Was going to send them to saferisk for a more professional editing but they are too big to be sent!!

So I managed to use 'Paint' to block out the plates and faces, here they are.

For those interested the camera is a Canon EOS 60D with a EF-S 17-55 F2.8 IS USM zoom lens.

Enjoy!!

great pictures, lol"ed at the blanked out faces..thought that was restricted only to numberplates

LOL!!!
Just got myself a copy of Lightroom.....
Will try to learn to use it and hopefully produce a more decent editing next time. LOL....

sismic · 01-23-2011, 05:21 AM

Thx for sharing the pics and the time to upload them,Stephen.
If you are using Canon, usually it comes with Photoshop Elements software, it will do the job required

Hahaha, there wasn't any M3s besides alpine white ones, but there was a wide body 335i painted Ferrari grey

'fatboy' · 01-23-2011, 06:27 AM

Guys / Gals,

That was a great meet on Sat. The drive up the reefton was magic and virtually traffic clear.

Love the pics (and the white out faces... I've never looked so good!).

Saferisk, thanks for pulling it together.

Dimsim E46Fanatic · 01-23-2011, 02:18 PM

Dear you guys,

I had an awesome time thanks to all the amazing people that were there that day! Not to mention the cars were sikkkk! I was rather relieve that nobody gave me a hard time for making the group look sh*t with the e46.

Here are my contribution to the pics and being the cheapest car there, naturally my camera would be the same too. It is actually a very good camera but I had it on a lower setting for quicker snaps coz I was taking pictures of my cat the other day and forgot to adjust the settings back

Special thanks to Alex for organising and Eric for letting Peter know about the cruise. Would love to cruise with you guys again before I leave

rossiM3 · 01-23-2011, 03:09 PM

Gary, awesome photos mate! Your ability to drive and take photos was sure impressive. Specially the ones behind, I laughed everytime I saw ur hand sticking out the window but damn you got some great ones!

That Ferrary Grey 335i is pure sex!
Love the Z4 as well = those wheels are hot.

They both need to do a full photoshoot!

Lol at the blanked faces as well, why so shy? feeling self conscious

sbce90 · 01-23-2011, 04:18 PM

Looks like a good meet. Did the kind man on the bike let you off easy?

And if i must say... better cars than in Sydney..

nez · 01-23-2011, 04:46 PM

Yeah what was the cop all about ? Did he want to sign the rear bumper as well?

How long was the cruise all up and can someone post the route you took. Ta.

Nice job with the photos sismic.

I forgot to ask you, what settings were you using through the mountain? Were you in D or S?

Mine was as follows

Drivelogic: S6
EDC: Sport
Servotronic: Sport
Power: Sport Plus
DSC: Off

My car handled a lot better when it was on 18's. It was actually quite noticable

I think EDC:Sport is way too stiff for 19's...

orey · 01-23-2011, 05:34 PM

yeh well it fooled me

amaze.

things ended up getting a bit loose at my beach house didnt make it back to melbourne till like 11.

count me in for the next one though.

akwoo · 01-23-2011, 06:10 PM

Dimsim took one for the team. I think the ticket was for failing to give way. Luckily I was bit ahead of the traffic at that stage or else that copper would have taken me to the cleaners at the end of that long straight.

The route was Mulgrave-Warburton-Reefton-Marysville-Black Spur-Healsville-Lilydale-Home. Around 5 hours of driving time.

On a drive like this I usually press the M button as soon as I get out of the city. My M button is set to:
Drivelogic: S5
EDC: Normal
Servotronic: Sport
Power: Sport Plus
DSC: MDM

I never drove my car with the 18's but that's interesting to hear.

BTW your missus did well on a spirited drive like that. Mine would have forced me to take her home 10 minutes into it.

As soon as we left the BMW carpark, the M button was pressed

Any reason why you dont have your EDC set to Sport? Do you find it to stiff?

Yeah she was great until she said "I think the E46 M3 handled better"

I was about to slam on the brakes and make her walk home after that comment!
