[madformx5]

I was wondering if any of you guys knows who owns this car? I am talking about the white 4dr with the DSII on it in the forefront of the picture. Thanks.

mother effer, i had like 5 pics left to paste in (out of like 100), and then i clicked a bookmark above the image tag maker and lost it all. here we go again...

all photos were shot using a Nikon D60 with a Sigma 18-250mm f3.5-6.3 lens.

if any of you want one of these in their full resolution, copy the image URL, find the "L" at the end of the link, and replace it with an "o".

A lil rubbing, and a lil water, and voila! :)

But no, I am serious, thats all it took. I did it the night before, and it came out pretty sweet I think.

So many nice cars there this year! What happened to all the daily drivers and beaters like before?!

so just some sand paper and water or what? or is this like a secret recipe thing? :)
is there a name for the technique/look?

Your framing and post processing are excellent. Please let me have your man babies.


I was also surprised at how many people took photos of my camera stock. You guys are just great.

Awesome pictures. My car was there in spirit...



I shall be there next year with a finished car.


And does anyone know whose 348ts that is? My ex girlfriend's dad had that same car.

Is that "Spirit Dust" I see under the car?

LOTS more meets this year, get that thing DONE!

Mine are here: http://www.epitom3.com/pics/cramer/e...2009/index.htm

Awesome show this year! I hear we had somewhere around 230 e30s showing this time. That's a far cry from the 20 or 30 we used to have just a few years ago lol!

Lot's of gorgeous e30s this year too. It's cool to see so many people trying out different, interesting things with their e30s (matte black! :shock: ). Seeing them all really made me want another e30.

To Brad: Jesus, man! What kind of camera are you rockin? Those pics are fantastic!

p.s. That's my blue e36 in front of the slammed white 6er! I thought I'd parked far enough away to stay out of the pics!

[B Squared]

Brad, nice pics! Were you the one that I talked to with the 5d mk2? I was the one with the mk1. Were these all with your 24-70 2.8? Nice compositions :).

Nah, I was running around with a 5D mk1 also. I had a 135mm f/2 only...made for a lot of leg work getting stuff framed right but pics came out perfect...thanks for all of the love guys
