I use a ND grad filter (http://www.great-landscape-photography.com/graduated-filters.html) to properly expose the sky. Simply fit the bracket, slide in the filter, expose the foreground correctly, and shoot. You can slide the filter up and down until you get the desired result. You can also set your camera on a tripod and take two shots; one with the correct exposure for the sky and one with the correct exposure for the car. Take each shot into Photoshop and blend them together. EDIT: Love the car, stunning man.

Thanks gentlemen, most helpful. I have tried and hoped that the car would go to an enthusiast, but I have to call time on it and start taking in some dosh for it. After reading the above, seems like eBay is a high-risk strategy. Only tried selling on here and on Piston Heads with virtually no interest, so its time to ramp it up a bit.

Hi All I need to free up some cash and I want rid of my Scooby sooner rather than later (sooner has already come and gone). Can anyone give me some tips for selling on eBay with regards to fees etc. I don't want to sell then have to hand over 20% in fees. Any advice welcome. Thanks

Granted. But a "genius" to swap a phone? Taking it a tad to far one thinks!

I think you missed the point of the post Stephen. I wasn't putting down Apple's customer care, I was questioning the need for a "Genius" to swap a phone. A genius is the sort of person who invents things, like jet engines and other mega stuff. I just think their store staff are inappropriately named; talk about dumbing-down.

Thanks mate

Genius (a definition): 1.an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work in science, art, music,etc. 2. a person having such capacity. I have cracked the back of my iPhone, so I thought I’d call the Apple store in Glasgow to price a repair. The call went something like this: Me: Hi there, I was wondering if you could help. You see, I have cracked the back of my phone and I was wondering if I could price and organise a repair. Assistant: You will have to make an appointment to see a “Genius” to have your phone replaced, that will be £139 Me: A Genius? To replace me phone? But its only a little crack, around half inch in length, can’t the back simply be replaced? Assistant: No, we can’t do that, you will have to have the phone replaced by the “Genius” and its £139. Me: What? A genius? To replace a phone that has minor damage? Can’t I just have it fixed? Assistant: No, sorry, it has to be replaced by the “Genius” It takes a genius to replace a phone? Can you believe that crap!!!? A trained monkey could replace the back, let alone a genius to swap a phone! What an absolute farce! Anyway, does anyone know where I can get a new back for my 3Gs 16GB phone? Thanks! JW

Been on PH for a month and Scabby Net wouldn't let me post in the For Sale section.

Need to free up some cash, so grab a bargain on this latest super-low offer. £9700 - no offers. http://forums.sidc.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=147706&st=0

Yeah, I figured that after I ran the restore. Phone is working fine again. After I ran the restore and just as the phone completed the boot up phase, I received a text message that said something along the lines of, "Consider this an iWarning and don't attempt to jailbreak your phone again" Eek! No more Jailbreaking for me, its a minefield, that even traversed safely, offers precious little in the way of reward on the other side. People have asked me why I wanted to JB my phone and I couldn't really answer!

Got the phone restored. Even though I lost all my photos, music and apps and that as with a backup. Well done iTunes you pile of ****E!!!! Still have contacts, appointmens and texts - bid deal! And before anyone says "its in iTunes"... its not, because I lost all of it in a recent hard drive crash To download apps and songs I have to re-enter my apple ID and password which DOESN'T work. I ask for a reminder and enter my name and email address... Apple tells me there is no such account with those details. I mean, why do people buy this $hite??????

Good luck mate. If your buyer has a pal who is looking for a Scooby, send him my way will you. I doubt I'll miss mine when it goes; lost interest about a year ago to be honest. I don't even drive it now, the wife uses it for going back and forth to work.

Yeah, it rebooted. Tried it again, still the same. When I go into settings and then network then carrier it just says "Unable to load network list" So I can't call or text and can surf only with WiFi. 10 more minutes until the Apple software update completes its download...

Cheers, I hope so

Doing it now... hopefully I will get a network signal when the restore is run and that I have not damaged any hardware.

All the icons came back, Every time I look through that Cydia crap, nothing works and now my phone wont find a network, "Unable to load network list".

That was good... now my phone is completely f****d! All the inbuilt apps like SMS Phone, contacts etc. have completely dissappeared. Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man. I'm going in...!

I don't have it saved elsewhere though; as I said, the library items were on the crashed HDD.

OK, another iPhone virgin question of the stupid variety: I have lost all my data on a recently crashed HDD - so, if I reinstall iTunes and sync my phone, will I LOSE all my suff like pics, apps, music and ringtones OR will the stuff on my phone by saved to iTunes? I ask this because there have been times stuff has gone missing during the sync phase and now I really don't trust iTunes, actually, I HATE it!

What's Cydia??? I HATE not knowing stuff!

I'm a scaredy!!!!

How did you manage that? I read not too long ago that the latest 3GS couldn't be jailbroken. The only way to do it was using a Mac - I take it you have a Mac?

Dreadful thing to happen to anyone let alone to a car of this stature. Glad you and your passenger are OK though, that's the main thing, which of course, I'm sure you know. Hope the insurance pay out for you.

Make sure you have an old credit card to use as a squeagie (sp?) to push out air bubble and ensure good contact. After a few days, make pin-*****s in the air bubbles and use your credit card to flatten them down.
