CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Gave the new camera kit a random hitout today (Canon 7D Mk II, 100-400 L IS II) God drat, you can see every single drop of water from that sea doo crystal clear. I know that the quality of the pictures is in large part due to the operator, but that is a nice piece of glass. I look forward to seeing your motorsport images with that kit. What’s the next event to shoot? Modus Man fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Nov 3, 2018 |

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Anyone interested in a Automotive Photography thread, ie discussion on how tos / cameras etc? Yes. Might even get me to practice using my ‘babby’s first’ DSLR by taking pictures of my muddy and rusty suv’s. I’ve been sadly just using my camera on fully automatic mode like a point and shoot and wouldn’t mind seeing some tips and tricks for automotive photography. I’d really like to take pictures at some of the automotive events we get around here, like getting into the Lingenfelter collection when they open to the public once a year.

Stopped gerrymandering. 3. Made it a lot easier to vote, allowing for registering to vote on the spot and getting absentee ballots whenever you want.

`Nemesis posted:According to Firestone this is not repairable. Every store that sells and repairs tires received some literature a few years ago from the Rubber Manufacturers Association, detailing that the repair area of a tire is only the center tread area. Now nobody wants to touch it if it’s anywhere near the shoulder because even though there isn’t an actual law governing tire repair, the RMA literature has been used as guidelines in lawsuits. It’s a bunch of bs because a tire can be repaired anywhere as long as it’s done properly (including the sidewall, excluding the bead area). Oh, and just a plug is a no-no too since the hole needs to be filled and the inside needs to be patched. /End tire repair rant

NumbersMatching320 posted:sidewalls are extremely difficult without a cured repair (as would happen during retreading) because of all the flex that happens in the area due to the belts only extending so far. I spent the last year of my tire career testing the limits and if the corded section of a reinforced patch (such as a CT-12) extends much past the belted section of a radial tire it will almost invariably fail. Non-reinforced patches may do better but I don't trust them all that far due to the smaller bonding area. I agree, reinforced patches are too stiff to use on the sidewall of a passenger tire. I always tell my customers to just follow the RMA guidelies for their customer's tires. In my own tire, I would be completely comfortable using a good patch plug combo in the sidewall. The one I sell, for example, is non-reinforced solid rubber with chemical-cure cushion gum on the patch and on the stem.
