    Is that from gloves or just dry skin.

    I believe the pic of the hands was for me, thought Phil was just kickin it at the shop, but apparently he's a sucker for punishment. You should try using skin guard once those heal up phil. Its a product that protects the skin from chemicals, we had to use it at GM for those with hyper sensitive skin

    Interesting link Bryan. I have incredibly sensitive hands to detailing products. I used Prevex over the summer but it had mediocre results. My skin was still peeling but not as much in comparison to only using nitrile gloves. Might have to give that stuff a try next season.

    Curious what lens you use with your camera? Been looking for a lens more friendly for indoor shooting

    Nothing is wrong with that.. Just that if you want to be creative, Manual mode is where is at.

    I agree with you Franki. Auto mode is very limited and doesn't allow the camera to do work. It's basically like having a stock phone or ipad vs having it jailbroken or a rooted android.

    I would slowly jump into Manual mode, try P mode (program mode), or A (Aperture Mode) mode depending on your camera even S mode (Shutter Mode) and that will allow you to see how the camera makes adjustments before diving into manual mode.

    I use to always shoot in Auto mode and my photos lacked quality. As soon as i started shooting in M mode the photo's were super crisp!

    But I have to say, phil takes awesome pictures with his setup. Even tho I'm not a Nikon fan.

    Just pulling your leg, I'll have to give M mode a try sometime.

    I know this is going back Phil but did you even post a write up about this job? I was interested at the time and just realized I never saw you post anything else about it.
