Photography

I grew up with photography as a hobby because it was a household hobby among the boys. As time passed by, photography became an expensive hobby and  I downgraded from SLr to a sub-professional camera. Over time, the quality of the handphone's camera improved tremendously as it became imensely popular and one could do away with the bulkiness of the optical camera and its accessory. Furthermore, I realized as for me, the largest image I was ever going to need for my hobby was the size of my 19" desktop monito. Here, a high end smartphone was could deliver that in exceptionally good quality. Desktop editing and even handphone app editing advanced so much that I have long said goodbye to SLRs.

Assessing exhaust finish options

I sandpapered the stainless pipe with No.600 sandpaper to see the effect of a brush chrome exhaust pipe. For one, it's slippery smooth to touch and there won't be any fingerprints to see. There is less maintenance with this option. However, I am monitoring to see how long the pipe can maintain its brush chrome brilliance without polish. I need to get an second opinion later from the exhaust fabricator whether the quality of the stainless steel pipe used makes a difference, failing which, I may opt for a black mandrel pipe or fully stainless steel; a tussle between cost and least maintenance.
