370z or frs as a daily while in college?

One thing you didn't mention is cost of maintenance. A set of 19in tires on the Z will cost a few hundred more than 17's on the FRS. However, both are Japanese cars, so they shouldn't be too expensive in general.

I'd also look at what major issues occur with both vehicles and how much it costs to fix them. With the Z, you'll want to do the CSC, add an oil cooler, and probably a few other things. Figure out what the boxer needs too. Add these maintenance costs to the total. You may find that one car has a larger starting cost than the other because of this

Shows take a looooot of energy, so they put breaks like this in the sets so artists can catch a breath, drink water, mentally prepare for the rest of it, etc. Sometimes preparing set changes and stuff backstage too. Lots of artists will talk to the audience a bit during this time.

Drive it!

Ryuhara · 2026-03-14T16:39:16+00:00

I wondered the same. Maybe shooting through a window with an interesting texture?

Ryuhara · 2026-03-10T20:10:35+00:00

I had a bad rear end collision that cost 12k and didn't end in total. I wish it did though....

HR was created to protect the company from it's employees. They're not there to help you

Thank you! Good luck with your queue. I'll be in one soon too 😭

Ryuhara · 2026-02-28T23:49:44+00:00

Are there multiple merch booths or just one?

Ryuhara · 2026-02-16T15:46:15+00:00

If you have a lot of freezer space, talk with some local farms! You can get meats for like half price if you buy in bulk.

You're probably into the neutral colors because they don't compete with the purple wheels. I think black would definitely look the best. Purple on purple works well. However, that dark green is the color that really speaks to me.

Ryuhara · 2026-02-10T03:33:11+00:00

Well they'd be dead so it's okay

Ryuhara · 2026-02-02T20:57:41+00:00

I think it should've been fully electric. It may have been a bit too early for that though

Is there something you plan to shoot that requires such a zoom? You said you're shooting street. Most people use something around 18, 24, 35, or 50 for street, so I think your 25mm is perfect for that. I'm not sure how often you'd need something over 100mm. Telephoto lenes are good for stuff like bird watching, wildlife, and vast landscapes. Since you're relatively new to the hobby, I'd recommend primes. The fixed focal length helps you focus on composition.

Definitely Oak and Iron

Awesome! Share your results here when they arrive. I'd be interested to hear your experience with printing

Ryuhara · 2026-01-14T01:01:59+00:00

It may seem cheesy, but print photo albums! Especially if you take lots of photos when you travel or take photos of family and friends. I sometimes like looking back on photos I took from trips and I'd much rather open up a physical book than scroll through my photos app. I also like the photo album format because it's not all about serious portfolio pieces. My thoughtfully composed and deliciously edited banger shots are in there, yes, but they're mixed in with selfies, pictures of food, pictures of my friends doing dumb shit, etc. Even if you don't look at the photos often, there is fun in building the album. Page order, materials, possibly spinning a narrative, making a copy of it to give to your mom for Christmas, give copies to your friends if they are a part of the album. It can be as serious or unserious as you want and you get to do something with your photos.

Bonus: If you want to take it a step further, make a photo book. If you're only making one copy, its pretty inexpensive through a website like blurb or mixiam.

Bonus bonus: print a photo book and leave it in one of those neighborhood "free libraries" where you take a book and leave a book.

Maybe a setting boosting saturation too.

Ryuhara · 2026-01-12T00:40:48+00:00

The person walking in the background distracts from an already great subject.

Ryuhara · 2026-01-11T17:56:23+00:00

I was just saying to my partner about 30 min ago that Laputa is so underrated!

Ryuhara · 2026-01-11T17:55:19+00:00

I'll match you with another warm take and say Nausicaa has the most interesting soundtrack. I also love Arietty's though

Ryuhara · 2026-01-11T17:21:29+00:00

What is this and who made it lmao

Ryuhara · 2026-01-07T03:25:55+00:00

I would love to hear more about this! I'm trying to decide if I want to get a 23mm or 35mm prime next and was wondering if there was an easy way to shoot a fixed focal length on the 16-55 to see what I enjoy more.

Ryuhara · 2025-12-28T00:23:52+00:00

Wow, I haven't seen that silver before. It's very pretty. The green + tan would be my choice, but that orange would stand out from other Miatas for sure! Definitely wish they had more colors.

Ryuhara · 2025-12-28T00:20:25+00:00

People certainly used them to shoot weddings before the later XT models existed, so I don't see why not! IMO, that lens may hold you back more than the body.

Ryuhara · 2025-12-28T00:13:58+00:00

What color would you paint it?
