Awesome day for a drive

1MOz · 09-04-2012, 03:55 AM

It's my birthday today and with my 1M, my wife and I went for a drive to Northern Beaches for lunch, stopped by a lookout and took a few photos as well. Our friend has restaurant/Deli in Avalon called The Cooks Larder, great foods.

It was such a gorgeous day and the 1M was good fun cruising along the twisty roads of Northern Beaches.

Happy Birthday Quang,
Once again, amazing photos.

nice car, nice shots, HDR?

1MOz · 09-04-2012, 04:49 AM

Thanks guys.
Beemer, these are all single exposure. I yanked up the clarity of shot 1 a bit to emphasise the low angle and the road surface.

oystero · 09-04-2012, 05:37 AM

Happy birthday Quang. Love the first shot.

Happy birthday man! Today was indeed the perfect day for a drive to the beach.

1MOz · 09-04-2012, 06:50 AM

Thanks everyone for your birthday wishes.

Here are a few more photos now that my kids are in bed and I've got time to post-edit a few. I really like the BMW CF rear spoiler. It is a great enhancement to the back of the 1M.

Dackelone · 09-04-2012, 08:12 AM

Very nice pics! (& day!).

Rob32R · 09-04-2012, 08:34 AM

Happy birthday Quang, your 1M is shaping up to be really nice. Keep it up mate!

Quality photos!

ippykaye · 09-04-2012, 08:35 AM

Nice pics! Happy birthday! After looking at how well your spoiler sits, I've got to redo mine

It's starting to pop up on the sides

Stupid double sided tape.

alik01 · 09-04-2012, 08:43 AM

Happy birthday! Awesome shots!

TWD · 09-04-2012, 08:46 AM
