That reminds me, I have a new (to me) place and I haven't yet taken pics in front of the new (to me) garage door. Must take care of that!

The door would look better without the piece of trash in front!!
Next time, over expose the picture. Or, with the white door, use the "snow scene" setting on the camera.
Cameras try to make the average picture grey. That's why the white door is dark.

Thanks for the compliment on the bike, and thanks for the photo tips. That shot was over exposed by 2 stops. My camera doesn't have that fancy snow setting, so I used spot metering, center weighted, and matrix metering, with exposure compensation. It was a very overcast dark day and I didn't feel like dragging my studio lights outdoors to take a picture of a piece of trash.

Sorry, didn't know there was a proper setting for the crankset. As for the valve caps, I use them as they keep road grime out of the valve assembly, and protect it from flying rocks etc. The tube companies really do put them on the tube for a reason.

But the real question is ....... steel or alu? I'm guessing steel(Door). Did you consider CF for the door?

Very nice make, don't let others say otherwise.
It's you that gets to use it, right?
I couldn't make out the model, though.
Sears 3000?

The subject of installing the latch and handle has come up, and i decided to go with the clean look. This time I was lucky, the car was parked outside with a remote.

let's move this thread to garage door forum where they ask "did i over pay for my garage door", door nazis yell at door freds, and argue about why no one waves when they open their garage door.
