Quote: So i switched up some parts on my bike. Trying to go for a less tarck look and a more classy look. No more purple wheels, i changed them with hand polished deep v's (by yours truly) i changed out my risers for some Leader drop bars, my black seat post for the Leader SPA2 seatpost, and my FSA vero crankset for the new Leader crank that I'm trying out for them (so far so good! thanks guys!! ) i do want to change my fork.. i really want it to have that flush look to it. not how my forte fork is lookin right now.. On to the pictures!!(ignore the clutter in the background.. it was dark out. i wanted pictures) The purple one is my buddies from a couple pages back.(his wheels havent exploded unfortunately )











Let me guess...you own a E36 BMW?

Quote: White balance is off! Ahh, it hurts my eyes. Pretty bike though. What are better BB options?
From what i know.. that is something you might need to ask leader. But the current bb is one of those external bearing ones, dont know the specifics but so far im enjoying it, its a very direct feel with no play like my old bottom bracket.

Quote: Its actually not that terribly off, assuming this wasn't shot in the middle of the day. I do most color correction after I've shot, because the sensors, no matter how good the camera, are never gonna be 100% on.

And oh yeah, classy build, I didn't know leader made an Omnium-style crank?
The Crank right now is a feeler type thing right now.. so if you guys like it you should let them know, and to my understanding the price would be very reasonable for crankset and bottom bracket.

I guess the white does look white, but the whole picture is off. It can easily be corrected if shot raw or even just in camera. how many of you are photographers?

Very nice! I could tell from the clear corners you had on the work bench and the Mann Filters.

As a fellow BMW freak, I own a e46 330i, e39 540i, and 2002tii myself all manual of course.

Yeah you could do that too. What do you shoot with? Can I see some of your work? Here's some of mine. Http://www.flickr.com/alas26

I'd go with raw, I don't trust in-camera color correction.

or if you are SMART have a GOOD camera you can preset your whitebalance because you always carry one of these with you:

https://www.amazon.com/WhiBal-White-B.../dp/B000ARHJPW

Shooting in RAW is for people who print big(feet big) pro quality photos where they need to do optimization later and/or have the time to extend their post processing workload from any shoot from a matter of minutes to days. If you're posting pictures on the internet and shoot in raw you either can't use your equipment or don't have an SLR that is meant for anyone other than soccer moms... and even a lot of soccer moms are better photographers than people who shoot in raw because they are worried about getting the wb wrong. if you're in changing whitebalance conditions(cloudy days with patches of sun constantly moving overhead, buildings with lots of rooms to shoot in that have different light sources, a disco...) then raw is a good choice but other than that it's the 'penny wise dollar foolish' approach to whitebalance. you either balance the shot in the camera or you shoot in raw, make unnecessarily large files, extend your processing times tenfold, and decrease productivity. real, successful pros don't simply 'shoot in raw to worry about wb later.' they weigh that approach with the time it takes to adjust whitebalance manually after the opportunity to preset has passed.

Also included in the exempt-from-my-criticism bunch are photojournalists who don't have time to whip out a wb card before they need to make a shot all of the time.

Shooting raw gives you the most options to your picture. To each their own, but your criticism is pretty ignorant. I shoot raw and adjust white balance if needed. It's usually not necessary with my type of work, but if I'm not using off camera lighting I do it anyway. If I can, at least.

P.s. whoever pays 30 bucks for a white/grey card is a tool. Just a little criticism from yours truely. You can make that for free, and yes, I have.
