Spent two full days in the Rover. Drove across town to ref a hockey game and then stopped to watch the Bruins v Avs game at the Pepsi Center (I still have the coolest truck in that parking lot....) before heading home.
Sunday, the family and friends piled in to drive to the Denver Stock Show, then south for dim sum before returning home.
A good weekend in our Rover!Seth

I have been meaning to get to this rust for some time, and the brake issue that I'm working on right now gave me an excuse to open up the body panels -- so, now I'm working on the rust, brakes, electrical, seals, doors, heater, fan, and... uh... probably more that I can't think of, or don't know about yet.
Beginning a restoration of the front half of the truck.Comment

No, not an iPhone... but I did use an iPhone to light the scene. It was virtually black in there except for the light from the screen of the phone, which I used to 'paint' the areas of the truck that I wanted to show up on the camera -- which was a Nikon D200 on a tripod, shooting 20 second frames.
I then took the 4 or 5 images and layered them together in Photoshop, did a little bit here, a little bit there, and I have a much better photo than just a snap-shot with a blinding flash.Comment

Ha, ha! Thanks.

Imagine each of the photos on top of one another, one with the wheel lit up, one with the bulkhead, one with the bumper and headlights. Then take each of those layers and tell the computer to only show the pixels of each layer that are brighter than the pixels below it, and so on, and that is the result.
Here are some more, also done in my garage with just an iPhone for light: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bhcmbai...7625001107528/
As far as the Rover is concerned. I'm doing a restoration of the front end, maybe even an engine swap. It has run really well for the past two years, but it's time to restore the things that are going bad, so something bad doesn't happen, and so I won't be into much more $$$$$$$ down the road!Comment

By hand. The camera won't see anything that isn't light, so as you move the phone around, you only have to keep it moving, even, and turned away from the camera.
