    Introducing 88325isboy's new ride!

    **Click pics for larger**

    Just a reminder of the old car:



    And the new car (with some shots of mine, just look past those if u want):

































    I know the composition sucks and like 90% are underexposed, this was my first attempt at this. I've always gone by the rule that underexposing is better than overexposing, so I abided by that this time. I don't have photoshop or anything great like that, so I had to rely on my raw images. Constructive criticism welcomed as I know there's a lot of improving that needs to be done. Pics were taken with an Olympus C-8080 in full manual mode.

    As far as Bobby's car, it's an '87 325e. We worked our asses off after his accident to swap everything over to the new car, swapped the complete suspension, brakes, some windows including rear, and complete interior including the newer third brake light and rear deck from his '90 325i. As well as swapped his power sunroof from the old car in place of the manual in the new one. It's got an Mtech I wheel and maplight mirror, lots more on the way. This is only stage I, we've still got to swap the diff, throw in the sways, put on the spoiler and rear plate filler and finish fixing the headlight assemblies from the old car. Then the motor build can begin.

                  That car makes me feel good about my car's paint :)

                  I am unfamiliar with the camera you used for these, but beside the underexposure, they seem to have a lot of grain/noise and a lot of artifacting. Photoshop is an investment you have to make if you are persuing photography.

                    Yeah, I was wondering about that noise myself, wat all could have caused that?

                    I'm assuming resolution among other things, but I wasn't using low resolution here so was rather curious. Thanks for the input.

                      Numerous factors can cause grain; too high of an ISO, not a long enough shutter. It looks like you used MS Paint to resize and save them. They look to have a lot of JPG artifacting yet they are about twice the file size they should be, which is strange to me.
