First Photoshoot- Tell me what you think

swanlake · 10-26-2013, 05:15 AM

I had some free time this afternoon, and the lighting was perfect, so I decided to head down to the beach and try my hand at getting some solid shots in on a new to me DSLR. I realize they're not perfect, but this is my first time using a real camera in combination with photoshop for color correction, so hopefully I did alright. Let me know what you think

Also, yes, the rear bumper is still black... I just recently ordered the extra material I needed and hopefully the mtech rear, wrapped in the same color, will be on the car in the next 2 weeks.

Is your back bumper black.... Why didn't you wait till your bumper was done?

.... But yes it is. I just wanted to try my hand at it. I don't have very reliable free time right now, so I took the opportunity I had. I'll do another shoot once the rest of the car is done, but I was tired of just having iPhone pictures.

You have a very good eye my friend- those shots are brochure worthy IMO- what kind of camera was used?

Thanks man! Yeah I love it, totally freshens up the feel of the interior. It's the x1 steering wheel trim piece, I know there's a thread about it where you can find the PN. I got it from getbmwparts.com also known as Tischer BMW, but it was on like a 3 month back order from Germany lol. I think it was worth the wait though
