Real life photo of space grey PLEASE

maxfx · 10-22-2008, 09:56 PM

Picked it up this afternoon from BMW Bellevue. My CA is Alvin, and he was great from first contact to delivery.

The photos were taken at sunset in the shade, and the car looks considerably darker than in sunlight. It appears to be a color that changes shades easily depending on the lighting.

One thing to note is that my camera is set to accentuate colors, so the red is a little softer in real life than it appears in the photos.

I am babying it, but it still feels very, very, nice.

Wow MaxFX your car looks great!
11 days until mine arrives in the country. It's going to be exactly the same, Space Grey and Coral Red... I can't wait!

Fantastic shot! Can I ask how you acheived it? Was the camera rig-mounted to the car or was it taken from another car in front of you?

rodi · 11-03-2008, 10:11 PM

cozza: from the looks of the image, the car was parked in this position and the (motion and radial) blur was added in post.

i would agree, the rear wheel looks a bit strange and there´s no one at the driver´s seat

Someone give me more pics of space grey!!!!!

I need my fix

rodi · 11-05-2008, 01:36 PM

can you wait two weeks?

Hopefully · 11-05-2008, 03:36 PM

Yep, you guys were right, did some quick photoshop and had to take a pair of "spare" wheels from another shot, weren't good enough to do the job though and i didn't have any others, but it was fun work anyway. Here's a glimpse of the original......t'was freezing cold up there and my camera got wet with snowflakes and I thought that the real thing just didn't give the idea :wink:

DCD · 11-05-2008, 10:24 PM

The boat was supposed to arrive in the country today (well it was supposed to arrive 3 days ago!) so hopefully I'll get to go and see it Monday?
I think mine will be the first Space Grey on these forums with BMW Performance Carbon bits on it? I can't wait to see how it looks! If you guys ask nicely I'll put some pics up :P

Addict...Nah Im A Junkie! · 11-05-2008, 10:27 PM

"Hopefully" i think that photoshoped pic in the snow would be a great pic for December in the 2009 Calendar!

DCD · 11-06-2008, 10:11 PM
