They are subtle on BSM, but I like them a lot. Definitely more noticeable in person than photos as well. It's not easy to bring out all the lines on a black car.

I totally agree with you.. I am waiting for something more aggressive that flares out a bit more because of wider tires but these are an option for sure.. btw love your pictures of your E90!!!

I didn't shoot at 1.2 though.

I think I was around F2.8 to 6/7 on these.

datbimmerdoe · 08-19-2009, 01:08 AM

Sick ride and pics.

sootyvrs · 08-19-2009, 03:00 AM

Looks great.

Your Breytons seem to stick out more than other pics I've seen. Are you using spacers?

No spacers (no rubbing either).

That's as low as it goes. It's not adjustable.

SV Concepts III · 08-19-2009, 11:50 AM

Looks great, love the photography too. I need to learn how to take photos

hotbmwfan · 08-19-2009, 12:06 PM

Looks Great !!! The black-out treatment really makes the 1 series look imposing/classy/sporty. Thats the look I'm going for too when I get some money together.

ye it can..

nice photos by the way, like ur stuff including rig photos, which i do too..
One suggestion, you might like it or not.. take 2 photos.. cause alot of ur photos I noticed come out a lil over-exposed. by taking the darker photo, when you over lay them, and mask them, you can still maintain the pic you took, and with the darker photo, youll be able to reveal the background..

ki__ · 08-19-2009, 01:31 PM

Awesome car, love the photos

Yea I've done a lot of HDR photos for that exact reason in the past, but I didn't have a tripod with me this time.

well I didnt mean HDR, i meant overlaying actual photos, and covering up, or revealing through masking..

Yea, but it's the same goal.

well from My understanding not really, cause HDR is a lil cartoony, and people have to be nice with it, because I see HDRI all the time, and IMO I think people are pretty bad with it, and dont have the concept down.. I dont do HDR because I want to do it right, and not make it wrong..

what I insisted to you was, lets say you took one Balanced Image, like you did, just a camera has no control of metering, to get background and foreground correct, without overexposing one or the other(From experience), your photos came out nice, because you metered them well, and got them properly to expose.. and the camera overexposes the rest.. I suggest you also take one underexposed foto to over lay, and than you take the brush tool, mask the background foto, and real the rest..
