Shot with Rebel XTI on auto because I don't know how to use this thing

Sylon · 11-06-2010, 03:42 PM

Such a pretty color. Sometimes I wish I went with it, but I really like the CR interior and didnt want to go with the Superman look.

Nice looking car dude.

MarkR171 · 11-06-2010, 03:42 PM

Congrats! It's beautiful isn't it?

Love the last photo especially.

You'll start noticing your car will change color under different lighting conditions.

Sunlight, it's a bright blue with hints of green. At night, it's a really deep, dark blue. In parking garages, it looks almost purplish like Interlagos blue. I love it.

very true - i notice the car looks purplish at night, navy during rain/darker days and gorgeous light blue during the daytime, or under heavy lights

bozola · 11-06-2010, 07:28 PM

Nice Car and Nice Color... no make that GREAT color.

One wonders how different it is than Montego Blue.

I like the last picture, but would have two hints..

Remember the rule of thirds.

and pay attention to the composition. (Tree comes out the top!)

I agree. That last photo is my favorite! I like how the blue looks there. It was photos like that one that influenced me in choosing Le Mans myself.

Cool video and nice car. Enjoy! I'm having a blast with mine. I really have to do that Performance Center Delivery and/or European Delivery. Looks like fun.

Yeah, I can attest to that! I've had mine for a week now and it's incredible how much the color changes. I like it best the way it's pictured in the OP's last picture, but I have yet to see mine look like that in person. Perhaps it's because New Hampshire isn't exactly bright blue sunny skies this time of year.

Montego is a slightly lighter color.

Any of you Tampa guys ever feel like letting me check out your car? Currently own an s2000 and wanting a 135i coupe. All the dealerships only have verts and I want to check one out before I make a final decision.

RobMason · 11-10-2010, 10:47 PM

Nice shot. I added a little enhancement. Before and after.
