Nine Brackets on at Three Bracket Camera | Time and Time Photographer

Great demonstration for how to compensate when you only have 3 brackets for under and over exposing shots for HDR, like my Canon 50D. Will be anxious to try it this weekend as I do a shoot with my family at my church, wonderful opportunity to try it out.

Bought this for my droid today, excited about the 99 cent app that may actually help me when I need an assist in taking the best shot possible! I also added a couple freebies that show when the sunrise and sunset are, will help when on vacation next week to get some nice shots over the water. I hope.

I have to learn how to do this, just need to find the time to practice and get the right shots!

This is very cool, super easy to use, Google Picaso has something similar, but this one was simple.

Nice review on the lens I own, cannot seem to take the shots I like, using a Canon XSi, shooting RAW, the 50mm 1.8 gives me such better shots I am starting to wonder on the quality of this lens or perhaps my inexpensive UV filter? Anyone have this lens that can comment?

How to use Zymol wax and time estimates

I have a friend that swears by the Zymol system, and even though it is very pricey, the results of his car are amazing. There is no way you would think his BMW is 10 years old, it literally looks brand new. I ordered the kit from www.carcareonline.com and they were very helpful in defining how to use this system, it will take between 5 and 6 hours to do the first time so now to find that time with a 6 year old running around!

I am posting the directions for anyone else interested in using this system since the kit did not contain specifics and I cannot seem to download the "owners manual" from Zymol, hopefully they will get back to me on what I am missing in the download.

Instructions for usage of the kit (I purchased the creame wax smart kit for my silver BMW 530)

I suggest looking for some video's as well, many of the high end detailers swear by waxing with your hands vs an applicator, may try both soon, will update this post when I do.

Zymol Clear Auto Bathe

Directions for Use:

1. Two full squeezes of Zymol Clear into a clean wash bucket will provide the correct concentration. Fill the wash bucket with clean warm water.
2. Rinse your car thoroughly.
3. Wash using a Zymol wash sponge. Start with the roof, then wash the engine compartment lid and the trunk lid.
4. Rinse.
   Note: Rinse the car and the sponge often.
5. Wash the upper door panels, fenders and tail.
6. Rinse.
7. Now, with your rinsed-out sponge, wash the lower door panels, the grille and the wheels.
8. Rinse.
   Important: Do not use soap-filled steel wool pads on the wheels or tires. These pads contain very strong sodium-based detergents.
9. Rinse your car thoroughly again; towel or chamois it off, then towel it dry.
   Note: Do not use any other type of chamois than a Zymol synthetic Chamois or an English Cod-tanned Chamois. All other types of chamois will remove wax.

Zymol HD-Cleanse Paintwork Cleaner

Directions for Use:

1. Using a clean HD-Cleanse applicator or a small terrycloth towel, apply HD-Cleanse evenly but liberally onto a three or four square foot section with a straight-line, side-to-side movement.
   NOTE: Do not use a circular motion when spreading HD-Cleanse.
2. Work HD-Cleanse into the finish with a medium to heavy pressure until the surface becomes tacky.
3. Gently buff with a clean Zymol towel to reveal the true, clean finish of your car (the paint squeaks).

Important: Do not drive the car or allow it to stand more than 24 hours without completing the Zymol process. (See Feeding).

Zymol Hand-Crafted Waxes

CREAME

Creame Wax, for light-colored cars, contains 33 percent Brazilian No. 1 Yellow Carnauba by volume; Carbon Wax for dark cars and Zymol's waxes for specific automotive marques: Saab, Volvo and Japon for Japanese cars contain 37 percent Carnauba by volume.

Directions for Use:

1. Wash and dry the car using Zymol Clear Auto Bathe.
2. HD-Cleanse the surface to assure 100% wax bonding.
3. Using the foam side of the Zymol Wax Applicator, apply a small amount of wax onto a 2'x2' surface in an even coat with side-to-side motions.
4. Using a Zymol Towel or any other non-sized soft cloth, slowly wipe the wax in the opposite direction, assuring a uniform coverage, with moderate pressure and wait 20-30 seconds.
5. Turn your towel and, with no pressure, dust the surface briskly to set and crystallize the Carnauba to a deep shine.
   Let the wax cure for 30-45 minutes.
   Note: Zymol wax is designed to provide maximum results with minimum product application. Apply small amounts of Zymol wax for each application.

My thanks to carcareonline.com and www.detailbest.com for their postings, hopefully will make it much easier to get that deep wet look I want.
