Unless I'm using them, the roof bars are of the FX. You can see how it sort of ruins the lines of the FX :-)

picture quality isn't quite as good as Ken's, but . . .
Obs Black FX stuck in protest crowd on I-10 in LA yesterday.

That's me! I haven't been on here in a while. I didn't get a picture of FX4BR's FX but it's sick!

Who is this?! I feel like it has to be a member! Window rolled down as I was getting over/about to miss my exit :( Considered showing up late to dinner just to catch back up.

I can imagine since I'm on aperture priority, by the time I set the aperture probably increasing it, determine where I want to set the iso after checking the shutter since its moving, and then put my focus point in it, I would had missed the shot. Do you follow essentially the same method but can just do it ridiculously fast or for something like this do you set to auto and just take the shot in a second or have some other trick?
 
If you're on aperture priority you don't need to touch shutter speed. If on manual then you need to adjust both. Also remember that higher iso presents more noise, so unless it's dark keep it low. Having a fast lens enables you to keep it lower in darker environments. AP is best for me n most situations.

What I mean is you adjust shutter speed by adjusting the iso when in aperture priority. So if that shot Ken took lets say I want at least a shutter speed of 80 to make sure I don't want it blurred, I would want to adjust my iso to the lowest level I can get so that I get at least 80 speed. Make sense? This doesn't happen automatically....I gotta adjust it. So all this stuff is going through my head as I take a shot..... The focus single point is another point adding time. I've been watching that a lot of professionals will use a single focus point (especially when you have a higher end camera) so that you can focus exactly where you want (like the eye of a person or center of a car, etc and if it's a good enough camera you don't have to reposition after the focus since you have so many focus points to deal with. If I want to practice doing that, I would had missed the shot Ken took. even a professional I figure it would take at least 2-3 seconds or so to figure this out (while myself might take right now closer to 10 seconds) and hence miss the shot like a car driving by.

I gotta say I just went outside and took pictures of the tree that fell in front of our house and it was so easy to just take the pictures in auto mode and it came out perfect. I wonder if in general people take auto photos and only when they really want something specific do they go into aperture or manual modes with single focus. I can't tell you how many videos on youtube I've watching of people saying they never no matter what use auto like it's the devil to learning and taking professional pics so it leaves me questioning what I should be doing. I don't want to fall into the trap of auto mode but given like the scenario above, I'm not sure what to think???
 
Most people do use auto and come out just fine, especially with the newer slrs. I play with the aperture to either give more/less depth in the picture. As for the iso, I would set it ahead of time. If you're walking around in would take a test shot and see what works best. Then if something comes up all you'll have to worry about is the aperture setting. As ken mentioned earlier, the aperture really matters more when taking closer shots with regards to bokeh. You can achieve great bokeh with a zoom lens at max zoom.

And where's that tree pic already. That storm was over me around 9pm..crazy wind gusts..

A DG was following me out by TMS with a painted grille and I think stock 20's. Looked like it was a new purchase, so hopefully he saw the iS stickers and will join up. He ended up cruising with me and couple other guys leaving autox. He made a "not bad" face and I gave him a thumbs up. FX was dirty though after all the rain I drove through a couple days ago.
 
You're over thinking it man. I was on aperture priority mode, auto iso so I let the camera decide what iso and shutter speed. AF-C (continuous)
