took some photos of ying and yang.

Hi Everyone,

Teutonicdan and I decided to take some pictures after work. We recently dropped our cars and put on wheels. Thanks to this board/community we were able to get information and ideas on modding our cars. From visually sampling other car/wheel combinations to offsets, lowering height etc etc allowed us to make an informed decision. Again, thanks!

E93 AW on Work T1S Step Lip 19x9 +35 19x10 +35 lowerd with KW V2

Teutonicdan
E92 JB on Maya STM 4" rear lip 19x9 +23 19x10 +30 lowered with Tien SS

My first time with an SLR, and the pictures were touched up by a photoshopper. Came out pretty nice i think. Criticism and advice welcome as I would like to get better with this camera. I will try other landscapes next time to make use other functions of my camera.

Some acknowledgements:
Speedstar did the drop and the wheels. Fist pump for Albert!

No other mods

And Soni. Just cause he's sexy.

very nice

OwnAge · 08-22-2010, 02:22 AM

Sweet rides. Love the drop on that vert.

S_1_N_3_R · 08-22-2010, 02:57 AM

wow! beautiful pics. the chrome accents on the black e92 look amazing...

c416 · 08-22-2010, 09:17 AM

good start to car photography.
where's the location?

I did find some of the wide angle shots distorted the cars too much, making them look very long.
Try shooting at the longer end of the lense and shooting at a lower f stops, that would eliminate the distortions and make the cars pop out abit more from the background

vantage_coupe · 08-22-2010, 09:48 AM

What sideskirts are on the black e92?

hey bud,

thanks for the input.

i think i know what you mean by f stop. what does f stop mean anyway? and what do you mean by shooting at the longer end of the lense?

Hey Saigon,

Thanks man, i actually had your wheels the last two years. VMR VB3s, but i found them so hard to clean. It looked hella good cause im into the OEM look, but thought this time i'd switch it up a bit.

Irishace · 08-22-2010, 02:21 PM

Gorgeous pictures and great choice of backdrop. Nice work fellas, you cars are top notch.

thanks, I was going to do a CF wrap on the brushed alum. trim but I think it goes with the rims now so...maybe just a proper ceramic tint to make it stand out even more

CHCCubs · 08-22-2010, 03:51 PM

Nice cars and great pics.

F stop is lens aperture.

Let say you have a lense Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5, you will notice there is some corners distortion when you shooting on 10mm setting and hard to notice any distortion on 22mm.

Laguna3 · 08-22-2010, 07:52 PM

Gorgeous Cars ! Great job ! What size tires on the rears?

Belarus · 08-22-2010, 08:13 PM

Very nice rides.

Do like what you've done so far with your AW Vert, specially being the owner of one, looks really good
