthumpup::runcoold:

yepp... sicker on flat ground, keep it up.

beautiful.

perfect!

P your 350 is definitely the sickest Ive seen very nicely done...I too would like to see it in a more urban setting or maybe even some rolling shots Im sure Im not the only one who'd like to see those the stance is soooo on point in the second set of shots real pavement does it more justice...:biggthumpup:

OH JEEZUS!!!    100x better on flat ground.  I love your car!

Thanks for the tips and compliments everyone :biggthumpup:
