This morning I checked the 31 or so job sites I usually check to see if there was anything I could apply to that was full time and permanent......I found nothing, as seemingly usual.
I decided I would cheer myself up before my fast-food job this afternoon by jumping in Humdrum (my base-model 2009 Hyundai Accent hatchback) and popping down the road 2 mins to a local, seldom-used-but-still-public gravel road that cuts back through the woods to another seldom-used-but-still-public gravel road.
It’s pretty rough back there beyond about 250m in, so I only went back about 1km to a nice 400m or so stretch where the morning light was coming right down the road. A guy heading back out in a white Chevy Silverado quad-cab longbed stared at me with a very confused face to find me back there in my little Hyundai with a camera, but I don’t care, haha! I was happy in the morning sun, surrounded by the bright colors of the leaves with my gift Nikon D3300 that mom had given me for Christmas last year, no matter how shite I am at taking pictures - it was fun using it on cars for once (I rarely have time to use it at all with 4 part-time jobs)!
A selection of my amateur pictures of a dirty Korean appliance with (currently) ‘98 Ford Escort rims/custom 3D Printed, non-color-matching Hyundai center caps - Enjoy! :P
No Dusty - my Oppo decal isn’t that faded - the sun is just causing it to look so, it’s still a vibrant red! :) Have to replace that FIATALY decal though...

I had the ‘09 sedan version - I just traded it in.
It always worked when I needed it to, except for when the starter crapped out earlier this year, and the only other part replacement it needed was the sway bar links since it made an awful knocking noise going over bumps. In terms of the powertrain, it worked and was incredibly cheap to run. I’d easily recommend this car to anyone who just needs a really cheap runabout.
I really liked the car until I drove something new - it really magnified the flaws of my Accent.
On another note, there are some really good photographers on here that can probably give you pointers. In your case, maybe try playing with the metering function - I think in yours the camera was trying to expose the photos based on the whole photo, whereas with your car in the centre of each photo you may get better results with a centre-weighted metering, which will expose the photo based on what’s in the centre moreso than the surroundings (I think Nikon’s have a centre-weighted one and a dot one which uses only the centre to expose the photo). Just thought I’d point it out since in some photos, parts of the car seem over/under exposed.

4 part time jobs, hot damn. I understand your, I’m currently unemployed and living with my parents with my paid off car.
