Los Angeles Photoshoot

AyJay87 · 03-15-2015, 02:26 PM

Hello all. Wanted to share some photos my friend took with my 135i in various locations in LA last night. We had to rush some shots due to traffic (you know, didn't have the roads closed) so some aren't the best, but Photoshop came in handy mostly. We took most of these past 10 pm so that helped with the traffic a little.

Locations in order of appearance:
1) Some hill/outlook near Dodger Stadium
2) 2nd Street Tunnel
3) Random overpass on the 110 fwy
4) Disney Concert Hall
5 & 6) Mall in my hometown

Tell us/show us where you like to take photos of your 1er and let us know what you think. Thanks for looking.

the first 4 are wayy to edited but the last 2 are kinda cool. You should try shooting in the arts district (no traffic) or late night (past midnight) around LACMA or hollywood. thats where i usually shoot.

I agree the first picture has a lot of potential but is over edited and that 4th shot would be awesome also if it wasn't over edited

Yeah, most of the shots aren't in focus either...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I generally agree and we are definitely amateurs lol. This will be a great starting point for any projects we feel like taking on. The last pic is my personal favorite as well.

Tunnel shot dominates. Best angle for our cars.

The tunnel shot would've been my favorite if it was in focus. There was traffic coming behind so my friend only had a few moments. I guess we could have gone back, but I didn't want to push my luck...

Nice! Love the look on the VMR V705

I think it looks cooler out of focus. Like it is from the 80's or as if you awoke from a dream and your eyes are blurred but the sight is so amazing you just keep looking anyways.

That's a refreshing way to look at it! I like it.
