I will make sure to post as we progress

my roommate has a 626rwhp whippled termi...its niiiiiice! we have a total of 4 stangs in the house and god forbid a Z06 will be showing up shortly

Great pictures, and welcome. I saw your website last night and tried downloading a few of the large images of the 135i you have there. No luck.

Those are some of the coolest photo's I've seen. Good work!

thank you very much. I dont know why you would be having trouble saving the pics, should just have to right click and save as, but if you are having trouble let me know which ones you want and Ill send you a direct link to the file on my server or just post them on here

rrobello, this is kind of OT but what program did you use to do the post-processing on those? they're gorgeous!

Troyn · 03-27-2008, 01:01 AM

Great shots! Thanks for sharing!

Richard,

Welcome aboard. Okay, you had to have photoshopped those images, so tell us more about your Photoshop techniques. These images have that arcade game affect.

And, very cool that you have this Mustang history and were attracted to the 135i, because that is exactly what BMW has built; a German Mustang!

EINSER M · 03-27-2008, 01:52 AM

awesome pics! i need to drive down to SD to have you take pics like that of mine!!!!!!!!

Oregon · 03-27-2008, 02:06 AM

rrobello · 03-27-2008, 02:20 AM

actually very little was done in photoshop on these. I shot them in RAW just in case I needed to make whitebalance adjustments but I didnt. The only thing I did with these pics was a very minor tweaking of the levels and or contrast and in a few cases a very tiny change of curves; except that last one it was a bigger curve adjustment but only because the car was so dull that it was unnoticeable and I liked the shot and wanted to keep it but was too lazy to adjust just the car...lol. For some reason it created a very painted look even though I didnt go extreme with the curves. Oh well I still like it.

anytime just let me know, but I am still in the learning phase, if you are serious I have a friend who is better than I am so perhaps he can help if he's interested
